not transcoding and using r3d's directly for a 30 sec commercial is one thing, doing it for Television or features with vast amounts of TB's is prob not that easy:)
I think a trancode/prores/dnx module is still a good idea.

Scrolled down to see the image before reading, and nearly fell off my chair...
Think that means I would buy one.

100 % agree it is pro res that makes Alexa so great for a real mix of productions if RED can offer this module then he Epic truly would be the best camera on the market.

Blown up any Alexa 4444 c log footage lately?, even just a hair to rotate the frame a hair...maybe did a little stabilization? Well, To the trained eye its pretty disappointing, actually it sucks . ProRes is a distribution codec. Dont shoot with it. Out of respect to the art of cinematography stop selling people on it as viable acquisition codec. It just lowers the rental value of this great camera system.
If you want to shoot pro res get a C300.

I bet it's coming... but probably not cheap and will be able to do more than anything other can do...

I just hope it has a D- Tap...

It's not that bad -- ProRes 4444 is something like 330 Mbps I think, close to HDCAM-SR 4:2:2 (440 Mbps), which was the most common acquisition format for dramatic TV series shooting digitally (on the Genesis and F35) until the Alexa came along. I just shot a whole season of "Smash" in ProRes 4444 and color-corrected it in a D.I. suite on a 40' screen and didn't have any problems. But then, I don't do much blowing up and stabilizing. Obviously if one were going to do a lot of image resizing, a higher resolution image like from a Red would be better.

The quality of blowups can vary greatly, depending on the engine being used. If you're trying to create blowups on an Avid, well then, yes, it's going to suck. If, however, you use the scaling engine in, say, Resolve or Baselight, the results will be quite a bit better. On those platforms, sizing changes up to about 10% are pretty seamless, and still acceptable even larger than that.

I also really still want this module, also just because of turn around times. Just want ready to go 1920x1080 files
sometimes and would be great if red would make this
module, a lot of people will still want it!
