Workflow for HD
OutputviaHD-SDI-WEISSCAMDigiMagorotherrecorders
The HD material recorded on the WEISSCAM DigiMAG can be exported via the HD-SDI interface
to any capture station that is compatible with the YCbCr 4:2:2 signal.
From there, the material can be further processed as usual.

The HD material recorded on the WEISSCAM DigiMag can also be transferred to a PC system via
IT interfaces (FireWire; Fibre Channel).
The material is then stored in a proprietary file format in individual folders, which are each named
according to their takes.
To open these files, colour-correct them if necessary and convert them into a desired file and
video format, we recommend using software products (2009 or higher) from IRIDAS.
Quick start guide for converting the file format:
IRIDASFramecyclerPro(2009)
Start the software.
Search for the sequence. If necessary, click "Desktop" at the bottom left to show the folder
structure. (The selection is selected or deselected using "Desktop".)
Select the folder. The files in it are displayed on the right as thumbnails.
Select the sequence. Hover the cursor over a thumbnail, then click the plus symbol that appears
and load the sequence into the timeline. Click "Desktop" again to close the desktop selection.
Colour correction/grading. Click "Global Grading" (located above the timeline on the right) to
open the Grading Tool window.
Adjust the contrast, brightness, hue and offset as desired using the various faders.
Render. Click the "Render" button at the bottom centre to call up the Render window. (You can
use it to select or deselect the Render window.)
Configure settings. In the Render window, use the tabs and the corresponding drop-down
menus to select the desired format.
Path and file name. Single-clicking "Render" in the Render window opens a window with the
file structure. Here, specify the path and the desired filename.
Start rendering. To do so, click "Render" at the bottom right in the Render window with the file
structure.
