  • 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 :)

M-X at ISO 2000...

We now use FLUT Science on everything... we are working on including it for older RED ONE footage with a new build and REDCINE-X support.

Then you're definitely doing it right. The light falloff looks gorgeous, and if I didn't know better I would've said those were grabs from film. I'm incredibly impressed, not just with the sensitivity and the DR, but also the noise characteristics, it's very pleasant and even to my eyes.
 
Any indication yet on how well the 2/3" sensor will perform in comparison?
 
That's a big difference in itself, all things being equal-
and there is no reason to assume otherwise at this time.
And bigger has more going for it than resolution and how
far one sits from a screen. Compare film formats and get
an idea of the direction this is headed- even if it's not a
perfect analogy.
 
All looks good to me and with the new Red-Cine X and FLUTs to control the color on these bad boys I know me and my clients will be stoked!

Congrats on the release! Red Day was a Success!

Other than being a larger format sensor, I can't see how much better Monstro is going to be seeing this.

Imagination drives developement.
I cannot really se how Jim, Graeme and crew all of sudden loses the capacity to imaginate new image-standards.

But then again, that's just me...

In terms of noise: I heard how smaller photosites result in a higher noise level. Is that true? What does that mean for the 2/3" sensor in terms of what we see right now from the M-X sensor?
Or does the above statement mean, that the 2/3" sensor will be as sensitive to light and have the same noise behaviour?

Thank you for sharing :)

Normaly if you would have to sensors with the same resolution, let's say 3K and one is smaller in size, the smaller one tends to have a higher moise level, because every pixel has less area to collect light (to say it in a few words) than on a bigger sensor with the same resolution (cause of gain and so on ...). But there are a lot more technical issues that influence the noise level.

Some time ago i found a very good website that explained it (for digital photo cameras but tahs very similar) but i don't find it at the moment. I post the link if i find it.
But even if the M-X-2/3" would not have these low noise level of the M-X-S35, if it only comes near to it, it will beat all actual 2/3" cameras one markte in terms of low light.

Shooting at 2000 asa will change cinematography. Bounce, small powered light units and natural ambiance will be able to play on a subject the way it does with the eye. This will lead to a more "lit" feel with 1/5th the amperage and tonnage of light rig.

Thanks for revolutionizing filmmaking RED!!!!!

I don't think you'll see a huge change in lighting styles anytime soon. Well lit images are well lit images and that won't change.

When fast film stocks came around that added a tool to the arsenal, it did not change lighting forever.

We don't have to see huge changes in lighting styles-
all we have to see are huge changes in OUR lighting styles.
Technology isn't going to make movies better universally, as if by reflex-
it's about empowering the individual to make THEIR movies better.
 
I guess the point is that if ISO is completely useable... what does ISO 500 look like?
