Hello,
During another discussion something interesting came up.
What is the actual filesize on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera when recording RAW?
I wish to have a factor where I can multiply my typical project size.
How much SSD space (without offloading) do I need if a project is normally 20GB to record per day on a 5d MarkII with 1080p30?
I can calculate with the datasize per minute, but I'm not sure if this is the true filesize:
5d mk2 has around 38 megabits / second = 4.75 Megabytes per second
BCC has around 114 Megabytes per second
So do I need the 24fold, which is a plain 500GB SSD?
Ok 410.6 Gigabytes per hour is a lot.. but typically not more is recorded anyways for my type of work.
Surely I will carry at least 2-3 times of what is typically needed.
Anyway it makes sense to have that factor IMHO.
Please correct.
Thank you.
Cheers,
John
