So dumb question: will this be necessary to edit with ProRes 4:2:2 on a Mac Pro, or playback realtime Redcode 4k downresed to HD on set?

Waiting for the RED presentation reviews and answers today.

Looks like it's the AJA IO with Pro4:2:2 hardware built in.

 

[Don Woods]

No its just an IO... You can do all your ingest and cross convertion with it. It is just nice ant you can ingest straight into prores

 

[Simon Blackledge]

so its just a re-jigged IO with a display? so it could be pushed to the limits of FW800 then maybe? more info!!! lol

Might we attach this to a AIT-5 deck or the like for real time REDcode (linear) recording. Assume deck has firewire 800.

[Simon Blackledge]

[Stephen Gentle]

Looks great, and I love the blinking lights

ProRes sounds great too - almost as good as REDCODE
