4K studio vs PCC 4K or 6K - Low light/ high contrast

PostTue Oct 04, 2022 6:17 pm

Given that the sensors are so similar, I'm wondering if the 4K Studio camera would be any better at capturing high contrast/ poorly lit content. [Imagine actors on a stage with uneven lighting. One performer might by highly lit and the next one over is 2 stops darker. Or the background set is very dim compared to actors downstage.] The PCCs don't have a whole lot of adjustability for this live during the event whereas the Studio camera appears to have a lot more capability in this respect. I guess I'm looking for comments about two questions.

A) Is the Studio camera better for on the fly-live images than the PCC? (Does the onboard color system help us get a better image for "broadcast"?)

B) Is the Studio camera any better wrt to the captured content? Will we have more to work with in post to adjust for contrast issues?
