Dylan Macleod, CSC, has done a great comparison infrared test between the original Mysterium and Mysterium-X sensors. As you can see IR contamination is much less on the Mysterium-X sensor. The jacket is a synthetic black material and was lit with a 2K tungsten light. Both cameras had an ND 1.2 in front of the lens. Original post here…
Scott Webster from Rocket Rentals New Zealand has just posted a bunch of Mysterium-X R3D files for anyone to download and play with in Redcine-X. You can download the latest version of Redcine-X here (free): www.reduser.net/539913
