4K possible from MLraw? At least with 5D3?

[grooveminister]

In ML we select picture width (typically 1920) and aspect ratio (2:35.1 / 1.85:1 / 16:9).

But debayering happens in post, so the complete width of the sensor (5D3: 5760 x 3840) seems to be sampled and written to CF anyway with the height according to the aspect ratio that´s been set unless we´re using crop mode.

Software to develop RAW stills like DPP or LightRoom do even debayer to the full maximum sensor resolution (5D3: 5760 x 3840).

So basically it should be possible to extract 4K video from the very same MLraws we are now recording, because the debayering and (down-)scaling is happening in post.

Or am I missing something?

Best wishes,
Andreas

Hey man!

This is a discussion that has gone on (rather a lot) for quite some time now dude. Gonna lock this thread up to keep things a little tidier but feel free to discuss over in the following thread: 4k Filming
