Pulldown “On”. The nanoFlash should display “1080pd23” (for pulldown) as the incoming format.
The full bit rate quality is applied to the 23.98 frames per second.
A few cameras will actually output 1080p23.98, in which case the pulldown removal is not needed.
Note: Be aware that most cameras, when placed into color bar mode or with status display output
turned on, do not output a pulldown. In this case nanoFlash will not lock to the signal. Also, be sure
to turn Video->Remove 3:2 Pulldown “Off” in the nanoFlash menu if the camera output does not
contain a pulldown!
> Do not use this mode in combination with Pre-Record Buffer (System->PreBuffer), Time-
Lapse, Crank, or 720p60/50 to 30/25.
Recording 720p23.98
Many cameras, such as the Panasonic HDX-900 and the Sony EX3, when set internally to
720p23.98, output as 720p59.94 (with a pulldown). To record on the nanoFlash as 720p23.98 with
the original 23.98 frames per second, set Video->Remove 3:2 Pulldown “On”. The nanoFlash should
display “720pd23” (for pulldown) as the incoming format. The full bit rate quality is applied to the
23.98 frames per second.
Note: Be aware that most cameras, when placed into color bar mode, do not output a pulldown. In
this case nanoFlash will not lock to the signal. Also, be sure to turn Video->Remove 3:2 Pulldown
“Off” in the nanoFlash menu if the camera output does not contain a pulldown!
> Do not use this mode in combination with Pre-Record Buffer (System->PreBuffer), Time-
Lapse, Crank, or 720p60/50 to 30/25.
Recording 720p29.97 / 720p25
Many cameras, such as the Panasonic HDX-900 and the Sony EX3, when set internally to 720p29.97
or 720p25, output as 720p59.94 or 720p50 (by duplicating every frame). To record on the nanoFlash
as 720p29.97 or 720p25 with the original 29.97 or 25 frames per second, set Video->720p60/50 to
720p30/25 “On”. The nanoFlash should display “720h29” or “720h25” (for half-rate) as the incoming
format. The full bit rate quality is applied to the 29.97 / 25 frames per second.
> Do not use this mode in combination with Pre-Record Buffer (System->PreBuffer), Time-
Lapse, Crank, or 3:2 Pulldown Removal.
Recording OverCrank
Overcranking allows for slow motion effect. Overcranking on the nanoFlash is completely
independent of any crank settings on the camera, if even set on the camera.
Here are some common examples for overcranking:
For
2.5x slow motion
, 720p24:
> set camera to 720p60
> On nanoFlash, in Video->Crank, set checkbox “On”
> On nanoFlash, in Video->Crank, set Record Rate (1
st
setting) to 24
> On nanoFlash, in Video->Crank, set Crank Rate (2nd setting) to 60
For
2x slow motion
, 720p24:
> set camera to 720p60
nanoFlash
34
