Hello guys, we are thinking of purchasing a new workstation that should be able to playback 8K footage from our RED Helium S35 in realtime. I remember that NVIDIA and RED announced a cooperation to accelerate 8K Playback back in 2018, by offloading debayering and decoding on a Tegra based GPU...

Hey there, we have a VR Phantom Miro320S that stopped working a few weeks back. Unfortunately the camera is out of warranty and so VR only could offer us to RMA the camera for an amount of money, that we don`t wanna spend on it anymore. So i was asked to take a look at it and even if i am not...

Hey guys, first of all i hope this is the correct subforum to put this in, i couldn`t find any topics that were a better fit. With that being said, we are thinking about a new high-speed cam thats supposed to replace our phantom miro 320s. The cam will be mostly used for wildlife productions...

Hey guys, we are still in the process of replacing our old, 24bay "fibre channel attached" raid systems from axus. If it makes sense from a performance and price standpoint we would like to go for a shared storage system instead of a block level access based one like we currently have. Of...

Hey guys, right now we are in the process of replacing our old storage system. Its a 24bay FC 8Gb/s storage system, filled with 3TB harddrives. Attached to the main storage array is a 24bay JBOD via SAS, also with 24x3TB harddrives. We export four Raid6 Sets out of this storage system, giving...

Hey guys, we just purchased the epic-w a couple of days ago and are about to pick it up tomorrow in cologne. I did some research on my own and read the official documentation but i still got some answers on my mind and i would certainly appreciate if you can shed some light onto them. :) 1.)...

Hello, i would like to offer a HDx35 Mark II B4/PL Optical Adapter from Abel Cine. This adapter was just used a couple of times and is therefor in a good condition. The item is located in germany. Payment conditions: Bank Wire only. Buyer pays shipping and fees, international shipping...

Hey guys, first of all, merry christmas to all of you. :) We probably will go the upgrade route to the RED Epic-W at the end of January. My question is, what would you consider a capable machine of handling the 8K material the camera produces if there is any hardware at all. We purchased a new...

Hey guys, we are trying to estimate the amount of storage we need if we take the upgrade route from our current EPIC-M(X) to the EPIC-W. Therefor i would like to ask you guys what the recording data rates of EPIC-W is compared to the EPIC-M we have right now. For example EPIC-M: records to...

Hey guys, we are about to purchase a replacement for our rather old Macbook Pro (late 2011), its about damn time. An obvious choice would be to purchase a new Macbook Pro (mid 2015) but considering the expensive bto upgrades, there are surely alternatives. Furhermore, having a little bit more...

Hey guys, we are about to say farewell to our MacPro 5,1 and want to purchase a new machine, that is capable of handling mostly RED 4K/5K. We are mainly working with Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. I am an IT guy, so i have pretty strong ideas what we might purchase for our new workstation...

Hey guys, our camera guys brought some nice flamingo shoots back from the andes and i got problems with a few clips. Lets say we have a D104_xyz.RDM folder containing subfolders ranging from D104_C001_xyz.RDC to D104_C076_xyz.RDC. I am able to open most of the clips inside those subfolders in...

Hey guys, i was wondering, what benefits do i get from using the RED Rocket inside Adobe Premiere CC exactly? I did a few tests on my own to figure this out and i may jump to an early conclusion here, but it seems to me there is no great benefit at all. (when playing back at least) I played a...

Hey guys, first of all i have to say that i am not at all an expert when it comes to the RED Epic (or cameras in general^^) and yet i always get asked in our company if i can "look" for a solution to problem <xyz> related to DSMCs. (Guess thats the fate of the IT staff, they assume you know...

Hey there, i am asking myself what hardware would be required to play back 5K R3D files 1:1 without a red rocket and what the most common limiting factors for playback performance are. We are currently using a MacPro 5,1 with a Hexa Core Xeon clocked at 3,33GHz with 32GB RAM and a NV GTX570...
