FLUT Science...

[Jannard]

You really are going to love this. It includes...

1. New Color Space.
More accurate color science and a new color space called REDcolor. Remember that Color Space is not baked in to RAW. This will be the option to CameraRGB or REC 709. I pick REDcolor every time now. But all are more accurate.

2. New Gamma.
REDgamma. It is a gamma that uses more information from RAW than REC 709 or REDspace. It matches your meter. It looks fantastic. The standard REDgamma is fairly flat and ready to grade. REDfilm is a gamma that emulates scanned film... for those traditionalists.

3. Old Legacy.
REDspace, as a color space or as a gamma, plus all the old "other gammas" will be included in REDCINE-X for legacy use. But you can grade your old footage with REDcolor and REDgamma... that is the power of RAW.

4. FLUT.
Graeme's baby. This one will be shown and explained at RED Day. You are going to love this. Money back guarantee... oh, forgot. It's free.

In REDCINE-X, you set Color Space (REDcolor). Set Gamma (REDgamma). Set or check your White Balance. Adjust the FLUT Control. Grade. Easy.

REDCINE-X has several new features that you will appreciate... like Shadow Control. Plus... a few new big surprises.

I hope to see many of you at RED Day in February.

Jim,

Thanks for the Christmas gift.

Will this go into existing RED ONE's on a future build?

Merry CHristmas.

Some of this new science will go into a firmware build for the RED ONE. But a lot of this is "post science"... meaning it is just better with whatever you have shot or will shoot. EPIC and Scarlet have a bit more of the capability built in (FLUT Control)... but the RED ONE definitely improves with much of this.

This is great. That means the old stuff or stuff we shoot now improves again (gotta love RAW). Can you give a hint as to what FLUT stands for or where the name comes from?

My guess is:

Thanks for the quick honest reply.

[dean merrill]

looking forward to seeing this on RED day!

 

[Brook Willard]

Very cool, can't wait for more information!

 

[Jannard]

Let me think... H.264 or RAW.

Jim

 

[Alex Mack]

Red film is a clever idea you know.
It'll be fun to shoot stuff in camera and then have the non-techies say "holy hot damn, red really is like film!"
Plus it will be nice as a kind of 'mood setter'...
Intrigued for FLUT...
Merry Christmas to you and all at Red, amazing you guys are still at it today.

 

[Brook Willard]

Jim

There's obviously no comparison between the two and the technological superiority is clear... but there's no discounting how powerful and cool the Canons have been to play with this year. I can't wait to see what you guys have in store, but I still have a 7D sitting next to me on the couch as I type this.


Will we hear/see anything regarding FLUT and other details at the earlier [CML] event or will all be unveiled at RED[user] Day?

 

[David Battistella]

Let me think... H.264 or RAW.

Jim

Exactly...RAW doth Rule...for anything that you photograph that really matters.

H.264, well...Great delivery codec.

But then again there will be RED RAY.

exciting times....

I'm now completely comfortable shooting ISO 2000 (M-X)... Graeme and the boys have done some recent magic.

Jim

 

[David Battistella]

Do you think there will be a recommended ISO rating change, from 320 to 500 or 640 for example, with the M-X sensor? or are the images just cleaner through decoding?

Seems like this is a faster sensor....

We'll probably recommend shooting ISO 320-1000 for best results. Everything is cleaner... colors more accurate and FLUT is an edge you haven't seen.

We are also making some U/I changes that make it MUCH easier to hit exposure...

Jim

 

[Jannard]

I don't really care what the "other guys" are doing... we sure are having fun figuring all this stuff out. I just wish building cameras was easier. Every time we turn around there is some kind of drama. 11,000 parts that don't just make themselves and jump together when yelled at. Ugh.

Tease...

Jim

Nice. A split screen monitoring mode between RAW VIEW and FLUT (that's to say the user set up) would be a nice one button feature for the operator only, but i know that might be complex to incorporate.

I hope it's something we can turn on and off, a choice between a sort of advanced or simple mode.

Thanks again for being so accessable on these questions...appreciated.

That's a lot of CAD drawing to keep track of.

[Brennan Klensch]

any chance at a quick set of sample footage put through the "RedFilm" gamma? this definitely attracts a customer like myself

Everything at RED Day...

Jim

 

[Cail Young]

And a Merry Christmas to you, too. Anything simplifying exposure on set is a good thing. Any chance of loading different stock emulations or will it be one "average" lookup?

 

[Cedric Akins]

I am very interested in learning more about the new color scienc, FLUT, as well as Red Gamma.
