LumaForge presentation from Atomos' Jeremy Young at NAB 2018:

Excerpts:
- Capturing 12 bit from Japanese cameras, will improve over time.
- 16bit capable, capable of even more as it is bit independent, resolution independent, frame rate independent.
- Two flavas: RAW (DataRate less than ProRes 422) and RAW HQ (DataRate less than ProRes 4444.)
- Variable DataRate, lower if properly exposed image, higher if noisy sensor output.
- Faster rendering times than real time (up to x4.)
- Not a Mastering format, will be Mastering to ProRes4444. Indeed there is no ProRes RAW option for Export/Share in FCPX 10.4.1. Which brings the question: what about VFX roundtrips?
- Atomos devices screens up to 10.5 stops 1500 nits HDR high brights, LUT capable, RAW to normal conversion.
- Atomos devices support input up to 15 Stops, 12 bit RGB (will support higher bits), up to 5.7K (at 30fps?), 4K at 60fps, up to 240fps (at 2K), 12Gb/s SDI, Camera Data (Camera, F-Stop, ISO, Shutter, Lens, Iris, WB, ND.)
- Selected Atomos devices are HDMI RAW capable - ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO HDMI RAW OUTPUT FROM ANY CAMERA AT THIS TIME - SDI ONLY. Which manufacturer will announce HDMI RAW capable first?
- "In HDR it looks phenomenal". Evidently that's the push: ProRes RAW the to-go solution for HDR production.
- Real performance with FCPX: PIP 5 simultaneous streams of 6K, 4K (x3), 2K with mixed original frame rate 24p to 240p. Do you need an iMac Pro for that?
