  • 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 :)

Beta policy change...

I speak up when I think something isn't right and I speak up when something sounds right and I applaud RED for this move. RED has asked a lot of flexibility from their customers and they're returning the favor--certainly weren't obligated to but stood up for their customers. Bravo.

It must be the first time I hear something from Jim which is not really crystal clear to me. Does that move apply to ALL reservations holders, including reservation numbers well down in the order such as mine. Or does it apply to numbers ready for shipment (i.e up to #500) ? I had always figured that balance payment was to be completed just prior to shipment, on receiving the much-awaited e-mail "your camera is ready, etc.". Could anyone fill me in ?

We have listened to our customers and are making a policy change. We will extend the "beta" period until March 1st. All reservation holders can wait until that time to decide if they will accept their RED ONE.

We will continue to ship cameras (in order) to those reservation holders that want their cameras. But no reservation holder will lose his place in line until his/her decision on March 1st.

The "out of beta" deadline of Mar 1 is for #1-#500 who have held off delivery.

Is there anything new with the Beta policy change, since March 1st is already gone since some weeks?
 
My guess is that as long as the image changes have been delayd untill firmware 16, RED will not be out of beta untill firmware 16 is out of beta.

It has been stated that one can delay ones pickup untill specific problems are solved. Nowaday these problems seem to be mainly workflow and accesory hardware related. (Base production pack, cast accessories and the RAID has been taking a beating lately...)

But an official statement on this would be interesting...

How are your REDS doing in your shop?

Look here:
http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7464

"...The new RED policy regarding the ability for the reservation holder to wait for their camera, whether due to accessory fulfillment, feature set completion or financial circumstances, is this: If you have a reservation and wish to delay delivery of your camera package (for any reason), you can, by notifying RED at orders@red.com within (30) days of receiving your first delivery notice email. Once you decide you are ready to take delivery of your camera, you can send final payment and RED has (30) days to work you back into the delivery rotation. Your camera serial number will remain intact".

So if your funds aren't quite all ready yet, or not all accessories are available, or any other reason, and your 30 days comes up, you can choose to drop out of line but still keep your serial number. When you're ready, let Red know and they will have 30 days to work you back into line. A very generous offer!

ok nothing very new now. Gunleik, our 5 Red´s are doing well, working a lot and after every production we´re going on testing. One of our customers just finished a 3 weeks production with no problems in Mexico with a extra built fisheye lens for the hamburg planetarium.
we are now thinking about a new sideplate with better connectors (full bnc, full xlr and the computer interfaces behind a cover.

no, thats not what we are looking for. I know that already. we want to have a complete new right side, because of all the dust und "schmodder" coming in or inbetween these attached boxes. We think it could be useful to have also a tc display on the right side. This is what many of our customers wants to have.
And with the airseland box we haven´t solved the problem with the pc interfaces which are really damageable.

A design for a 'cable anchor' to protect the HDMI, & USB connectors is on the drafting table and can be incorporated into the design of the IOP4R-1. However, we have found that the panel already protects these ends from a direct hit. I would consider a TC display as a possible future option. It all depends on demand.
