Just thought I would throw this idea out there...but it would be awesome to have a touchscreen remote interface through the ipad to control the epic/scarlet brains. We already have Redmote to handle those duties..but perhaps Red could develop the software and sell it as an app so that there would be some roi for developing it. just thinking out loud here.

bad idea? or good idea?
thoughts?
 
It would be excellent if someone developed an Android app so that I can use my HTC Desire as a wireless viewer... although I'm sure that there may be licensing issues etc thats going to prevent that

Sounds brilliant. Is it going to use Bluetooth or is the REDMote or camera going to act as an ad-hoc wireless network?

And would it be too crazy to suggest having a virtual follow focus and zoom wheel? I'm guessing that changing the aperture would be fairly simple to implement, but focus and zoom would be awesome.
 
Most excellent.. adds another reason to get an iPad. Will this be a full feature Redmote, replacing the need for a Redmote?

Would be great to use in conjunction with h264 mod, and have a split screen redmote and viewing monitor. Portriant mode, bottom half redmote, top half mointor. Landscape mode, fullscreen monitor.

I'm also a programmer, getting into iPad development, would love to help out in the iPad field.

Red Team strikes again!! ;~)

Now if I could just make up my mind in which iPad would be better, the WiFi or WiFi + 3G? I give a 3G one as a gift to my buddy, but He said that the WiFi is pretty sweet and did not connected the 3G yet, suggestions?

3G sounds like the better choice. It is always there if you need it. You don't have to use it.

That is what I have been thinking, but I have been hearing horror stories of terrible coverage and much slower service then with WiFi.

Meaning that 3G is even worst in LA or that you do have to use the 3G do to no Wi-Fi service?

Keep in mind the 3G iPad also has WiFi. Here in San Diego 3G coverage is great. Going up the 405 in the OC it is pretty bad though. Really depends on where you are. 3G is definitely slower then WiFi but being able to get online anywhere makes it indispensable for me.

Fantastic idea Tonaci, especially as I thought of it first and posted it on the thread "Can Ipad be a monitor for RED" on the 9th of April. If you get any commission or accolades for this idea.... shame on you.

I guess 3G then ;~)
 
3G or not to 3G

3G or not to 3G

Ketch,
I was on the fence too. Was originally planning on getting the WiFi version, then held out for 3G availability.
The wait was well worth it!
Already I have been on location numerous times where a WiFi spot was either unavailable or required a log in / passwords - all of that avoided by having the 3G compatibility. The markup in price has already paid for itself in convenience.

Another advantage of the 3G is the GPS capability it brings to the iPad - (although I have not yet used that feature).

So far, I have had a very good experience with the unit. Many apps that I use on location such as Helios are much more readable than on the iTouch. pCAM will need an upgrade to sharpen the image - but it works fine.
 
I'm assuming that any iPod/iPad/iPhone app will use the camera's wifi connection for a direct connection, rather than the phone company's network. If not, the lag in response times is going to make the thing useless. Not to mention the abysmal reliability of the ATT network. If we have ti reeky on that, the app would be worse than useless.
