Which Cinema Camera 6K resolutions crop the sensor?

PostSun Jul 21, 2024 11:02 pm

The webpage for the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K says it will:

"shoot up to 36 fps at 6048 x 4032 3:2 open gate or 60 fps at 6048 x 2520 2.4:1 and 60 fps at 4096 x 2160 4K DCI."

It goes on to say: "For higher frame rates you can window the sensor and shoot up to 100 fps at 2112 x 1184 Super 16."

Surely, as the BMCC6K only shoots RAW then all resolutions (other than 6K), including 60 fps at 4096 x 2160 4K DCI, window the sensor? Isn't that the nature of BRAW?

Or am I mistaken, is the 4096 x 2160 4K DCI downsampled from the full-frame sensor?

Thanks!

Yup. You're correct. All of them that aren't open-gate are windowed.

You can downsampling raw from full sensor without crop, with excepted of 12/17k cameras where a wwwrgb sensors allow to downsampling raw without crop
