  • 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 :)

dsmc, an extreme case of overbombing...

Also, the other thing is of course, that since RED is going this far so fast, it puts itself in a very strong position to play a huge determining role as to how the future high end imaging world unfolds with regards to the market, standards, projection, etc. And have to say, I can't think of another group of people I'd rather have at the helm at this point.

I get the feeling here, that it is like: if you are not for RED you are against it. (Well we know this way of think from other events on this planet) Let me says that I love the way of the RED-RAW-4K idea. I shoot all my films on 35mm until REDONE, because it changed the world of filmmaking. But it is also absolut ok, if I thinking (= means using brain=) about what is going on with my camera and the workflow now an in the future. And even and sepcially because RED-Camera bodies are so cheap, it is really necessary to take a close look on what are the sideeffects.

A nice way to a play a "hugh" roll would be not to talk about Software Development Kids that will be "plug & play". A strong player should be able to deliver a fine Software development Kid. But when I sit in front of a Grading-System (also SCRATCH) I only grad in 1K in Realtime. Well that is "hugh" for the money I pay for that kind of licence and system..:-)

The SDK will be tracking along with the camera development schedule. When the cameras are ready, so will be the SDK. Support for REDcode from the new cameras will be plug and play to SDK developers which of course is the whole point of having an SDK.


I asked a simple question: Will there be a new RED-Codec in the future or will still be based on JPEG2000? And will it be for free? Is there a answer? No there is no answer coming. It is time to stop lollygagging about this poor SDK-theme.

Red "puts itself in a very strong position". It was a good start (5.000 cameras inkl Accessories * 30.000 = 150 Mio minus costs stuff+material), but it is not yet like this. As long the RED-Codec is based on JPEG2000, RED ist not independend. JPEG2000 is owned by some people, also from SONY with some patents. And RED cameras poachs in the fields of SONY. Let's hope that Sony will not step back from the JPEG2000 consortium. Otherwise your Camerabody is for the shelf to look at it and then even 3000$ fro a scarlet is a lot of money. But because of that, I strong believe that RED will come over with its own CODEC and it is my right as a costomer to ask, will this be for free or will I have to pay for it later on? And if I have to pay for it, how much is it! By the way, can I still do the grading on the system or do have to pay again?

Interesting Japanese-English tone to your post. Who are you really?

As long as you understand me, I am happy :sarcasm: I am german and a normal REDONE-User. Producer, director and will shoot my next movie spring 2009.
 
We don't expect that everyone will want a 617, but we have already had enough feedback that warrants doing it. Plus... I want one.

That's funny

I can understand this completely. Not on such a big scale, but I'm like this with my underwater toys...
 
Microsoft once said "Who ever need a computer with more RAM then 640kB?"

Cheers :)

Look at story of mouse device. When it was invented and what said John C. Dvorak about it not long time ago :biggrin:
