Page 17 Camera Assistant will access a few menus to define the project frame rate, monitor frame lines and time code format. On the set, Genesis is ready to record as soon as it is turned on and black balanced. The camera’s LCD screen allows for quick access to basic functions like shutter angle, film speed, film type or variable speed.
Page 18 Genesis and in that mode the VTR is seamlessly controlled and configured by the camera. You also have the option to record the Genesis 4:4:4 Dual Link HD- SDI outputs to a Solid State Recorder, a separate hard drive, or other storage solutions.
Page 19 Most American Genesis features have been shot at 23.98 fps. This allows for on-set playback of down-converted NTSC video with sync sound. Most US Genesis TV is shot at 23.98 fps, while European and Australian TV are shot at 25 fps.
Page 20 The important thing to remember is the ratio of information. 2.8 Variable speed Genesis cameras can shoot and record at any fixed speed from 1 to 50 fps. However, the camera does not ramp between speeds. The SRW-1 VTR does not record 4:4:4 at speeds over 29.97 fps. In order to accommodate the immense amount of data generated at speeds of 30 fps and above, the camera must be switched to 4:2:2.

180 (with twice the motion blur). 2.12 Color reference The Genesis does not use white balance, so it is not necessary to shoot a white card for proper operation, as with video cameras. Instead the director of photography chooses whether the Genesis is set for “Tungsten”, “Daylight”...
Page 22 Panalog also preserves Genesis’ wide color gamut, a color space that is close to that of film. Because of its wide latitude, the Panalog video output will not be properly displayed on a video monitor.

Page 67 6.1 The SRW-1 The Sony SRW-1 is a compact VTR (video tape recorder) that can be connected either on the top or on the back of the Genesis camera, in configurations that evoke a film magazine on a Panaflex camera. The SRW-1 records in the HDCAM SR format, and uses HDCAM SR tapes.
Page 68 Some crews prefer this configuration because it helps balance the weight of the lens. This configuration is also often chosen for hand- held. or on top of the Genesis Note that each configuration implies a different camera handle. chapter 8...
Page 69 At present, the SRW-1 will not record variable speed correctly when separated from the Genesis camera. Note that the SRW-5000 VTR does not playback HQ, but only SQ. So you must use either the SRW-1 & SRPC (VTR & Toaster) configuration, or the Sony SRW-5800 VTR, to playback recordings made in HQ mode.
Page 70 6.3 VTR connectors & switches The SRW-1 connectors & switches are located at the back when the VTR is on top of the Genesis, and on the bottom when the VTR is mounted on the back of the camera. CTRL PANEL Lemo connector Connects the SRW-1 VTR to the SRWC control panel unit (with LCD screen and VTR controls).
Page 71 POWER ON/OFF Switch The VTR takes about 10 seconds to initialize after power ON. When VTR is connected to Genesis camera body, the camera POWER switch will control both the camera and VTR. In other words, you must flip 2 switches (Camera and VTR POWER ON) to turn VTR on.

Page 131: Introduction To Viewfinder Menus
We now turn to the full-page menus seen on the Viewfinder outputs of the camera, which we will refer to as VF menus for short. Most menus are for Panavision technician use and diagnosis. As detailed in chapters 13-15, only a dozen menus are actually used by the Camera Assistant, most of them during prep.
Page 132 12.2 The 7 Viewfinder Menus You will only need to access a few VF menu pages to use the Genesis. During prep, you will use several OPERATION pages to set up the camera for the shoot, notably to define monitor frame lines.

Page 143 – Panavision Genesis Manual v1.3 13.5 OPERATION menu O4 <BOX CURSOR> The BOX CURSOR page is where you define the frame lines for 2.40 widescreen, 1.85 feature and other formats The following numbers are in percentages: H-POSI defines horizontal position. The default is 50%, or mid-way V-POSI defines the vertical position.
Page 144 Again, BOX CURSOR is used to set Frame lines. Here are some common settings (H and V positions are always 50) for safe action and full aperture. Genesis full aperture is approximately equivalent to Super-35 film. Note: there are 5 thumbwheel "clicks" (intervals) between each percentage integer.
Page 145 – Panavision Genesis Manual v1.3 13.7 OPERATION menu O5 <ASPECT MASK> This page allows you to set a transparent MASK to isolate the desired ASPECT ratio on the image. This feature is especially useful for control of the MONITOR output, to help isolate the frame for the director.

