Thats one hell of a list. Busy little Red Beavers aint ya!!!

looking forward to it, thanks
 
Looks great. Question: Does the "MAX" mode increase image quality over Build 16, or does having the "MAX" mode off decrease quality compared to what we have now? How much longer are the decode times, for example 1.5X or 2X and so on?

Thanks!

EDIT: Spotshooter beat me to it.
 
This all rocks! Great work guys!

OK, now that the info can be turned off in the EVF do you think you could get the Record "Dot" and/or the TC/Clip Name out on the HD-SDI?

We lost a key shot yesterday because the record button was double pressed. Also the Script Sups. are dying without the TC/Clip name on the tap.

Again, great job!
 
let me tell u guys something. i own an arri 435 xtreme complete package with cooke lenses in pakistan and i will tell u right now- i have never seen any camera company do so much for so less for so long and keep trying it harder and harder. i salute u man.

u guys are the savior honestly - for all true film makers who needed a break from high end high cost of so called high end camera crap , telecine out there.

i love film but its about time simple guys show great stuff too.

next 5 years will tell clearly what RED has done to the Film scene.

RED is a force now!
