Jeff and Takashi sit down to discuss what's transpired thus far, what the collaborative efforts between Nikon and RED have yielded so far, and perhaps some nods to future endeavors. and a small tease that dropped during NAB 2026.

And yes, two camera announcements back to back. The new Nikon Zr. Full frame, 60 fps @ 6K resolution featuring some influence of the RED workflow with the colorspace we all know so well + REDCODE RAW NE with 32-bit audio to boot. https://www.nikonusa.com/p/zr/2006/overview/

A new entry level V-Raptor XE featuring the same sensor technology as V-Raptor [X] with slightly less features and half the maximum frame rates, with a very approachable price. 8K 17:9 maximum frame rate = 60fps. Available in both Canon RF and Nikon Z Mounts...

In what will go down as one of the most difficult workflow issues across the industry over the past 15-ish years, I'm very happy to announced that Blackmagic Design now supports Apple ProRes Encoding/Export on Windows and Linux.

Hello all, Dropping this here as it has some pretty big ramifications for professional workflow and workstations in our industry. I was/am pretty fortunate to test out the new top end Blackwell GPU for several weeks before yesterday's announcement. In particular I tested R3D Workflows against...

For those following the announcements this week, this is a notable update for both Z and RF camera bodies. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES SINCE V-RAPTOR 1.8.5 Added V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount support Added Lens Menu Added Focus System Menu Added Focus Sensitivity Control Added support for hold type user...

Worth a read for those tuned in. Interview by John Fauer, ASC. https://www.fdtimes.com/2024/05/01/keiji-oishi-and-jarred-land-on-nikon-and-red/ Also, RED @ NAB 2024 as well.

Reposted what I just shared across social and FB Groups as this is relevant to anybody using DSMC3 cams. It's been a few heartbeats since I dropped my last round of CFx notes. Two quickies for both RED filmmakers and anybody who uses CFx in their cameras. Firstly, if you have Angelbird/RED...

Hello all, Here's the results of those first precious yet tedious weeks of testing the new camera. After about 25+ years of professionally testing cameras, I'm going into more depth than I ever have publicly because there's been a lot more interest in all of it. And it's time to expand on a...

I have one as of earlier today. Shot about 5 hours worth of technical tests thus far, but breaking now for food, and will startup again after. I'll be posting stuff as I discover/uncover things. But quickly I can say this is pretty incredible.

I've mentioned it, we knew it was coming, and we've seen a light dabbling of dedicated mirrorless mount cinema glass. But here's the new Canon CN-R Primes https://www.newsshooter.com/2023/09/12/canon-cn-r-rf-mount-cine-primes-announced/ If they are based on the RF L series primes, (of which...

For those um... patiently waiting for the OG Komodo to get some rather big love in that release build sort of fashion, he's the big hug. KOMODO 1.7.5 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES SINCE BUILD 1.6.5 * Added ELQ R3D Quality * Added support for KOMODO MONOCHROME * Added support for RED RF TO PL ADAPTER W/...

At the XR Studios event this evening (great event), I got my first real hands-on look at this new mount, which should answer a bunch of questions. Firstly, this is the same tech that's in the Raptor XL camera which I have tested thoroughly. Rather than built into the body, you have a mount with...

Much like I did for the OG Komodo launch, I'm going to post some notes along the way. Won't go as hard as I'm currently on a project, but I'll keep it to the most critical things. This will be a repository that will likely have some info ending up in a sticky or whatever. I'll try to be...

I dipped into Scott Balkum's livestream today, which he does every Friday nearly, and was treated to Jarred not only stopping by, but also:

Jarred just posted it and I can now talk about testing it a few weeks back. But here it is. The new RF to PL Mount and she's a beauty. This is available for both Raptor and Komodo. Strong, Shimmable, Hybrid Titanium construction (good for wild weather), and yes 4 tabs when it's tricky to get...

Here's a copy of what I blasted on Facebook last night in regards to the latest and greatest hardware versus camera solutions today with some notes about some incoming codecs and such. Definitely a stream of conscious post, but perhaps useful for those with older or not-so-older hardware...

A lot gets lost in the hay and day to day chatter, but I feel compelled to make a post to touch on a few topics as things are looking to shape up in a variety of directions. Jarred just dropped a tease for a 1st party RED PL Mount as well as the RED PL ND Mount that will be compatible with...
