It is a rare day that I bump into a fellow Solitaire user or knower. Laser recording is superior, but yes, the CRT based recorders were and even are still used to film out larger format material. In my old studio's case we used it for 65mm 5-perf and 70mm 15-perf mainly for IMAX and ride...

Many questions. What camera and firmware? Also what media are you using? I used the Pro I/O for literal years with no issues on two bodies. You shouldn't have any lag with the module on or off.

Bare in mind, RSH wasn't part of the deal and is worth about 40-65% of that value (I think worth $35mil at the time when Jim purchased it). And I suspect the sale wasn't exactly traditional in nature as well compared to other acquisitions.

Mark Roberts Motion Control. Established in 1966. Long time and very established motion control manufacturer and rental, typically used on higher end production. Probably most notably and visible to the public is the Bolt robotic arm, which is a smaller and faster than say a Milo. But if...

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.

Correct, but unfortunately more variables at play. Low Pass Filters, different sensor designs, actual different sensor micro lens designs, and the spooky one; the individual lenses. It would be a much easier conversation if digital and/or film were a single surface/layer affair that was...

Can't speak for the SWIT, but the Core SWX NanoX batteries use the same exact cells in the previous gen and OEM RED batteries, so I wouldn't have any reservations on those in particular. V-Mount does pass through charge data from what I saw at NAB on those.

They are cleaner and louder, far better suited for capturing audio in camera with the X, but I was able to on rolling Raptor as well.

Diffraction is dependent on both the lens and the medium/format. It comes in earlier in the higher resolution, more fine grained stocks as well as smaller pixel sizes. Very small pixel sizes for instance are prone to the worst of it. Slower film stocks to a degree as well depending on the...

I spent hours discussing the future of RED and Nikon with both RED and Nikon at NAB. There's short term and long term plans unfolding. Yes. Jarred and Jim are now Advisors, and that will keep them in the loop for a long while one way or another. The general sentiment from Nikon people was...

DSMC3 cameras, all of them, have a more advanced Color Filtration to Cut, Block, Reject IR than the previous Skin-Tone Highlight, Standard, and Low Light Optimized Filters. These new filters also assist in mitigating internal reflections to avoid "orbs" when stopped down and filming things like...

https://www.provideocoalition.com/red-debuts-all-new-broadcast-solutions-in-las-vegas/ They have a few setup at the show and are doing private demonstrations for those who need to dive deeper. During my demo and chat, there were three major players also there. When I can I'll do a deep dive...

Just some inside baseball chatter. Spoke with Tommy for about an hour today. Will likely collect more thoughts as a certain other power hitter will be around as well. But yeah, I'm real excited about this at the end of the day. For those not at NAB. Nikon, MRMC, and RED are sharing a...

Was this ProRes or R3D?

I'm looking forward to testing this camera, both the 12K and 17K. But the challenges that will be faced are strongly related to the small pixel size and when diffraction comes into play. Likely at or beyond T4. But that's something some of us can handle just fine. The best news is that BMD...

During the announcement, I did add the Ursa Cine 12K and 17K as well as the PYXIS into my formatCompare and other PHFX | tools. I'm excited to test out the 12K and 17K models. Camera form factor isn't great for my purposes, but I'll figure out of that is a deal breaker. It is a small pixel...

You conveniently leave out the big note that has been stated multiple times in every press release regarding both companies future efforts. And they emphasize in each, both companies. That isn't by accident. And if you are appointing things like RED CO-CEO, that is clearly ensuring the...

Based on the press releases from both Nikon and RED at this point, I think the general summary is "business as usual". Both have emphasized that actually. I see a fair bit of overreaction without too much foundation beyond that. And I think my personal take, knowing Jim and Jarred for a...

As of late, pretty much every manufacturer has been semi-decent about firmware updates. There's 4+ year old cams getting love. There is certainly another layer to that when it's a feature request and if it's possible or worth investing resources into implementing and optimizing. That's a...

Short term, nothing different from our perspective and probably not for a while. A bit after that, likely some sort of implementation of REDCODE RAW in Nikon mirrorless bodies. Unknown if it will be called that or something like NRAW2 or whatever. Products, specifically cameras, usually take...