The SRW-1 can however record a variable speed of S30PsF The 2 variable speed 4:4:4 ranges are: S29.97PsF (S stands for “Selectable”).
Page 153 29.97 fps (S59.94 or S60), because these high data rates don’t allow for 444. Panavision does not recommend using 422 when shooting 29.97 fps or less, even when the intended release will be 422. The 4:2:2 YCbCr sampling format is associated with the following fixed frame rates: 23.98PsF ( 23.98 fps Progressive Scan segmented Frame)
Page 154 MULTI FORMAT page, with an S prefix. Setting the variable speed involves 2 parts: 1. You SET FORMAT the Genesis to a Selectable speed range that corresponds to the fixed speed playback. The rule to remember is that fixed speeds with decimal points require Selectable speed settings with decimal points.
Page 155 A few seconds later, the camera and VTR will automatically change formats 6. CURRENT will then display the new format When the SRW-1 VTR is attached to the Genesis, there is no need to change the format on the VTR, as it will automatically follow the camera setting.

Page 223 400 and 640. As with film, Exposure Index is an artistic decision, and Panavision encourages directors of photography to shoot their own tests to determine the Genesis Exposure Index. If your final product will be a film print, Panavision recommends doing some test film recording as part of your tests, to see the impact of your exposure choices on the entire post-production chain.
Page 224 Practically speaking, the CCD’s linear response means that you get shadow details with the Genesis that you don’t get with film, but you must also be more attentive to over-exposure with Genesis than you would be with film.
Page 225 CCD values to non-linear 10bit log values 22.7 Panalog conversion of 14 bit lin to 10 bit log Panavision developed a transfer curve, Panalog, to transform the 14 bit lin into a 10 bit quasi-log (or non-linear) signal. Log signals are often used in post-production as a means of using fewer bits to convey the same perceptual information as a lin signal.
Page 226 Panalog is not necessarily what you will get in the final product. The Genesis camera signal is transformed by the Panalog transfer curve to maximize the latitude of the image for subsequent output to 35 mm film. This extended range will not display properly on a video monitor: the image may appear underexposed, low contrast and/or desaturated.
Page 227 Panavision Genesis Manual v1.3 22.10 Panavision Genesis Display Processor As noted above, the Panalog transfer curve changes the Genesis ouput signal to obtain maximum latitude. Some DPs simply change the on-set monitor settings to get a rough feeling for the final image.
Page 228 22.11 Light meters, Monitors and Waveforms Each cinematographer has his or her own approach to evaluating exposure on a Genesis project, using a combination of different tools: light meters, HD video monitors and waveform monitors. Some will rely on the light meter, especially when there is no quality video monitoring available, for example when shooting second unit.
Page 229 – Panavision Genesis Manual v1.3 22.12 Panalog white, middle gray and black waveform values A simple image with white, middle gray, and black elements illustrates Panalog waveform values: WHITE MIDDLE GRAY BLACK Note that the waveform vertical scale is in percentages NOT voltage.
Page 230 When the Genesis is severely over-exposed (above 100% on the waveform), the whites will be clipped and will lose all detail. This is one rationale for rating the Genesis at 640 EI rather than 500: by slightly underexposing, you are giving even more headroom to the signal.
Page 231 Panavision Genesis Manual v1.3 22.15 Exposure and GAIN Increasing the GAIN of the Genesis camera is roughly equivalent to push processing film, you get more apparent sensitivity but with increased noise. When you change the GAIN you are not making the camera more sensitive, but simply amplifying the signal.
