When comparing the ProRes video recording capabilities of the iPad Pro to Samsung tablets, there are several key differences and similarities to consider:
iPad Pro ProRes Video Recording
- Availability: The iPad Pro, specifically models with the M2 chip, supports ProRes video recording. However, unlike iPhones, this capability is only accessible through third-party apps like FiLMiC Pro, as the native Camera app does not currently support it[1][7].
- Resolution and Frame Rate: The iPad Pro can record 4K video, but the specifics of frame rates for ProRes are not detailed in the native app, as it requires third-party software to function[6].
- External Storage: While the iPad Pro does not require external storage for ProRes recording like some iPhone models, using external storage can be beneficial for managing large file sizes[3].
Samsung Tablets ProRes Video Recording
- Availability: Samsung tablets do not natively support ProRes video recording. ProRes is primarily associated with Apple devices, and Samsung's tablets do not offer this feature directly[3].
- Video Recording Capabilities: Samsung tablets like the Galaxy Tab S series can record video, but they are limited to standard formats and resolutions. For example, they typically support up to 30 fps video recording, unlike some Samsung phones that can record at higher frame rates[8].
- External Storage: Samsung tablets support expandable storage via microSD cards, which can be useful for storing large video files. However, they do not support ProRes recording directly onto external devices like some iPhones do with USB-C SSDs[5].
In summary, the iPad Pro offers ProRes video recording through third-party apps, while Samsung tablets do not support ProRes recording at all. The iPad Pro's ability to record in ProRes, even if limited to third-party apps, makes it more suitable for professional video applications compared to Samsung tablets. However, Samsung tablets are versatile devices with strong multimedia capabilities, including screen recording features that are not directly comparable to ProRes video recording[2][5].
