Well that's an interesting development. Thanks for the info. Congrats to everyone moving in, up and out. A new era for sure. On the RED side of things, apart from a V-Raptor S35-X with global shutter, I can't think of anything RED would possibly already have lined up for DSMC3. Which could...

Just day-dreaming here, but with the advances in processing power and machine-learning, it would be interesting to see how accurately colour information could be extrapolated into the extremes of a sensors dynamic range, without having to actually capture colour information at those extremes...

Awesome resource. Really good presentations and explanations of what's going on with the V-Raptor X. Really good example too of your skills at translating the results of your thorough and painstaking top-quality testing and research into practical and useful information. Thanks for sharing...

Interesting perspective Daniel, thanks for that. Others here have described, in a logical and realistic fashion, how Nikon could go about pursuing a particular course of business to the detriment or even destruction of RED as a camera development and manufacturing operation, but I'm still not...

I have no idea what Nikon will do. They bought 100% of a company that's in the top three players in a market Nikon had no previous stake in at all. As of settlement of the buyout, Nikon will only exist in the Digital Cinema Camera market to the extent that RED does. Where they both go from...

No offense intended, but I don't accept the narrative or characterizations you've defined, and don't see a justification for the confidence you have in them. If I were to try and come up with a counterpoint within those limits though, to your assertion that Nikon are basically just going to...

I'm generally positive and optimistic about these developments. I think Nikon is genuine in their stated aims and reasons for buying RED and see no reason to assume they're going to take a 'buy it out and gut it' or 'put it on the shelf so no-one else can use it' corporate-take-over type...

This is from the DSMC 1 manual -

Sometimes getting the peripherals, including the RED accessories, to be fully functional and recognized by the camera body also requires going through the 'Camera/Add-ons Update' (or whatever it's called) section in the camera menu. Can even require resetting all settings to default and...

I don't think a hell of a lot of people did actually buy them, even when they were new. And so of course there would have been even less people than that having to deal with the things not working properly. Combine that with the general fall-off of traffic here and it makes sense that you...

If the aim is to increase the amount of functions you can assign to a limited amount of buttons, the best option imo is to switch between entire presets. It can get complicated very quickly and it's a bit of a chore to set up, but you basically assign a bunch of different functions to the...

It's an interesting question, that's got me re-thinking some of my custom button settings. I think the 'Key Press/Key Release' function is best suited to highly repetitive and/or temporary actions, but can also be used as a kind of fail-safe procedure. For example, if you were shooting frame...

Probably just me, but I don't know why you're saying more horizontal screen space is filled by (B). Isn't (B) still just a crop of (A)? If you project or screen both at 6K (6048x4032), then shouldn't (B) just look like (A), but minus 756 pixels cut from the top and bottom of frame (2520 + 756...

What Drew said. Definitely not normal. Sorry to say, but if it's happening on all screens it would suggest it's not a faulty external connection but something internal to the camera.

The short answer is yes, what you said in your second post is correct. The longer answer is, there are different ways and reasons why you would capture and end up with a 2.4:1 AR non-anamorphic deliverable, so there isn't one specific way of doing it, but a variety of options depending on your...

The wiring diagrams and descriptions for the different ports on the RED camera's are in the Operation Manuals (in the 'Mechanical Drawings' section of the manual) that can be downloaded from RED.com. Have never really looked into this before, so it's kind of new to me. Turns out the external...

I for one welcome our new psychopathic AI overlords.

Funny coincidence seeing Kondor Blue mentioned here, in light of some other things that I've been using recently that they make, and considering I'd never really heard of them before. I've got no idea whether this iPhone thing is a good product or not, but I know for a fact Kondor Blue make...

There are probably ways to work more traditional relay switches into cables and peripherals that are already working, but I think the compatibility is partly at the operating system level of these camera's/computers nowadays, like when you add a RED module or peripheral to RED camera and it has...

Pretty sure camera's and the third party (or even proprietary) run/stop triggers need to communicate the run/stop command via compatible communication protocols, using a cable wired with the ability to relay that command. Which requires specific firmware in both trigger and camera, and which...
