We will be sending out an email to customers #1-500 shortly.

Basically, it says that if you are a reservation holder in this serial number range, you have until August 1st (this year) to make the decision whether to pay the balance and take delivery or get your deposit refunded and lose your position in line.

We feel very strongly that we have listened to the community and have been very fair about this. The RED ONE, with Build 16, now exceeds almost every expectation and is suitable to be called a "production camera". By August 1st, the SDK will have been released to the community and REDCINE and RED Alert! will be "Release Versions".

We need to know who is in and who is out so we can better plan our production schedule.

After we have finished with #1-500, we will then look to #501-1000... and so on.

We appreciate everyone's patience and continue to look forward to delivering "surprise capbilities" for the RED ONE going forward.

good policy - and good to know about 1.8. for the SDK.
Will be to the redcode fileformat be documented before the SDK? Iridas, cineform etc probably dont need the SDK, the fileformat would suffice them.
 
Anyone in that group that would like to trade reservations for a reservation in the low 3000 Please PM me!

Jim,
I'm not sure if this is Kosher with you, but I really would like to have a camera or TWO Now and this may serve both owners...

Thanks
Dave

I think that you would be disappointed if someone in the 4000s jumped in front of you with a trade like that... ?

Seems like some confusion here... the SDK will be out well before August 1st. The call for delivery gives everyone enough time AFTER the SDK is released to make a decision.

BTW, we are shooting for "weeks" not "months" on the SDK.

Jim
 
Ohhhhhh.. Thanks Jim. 1.8 was the DATE... Those damn people from Berlin write the date backwards!!! :)

I get it now... And then Jim comes back with "Sooner than Aug 1st" Good to know.

I'm not too slow... Am I?

:)

Just messing with you Laguun

Jim,

I see your point yes I would.. and yes you are very fair....I just thought it would serve both owners if someone is not ready and I am....

Please feel free to delete my post if you are not on board with this...and as alway this post is with all due respect to you & the RED team!

You guys are Rocking the world of Ultra-High Def!!

Dave
 
We'll try to go in an orderly fashion so we don't disrupt the current group scheduled for delivery... :-)

Any chance we can get a peek at the SDK (preliminary) documentation before you release the code? or is it to much trouble or not enough mature yet?

What programming language do you recommend using with the SDK? I mean, what do you use? Whatever language it is, Id like to pick it up before the sdk is out. Something tells me its not java.
My guesses would be C, C++, or C#, for speed.

will the SDK have APIs that will let us interface with the camera directly, or just the footage?

Looking forward to the SDK, keep up the good work.
 
Jim, as soon as you can give us an estimation on the release new version of REDcine it would be appreciated. As a PC workflow guy, I am hesitant to upgrade to B16 until I have a way to process the files.

First it was rumored to be the end of this week, then next week, now with the SDK "in weeks", etc. No pressure, just antsy to boot up B16.

Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication. It is much appreciated and admired.

aloha,

Keith
 
It's strange that there are people still hesitating.

Even if they don't want\need the camera (:huh:), they can make a nice profit by taking possesion and reselling it to people with no res. number (or a high one), who need it ASAP.

The proper way, IMHO.
