  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Red One connector "what is what"

Nick,

the employees at RED everybody have their abilities and know what they're doing - at least those who post on the forum.

Still I am with you or the other people you might have asked, and don't get why especially those connectors which are not difficult have been exchanged to absolutely non-standard and non-available, while the weak ones (USB and HDMI) are left to standard. Weird.
But they exchanged the display connectors to Lemo instead of the prior Hirose, thats a major improvement I believe.

What about the other half ? I don't remember any question....

But its not a real problem, its a real adapter.
Was thinking of drilling the right plate and soldering real BNCs in there.
I'm hopeful there might be enough space in there. Think of some nice Canare BNCs in there...

Yeah I know, warranty and stuff, I hear you. But still, looks like sturdy, not ?

Jarred, a question: if I were to unscrew just a few screws, not dismounting the unit (!) - would it harm the warranty ? Just have another idea. Putting something else on and putting screws back in, just to use the mounting on the cam (permanently, not via a stud or noga). Like the focus hook - I think a case screw has to be unscrewed, correct ?

We supply adaptors cables ..... and can certainly supply spares if you need them.

When its freezing cold or wet, those four compact, positive lock, push pull connectors that replace BNC's might just be seen in an entirely different light :matrix:

Two words Global Warming! Lets get some real bnc connectors on there huh!
 
Adaptors = signal loss

It's the law. (of physics)

Red One has some wacky connectors that were obviously spec'ed by people who have never been on a film set. They are certainly small and nice-looking. Usable? Not really.

Yes, dolly grips DO trash cables and connectors - in my experience about one per shoot week. We DO need to use alternative power sources - whether it's motion control rigs, flight mounts, remote heads, whatever. I DO NOT look forward to the numerous calls to specialty equipment suppliers asking if they support the silly Red connections. (nor to being the one responsible when their home-made workarounds blow up the camera).

The choice of non-standard connectors has taken much away from Red's universal acceptance in the production world.

I can only hope the Red Two is on the drawing boards, which will be compatible with existing standards.

Being revolutionary should not mean being incompatible.
 
HDMI with sound?

HDMI with sound?

I tried to search the forum, but could not find any answer: Do the HDMI preview carry sound as well? If not, is there any plans for it in the future? It would be an effective way to make sure there would be sound at the director´s monitor.

Not at the moment Istfan.
 
Just get the ET video breakout box... Or the Toys4Red video AND audio breakout... Oh and BTW, we used the standard Red tiny connectors on the last shoot and they were perferct. We tied them up on the top bars with plastic collars (the mini ones like the cops use for handcuffing 20 guys at once) to make sure it didn't get pulled off badly, and kitchiiing! No assle...
