Proxy Module...

[M. Bergeron]

And now that we have lots of options for slow motion, how are these recorders handling it?

I think they have no way of managing more than 60fps... maybe I'm wrong but If Red makes a module it would tap right into the 120fps stream (or more) and make properly slowed down h264 or Prores files.

... haven't heard that the module will do anything but the project frame rate.

[Lauri Kettunen]

we really need a realtime HD wireless video module

+1

An HD wireless module that together with the RedMote Pro provided one with proper wireless control of the camera say in the range of 0 to 50m or 0 to 100m would be highly useful.

Is a proxy module still in the works for Epic?

[Ben Roper]

I'm interested in this too..... And so, I presume, are most of camera-loving humanity...

What's the point once playback is enabled in-camera?

[Tim Morten]

Some benefits:
(1) Wireless monitoring without needing a Teradeck... director's monitor, or if the latency is low enough, perhaps even useful for pulling focus
(2) Instant h.264 dailies viewable on a variety of devices (including iPads), and streamable remotely, which can be handed off for review without involving the master media
(3) Facilitates lower-end offline workflows and R3D-incompatible workflows thanks to the perfect h.264 proxy, for those with such needs

Cost competetive with Teradeck, integrated into the camera body, and presumably powered directly with no need for separate dtaps... easily worth $2500 from where I sit.

Wifi streaming, is not pointless... think wireless video to the directors iPad, laptop or via internet from second unit to base camp etc. the h.246 capture onto memory card is more of a simple way of getting the shots of the camera lowress and instantly playable on any computer, and it's the codec being streamed. There is one draw back an that is as mentioned here H.246 is not editable with out lagging over cuts in the, for example FCP timeline due to it's high goop frame numbers. Proress on the cards and H.246 for streaming would be the bomb. I would pay 3 times the amount for that....

We need this module so bad for our milo I could cry. So please RED make this and the quad battery thing available and I have no further requests... for at least a few days :)

Agreed. I want this setup so bad. Would be the best lightweight steadicam setup.

It did not show on the Red store and when will be available ?

RED is increasing the workflow flexibility on Epic and Scarlet with Proxy Modules… the first of which is an H.264 Module.

This module encodes a 1080P stream (high quality scale from full frame) and records to Compact Flash in a rear module. The module also offers secure password protected streaming over dedicated WiFi and ethernet to iPhones, iPads, laptops as well as broadcast to the internet.

This will be beneficial for on set viewing, instant dailies, offline editing, easy file transfer to remote locations, dailies review and collaboration services with such companies as Pix, or live broadcasting for realtime media distribution.

The modules will also support full metadata and XML for editorial.

Availability will be September 2010 and the price will be $2500.
