Channel 4 HD UK accepts RED

Havent seen this mentioned, as of March this year,
http://www.channel4.com/corporate/4producers/resources/documents/FullTechnicalRequirements.pdf

"1080-based tape formats HDCAM and HDCAM-SR2, D5-HD, and DVCPro-HD-100, are acceptable for acquisition, as are the Panavision ‘Genesis’, Arri D20, Dalsa, Thomson Viper and Red cameras."

It goes on to say that until 1080p slo mo camera is widely available it will accept 720p format for slo mo only.

I think I remember seeing this mentioned here some time ago. Good news though, none the less.

Duh, a broadcaster transmitting at maybe 10Mbps using MPEG2 will kindly accept footage shot at 288Mbps and five times the resolution - good to know :sarcasm:

BTW, does this mean Arri D21 or Phantom are not acceptable? Ahh...Poms writing technical requirements, LOL ....:clown2:
