Protake brings you the shooting experience of a professional movie camera on mobile devices.
Whether you are shooting vlogs, advertisements or film and television works, you can benefit from Protake's professional functions, which include:
# [New Feature] Wi-Fi Network Video Monitoring
· In the landscape mode of both "Automatic" and "Professional" modes, you can turn on the new Wi-Fi network video monitoring system.
· You no longer need to buy expensive wireless video transmission accessories! With just some iPhones and iPads, you can set up a large on-site monitoring network.
· You can transmit video from 1 "camera" to 4 "monitors" (yes, we are talking about iPhones and iPads).
· You can see the footage of up to 4 "cameras" on 1 "monitor".
· You can start and stop the recording of all "cameras" wirelessly.
· You can even monitor HDR and SDR footage simultaneously on one screen.
· This is a full-process mobile recording and monitoring experience never seen before.
· This experience is presented to you by Protake.
# Modes
· "Automatic" mode: This mode is optimized for vloggers and online video shooters. You can easily operate with one hand and also use our movie color grading package and professional composition assistance tools.
· "Professional" mode: This mode is for professional video shooters. All camera data and control buttons are placed on the interface very scientifically. The functions you want to use most are always in sight.
· "Dual Camera" mode: Record videos with two cameras simultaneously - front + rear, telephoto + ultra-wide... various combinations. You can choose to record in a single video file in "Picture-in-Picture" mode or record them separately into two files.
· "Portrait" mode: Thanks to the LiDAR sensors on iPhone Pro and iPad Pro and the powerful processors of these devices, you can now shoot "Portrait Mode Videos" with a real-time blurred background.
# Colors
· LOG: This is not just a genuine LOG curve. We have strictly matched the colors of mobile devices with the industry standard of the film industry - ALEXA Log C. Besides having an extraordinary dynamic range, colorists can easily apply the color grading schemes prepared for ALEXA movie cameras to the video footage shot on mobile phones.
· Movie Color Grading Package: We have prepared a whole package of color grading schemes for video creators and divided them into several categories: daily style, film simulation (classic movie films of Kodak and Fujifilm), movie style (Hollywood blockbusters and independent masterpieces), and ALEXA style.
# Auxiliary Functions
· Dropped Frame Notification: Mobile devices are not designed as professional movie cameras, so if dropped frames occur, you need to know immediately.
· Monitoring Tools: Waveform, RGB Scopes, Histogram, RGB Histogram, Volume Meter.
· Composition Assistance: Aspect Ratio, Safe Area, Rule of Thirds, Center Indicator, Horizontal Indicator.
· Exposure Assistance: Zebra Stripes, False Color, Exposure Compensation, Auto Exposure.
· Focus Assistance: Focus Peaking and Auto Focus.
· Recording Notification: Recording Beep, Recording Flash, Volume Button Recording.
· Zoom and Focus: A-B Points.
# Data
· Frame Rate Consistency: Mobile devices usually do not have perfect frame rate control and are prone to producing non-standard variable frame rates (VFR). We fundamentally solve this problem and make the video have a strict consistent frame rate: 24, 25, 30, 60, 120, etc.
· File Naming: All files recorded by Protake have industry-standard file names: camera number + reel number + clip number + suffix. It looks something like "A001C00203_200412_IR8J.MOV". Does it feel familiar?
· Metadata: Everything that happens on set, including ISO, shutter angle, white balance, lens, connected accessories, geographical information, etc., will be well recorded in the metadata of the file.
· Timecode: We provide you with two options - Free Run and Run While Recording. This can be fully compatible with your professional movie camera.
