So Red can move a clean room to NAB for comunication purpose,
but need all that non sense logistic by sending back tousands of cameras to US for an upgrade.
Not really environmentally friendly, when thinking about the carbon print cost of such a global process.
Anyway I'm certain there is good reason for that, it still puzzle me thought.

Maybe it was just an elaborate piece of theatre?

There is also the "Made in the USA" factor :)

Is there any word on actual images? People are supposedly upgrading, but with no color science, how are they actually shooting anything?

Well since they're shooting RAW I imagine these are people with projects that can use preliminary calibration for the next few weeks/months for their dailies and then will use the final colorspace for their deliverables. If you're shooting a documentary right now you might not need to grade for over a year.

No one actually has Dragon sensors in their cameras. That display at NAB was all for show. They weren't anyone's working cameras and were just from Red's own stock of Epic-X MX bodies that are now Epic-X Dragon bodies that they'll sell when the color science and firmware is ready. People that have pre-ordered have done just that, pre-ordered and are now waiting.
