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 :)
Posted on FB group but better suited here.
Been testing resolving power on Gemini, Otus 55 @ F8 in IPP2 & Legacy (RC, RG4 with topped curve) no filtration 45º shutter.
Love IPP2 but still on fence with new demosaic with a 5k camera. 8k and its never going to show up as its mostly mastered at...
Using CHARMCINE test 3200 ISO R3D frames https://vimeo.com/263222229 copyright to them.
I changed the Gemini to sit at ISO 2000, relative exposure ISO 4000 on Helium and ISO 5000 on Dragon. Reading the description they adjusted Key to match exposure on Dragon but looked like its stayed the...
I've been messing around with a whack together of the Matrix of Light Iron Colour. It's a bit ad hoc with conversion from DC1 RG2 in the mix. Separated from any gamma curves just the colour.
If you want to try them load them as IPP2 luts in camera or in RCX. Download here...
Finally launched the DELUTS UNIVERSE - RED DIGITAL CINEMA IPP2 set. Its been a long time coming. Anyone who bought the older, now legacy DELUTS RED products should have received an email with 25% discount.

Anyone who has followed my progress over the last few years knows that as soon as we had removable OLPF filters on the DSMC1 EPIC Dragon (I think that was Dec 2014) I experimented with the glass from beta Metabones speedboosters.
Finding physical time to actually get something produced is very...
First thrown together tests - something shot a bit better later on but for now proof of concept. These are my creative elements used (ones I used in Epic Dragon body), they are ground down top and bottom, black edges removed to give much more flare, lower contrast. Elements hand assembled so not...
I needed a quick solution to a lightweight job coming up and thought I would use the old mouldable plastic (heated in hot water) to make an impression on the 73Wh IDX batteries (run time about 1.45hrs) and on the brain. Its a bit heath robinson and all but its amazingly easy and snaps on and...
Basically you have to set your camera up for 100fps then turn on the Frame Processing set to Frame Averaging of 4 frames and select a 360º shutter. You will see frame rate goes back down to 25fps and audio available again. If you don't set to 360º you will see the imprints of 4 frames. Of course...
Loving the 'Open Gate' mode today for stills. 6k FF at 12fps / 2:1 fast shutter and very easy to see what I'm shooting. I know there are many uses for this but this is just wonderful.

I've noticed I can no longer access the Post:Look:Effects section of REDCINE-X as the sections read as "Not Licensed for use - disabled".
Tried both the latest Release v37.0.0 and Beta V38.0.0. Both show the same.
If I use the old trick by setting the System clock back a month then it works...
Attached are a couple of quick tests using an older E-EF speedbooster (not ultra as that bigger). Nearly fits without OLPF housing removed. (of course you have to be very careful here) - Just wanted to see if there would be enough room to fashion a dumb EF lens mount to this, will have to 3D...
I'm on my 2nd 7" touch, first unit the swivel was over loose and wobbled, much warmer in colour display and the self test maintenance of the touchscreen was out of align.
Not a problem and very speedy replacement received, these things happen.
The 2nd screen is fine apart from the touch is out...
I've uploaded a couple of Videos to Vimeo over the last few days in 4k UDH and they playback in 4k UHD. I confirmed this by looking at the page code, but its easy to see. Not great for people with slower connections but there are ways round that by linking in the playbacks from HD in the...
Based on my Dragon Button Presets & Looks
After finally realising how to generate button presets for my camera I thought I would post details just in case its helps anyone else.
Here are my camera presets and goto look I've been using for the last 6 Months.
I've also put on her my standard...

Poured down with rain and hid under a small lighting umbrella wedged into the side handle. Lens got a bit wet hence a few star patterns. Very simple and shot from one spot.
Lenses used mostly Sigma 18-35 and one shot on the...
I just wanted to test my Canon 1DC in 4k with the Dragon using the same lens etc, was just for me but thought I might as well share also. Even cropped down to the same aspect and resolution the Dragon has more detail, especially noticeable on distant roof tiles. (.R3D included for reference)...

Hi,
During capture the feed to the HDI or SDI on the brain is full 1080p. But when playing through playback on the brain the resolution drops. Same with any resolution etc.
Is that normal. I did hope for some clients to capture slow-motion segments via HDMI/SDI to a recorder. Fast turn around...
