  • 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 :)

What is Build 16?

This sounds great. Thanks Jim. Thanks guys.

Vacation on a tropical island would be in order now. :-)
I doubt the crew would mind.

I highly doubt everyone who comes into work sits down at their desk and ponders: "So do I program or put together a camera today? ..."
If the same guy was taking my order, who put the camera together, who programmed the firmware who designed the lenses who balanced the budget were the only people there - how could everything be of the up most quality? I'm by no means ranting, it's just interesting how we think that coming out with a new firmware means time otherwise could have been spent on getting those cameras out.

Looking forward to seeing what this new build has to offer. :o)

I think its pretty obvious its not a one man band, we have seen RED work from all sides nicely. After NAB I was very impressed on how advanced they are and made me feel good to be a customer. :)

But I do think its a collaborative work between a lot of talented people. In these terms, I think development in programming has a lot to do with the camera! If there is no camera what are the programmers gonna work on? If you check out the schedule, you'll see that orders are near (or past) the 5.000. So probably only 35% of red customers are gonna be able to try the build developments TODAY.

Dont get me wrong, I am really excited about this! I love the fact that the camera I bought a few months ago has become even better even before I get it! But as a collaborative work I think this is, it would be nice to hear this kind of developments in the camera building process. Of course I know it's hard, I know it depends on third party part providers, I know red is new, I totally understand, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. My point is that its frustrating to see new developments in the camera and not being able to try it, that's all.

Still patiently waiting...;)
 
Would be curious for an update on the SDK if you have the time, information and inclination.

Well done on the new build.

Cheers,


Ed
 
Look forward to 16! Been working with 15 all week and its as solid as they come but 16 sounds like it will break grounds. I would like my build 1781 to ship with 16 ;) ...Good luck RED with the new firmware release and when you do so...take a break!

Best

Jim,

Any chance for higher framerates in 4K mode? Thanks.

I wouldn't count on an increase in the near future...

Thank you Jim ...Dangerous Mind... Holly F*..%#
So...thinking in Vacation mail me I will produce some nice entertaining here in Brazil for you and RED TEAM.
Besides this Congratulation to ALL of you.

How about in the not-so-distant future? Seriously... any chance of getting 60fps at 4K anytime in the future?
 
Very interesting. My excitement is only exceeded by my technical curiosity. I'd guess that Evin's assertion is the most accurate, but I'd love to hear some details - even vague ones - on what's going on under the hood here. A pre-compression curve and a compression-aware noise reduction [on the post side] seems the most obvious.

It'll be interesting to re-learn the camera. Looking forward to it.

While it might be easy to implement on the Software side, I'm sure that changing the aperature 60 times per second would quickly wear out any lens.

Martin, that would be the electronic shutter changing, not the iris ;)
And as long as RED has the "inferior" electronic shutter there are no mechanical parts involved.

Ikke sant?
 
Amazing to see what the RED team has accomplished in a mere 8 months. Absolutely unheard of in this industry to pass that knowledge and upgrade on to the customer that fast...for free. 2009 is going to be freakin' insane!
 
I'm feeling the same as Brooke. Torn between nerdery and greed to start using it.

Sounds great - - - speaking of sound, anything new happening on the phantom power front with Build 16?

Subtract Ch2 from Ch1 on the mixer and feed mike in to the Ch1

This way you cancel the noise in the Ch1 with phantom power on.

Try it it works.

Joda ;)

That of course would lead to some interesting effects on shots with a fair amount of motion... Might be the new hot thing for pop promos?

Another thought: since the recording of the image is completely electronic, couldn't it be posibble to record multiple exposures at the same time?

Meaning not have alternating exposures, but parallel. I.e. stream 1 records 1/4 of the exposure time, stream 2 at full exposure.

Hey, one could even go wild and have stream 3 record only every other frame, but with double exposure time.

Am I making any sense?

(this might be more something for build 19, or Epic.)
