Key to the matrix and gamma curve numbers used in the paint menu:

oEBU matrix is recommended, or ITU-709 preferred by BBC R&D. o Matrix off will give an acceptable but desaturated look.

o Standard Gamma curve 4 has a high initial gain, and is useful if going through a grading process during post production.

The lens mount is the standard 2/3” bayonet mount, and all the main manufacturers provide a range of HD lenses, in film style and EFP variants, plus several sets of primes. You can of course use SD lenses on HD cameras, and they’ll function perfectly well. It does seem a bit like buying a very expensive hi-fi system and using some cheap speakers though.

There is no particular problem with back focus on the ‘750 / 730, or the ‘F900. It’s a slightly more precise adjustment, because of the smaller circle of confusion of HD, but the principle is the same as SD.

A complete list of menu items is attached. The ops manual and volume 1 of the maintenance guide will tell you what each item does, but you may find the list useful to note down your preferred settings.

A suggestion is offered where something other than the factory preset will give good results.

Values in square brackets [ ] are suggestions that will give a set up appropriate for film transfer when using the pre-knee ‘fix’ option in the DCC page of the maintenance menu, which is available with software V2.0 onwards
