Any one any views of Yo Yotta ? Specifically quality and speed of Full debeyer decode with Red Rocket and with our Red Rocket.

I wasn't able to get the RMD to refresh from within Yoyo which was a deal breaker for me when I tried the demo. I didn't make note of the debayer speed with my RR unfortunately. Scratch Lab allows you to update the RMD at any time which is valuable if for example your DP wants to make grading changes in RCX-Pro after you've already completed syncing audio but not yet rendered out that roll. As well I couldn't setup different burn-in info for multiple destination formats. On my last job the director / producer H.264 dailies needed different burn-ins than did the editorial DNxHD dailies.

The demo is fully functional but has a watermark on the output if you want to try it out.

I had a chance to use it a bit in my last job. Personally, I'd much rather use Scratch Lab. YoYo has some good functionality, but I found the interface cryptic (which is NOT good in my book...) and there was too much it didn't do as well as I would have liked, including conforming r3d from EDLs. And not being able to media manage with YoYo is another huge omission IMHO. I am sure that continued development will address some of the issues I had, but today I'm sticking with Scratch.

BTW, I'm pretty sure (but not positive) that debayer is handled by RED SDK in YoYo, so it's performance, while not inhibited by any overly demanding UI, is going to be on par with most others.
