Monitoring outputs

Again, this is great news all around....

Question: In playback mode the EVF will show a cropped framing central 1280x848 pixels and the LCD will show a cropped framing central 1024x600 pixels out of the 1920x1080 frame - right?

Our team uses Cine-tal and Panasonic monitors in the field and at our studios, so that's also great news for us about the monitors verified for HD-SDI interface.

Almost, Gibby.

The EVF and LCD displays will represent the central 1280 x 720 pixels.

In the case of the LCD that data is scaled down to fit the 1024 x 600 pixel display.

This is no in-camera unsqueeze for anamorphic. There are external monitors that do this however.

Jim

I'm hoping that you may support this in the future. This is the main thing holding me back from taking anamorphics on to a real gig. Even if it isn't a perfect match to the lense, or the quality is not great... just subsampling the viewfinder to get a 2:1 unsqueeze, will make operating doable off the EVF and RED LCD.

How about the eCinema monitors?

 

[laguun]

good work, -but- besides the noise reduction & improved asa measurement...

will the R16 redcode raw be openend to 3hrd parties - as announced?

will the SDK become available - as announced?

 

[REDefine]

Laguun, If that happens along with release of build 16, then there is a real christmas in June.

Jim (Or whoever can answer),

One thing concerns me slightly.. With REDCine behind REDAlert, this effectively means non-mac users will have no way to process build 16 footage in the near future. Unless the SDK is coming out before REDCine.

Is there a chance that there may be a way to may proxy AVI files in RED, as a selection? Vs. Quicktime files? or that the Quicktime proxy files may indeed work in a PC?

Jay

Hey Jay -

REDCine is always behind RA - but did I miss a post from the Red Team saying they would RELEASE B16 before releasing a REDCINE beta that works with B16?

I have no idea when they are releasing anything - but unless I missed something, I don't think it's been stated that the firmware will be released before there is a compatible version of Redcine.

And it's obviously not possible to release an SDK when the actual file format is in Alpha.

 

[Jannard]

We are working on getting REDCINE up to speed... we realize how important it is. SDK work will be top priority as soon as the build is done.

Cast another vote for the anamorphic unsqueeze feature, please!

The roadmap is single link HD-SDI 1080P at 4:2:2- true progressive and dual link HD-SDI 1080P 4:4:4 true progressive. All recorders or end monitors must support 1080P true progressive... like the Panasonic D5 and their monitors. You need a 3rd party convertor box for non-true progressive recording or monitoring. RED only supports true progressive in camera, monitoring and post.

Jim

Thank you RED team. Sweet 16 keeps getting better and better!
