The AU-EVA1 is a cinema camera recorder, featuring a newly developed super 35mm sized
imager with 5.7K resolution, and can record in several formats and compression, offering up to
10-bit 4:2:2 even in 4K. The EVA1 contains V-Log/V-Gamut capture to deliver high dynamic range
and a broad color gamut.
1-1. Super 35mm sized imager with 5.7K resolution
The new 17:9 imager (5720 x 3016 active pixels) achieves 2000 horizontal TV lines.
1-2. Active area
The EVA1 uses two different areas on its imager for capturing, depending on frame rate in variable
frame rate (VFR) record mode. The areas, called S35 and 4/3 areas can be changed with the
SENSOR MODE menu item.

NOTE:
When an SD memory card is mounted into the unit, the EVA1 detects its manufacturer's rated write
speed, and displays an “INCOMPATIBLE CARD” message if that write speed is not fast enough
for the chosen recording format. See Figure1 below. Recording is still available even with this
warning message but a sudden stop of the recording or other events may occur. To avoid issue,
use only SD memory cards that meet the required consistent write speeds as noted on the chart
above.

the codec selected on the camera.
