New, "low cost" Baselight One doesn't require RedRocket to work with R3D.

An exerpt from FilmLight announcement:
"A major benefit of Baselight One is it's ability to work directly with native raw footage, with or without optional 3rd party decoding accelerator hardware"

price?

 

[Brandon J.F.]

price?

<$50,000 last I heard.

 

[Dave Blackham]

So what can it do that Resolve cant do ? Serious question ?

 

[Phil Holland]

I miss using Baselight. The need to get that plugin into Adobe-land.

Can you name a package that NEEDS a Red Rocket to decode R3Ds?

You really don't know or you just kidding?
We are talking full resolution real time decoding without RR here in a standard package!

Four years ago I paid $250,000 for a system, that was way less capable.

Jake, BL has always been able to work with red footage natively without the need of a RR card. We happen to have two on the system and they do speed up thing considerably.

But I dont think the new BL1 is capable of decoding red footage in realtime in its highest resolutions, specially EPIC stuff. Hopefully ill be proven wrong.

 

[Frank Cueto]

They are coming out with a new BL1 that doesnt include storage, this new system is supposed to be cheaper.

Big claim. Back it up.

 

[Frank Cueto]

The reason I dont believe it will do realtime decoding in even half good is because of their hardware. FL has migrated to heavy use of the GPU and only use cpu power for debayering raw formats. IF they had systems built with the latest E5s on a dual cpu configuration then maybe, but thats not what they build.

Are you sure you haven't just read too much into it? I work with ~native~ R3Ds all the time in Premiere and Resolve on my MBP. What I don't do is work at ~native resolution~.

Thanks. I´ve read both of the press releases twice and no mention of full res R3D decode.

To me that just means that the systems prerenders to a cache in the BG and once its done prerendering its capable of realtime playback.

Franky.
I encourage you to try to explain the excerpt I provided other than what I read into it. As Frederic already pointed out, ANY system doesn't Require RR to work with R3D. But until now, EVERY system required RR for full quality real time debayer. As you know Baselight uses purpose built hardware and custom OS. That is the difference... Otherwise, this is completely pointless statement made by FilmLight.

BL had it for over a year already in V4.3. FilmMaster had it for three.

If you just relax a bit and wait till Monday, I will, first thing in the morning
