  • 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 :)

EPIC HDR...

If this is not the time to answer questions we understand.

Hordes of us are patiently waiting with bated breath.

EDIT: A FRAME, AND A CHART!!! Wooho!! Thank you! :)
What was the time? Looks like afternoon.

Lets put it this way... there is more DR than you can get with any other camera. This was only +3. Bright sun and typically a problem. More footage to come that better represents what the HDRx mode can do.

The long and the short is... EPIC is it.

Jim
 
BTW... that chart shows 18 stops.

Sorry, Roberto said it 1st.

Best part is that it is motion and not just a still!

That's kinda fun.

Any response to where it gains the extra stops, if the Epic MX allows for more light, too?

Shoot normal ISO and get more highlight protection than you could ever imagine. The shadows have never been an issue. Clean... noiseless images that cover any scene.

OK. Now I am excited (if I wasn't already)

NOT having to add say nd .6 - .9 to protect the highlights, is kinda cool for the image overall (and the hazzles of shooting... -:))

That's truly amazing, Jim. We can't wait to order our stage 3 EPIC.

I was wondering what you meant with "Or there is a "normal" way to deal with motion blur."?

Can motion blur be a problem with HDR?

No problem with motion... your choice is "normal" or "magic".

Jim
 
So normal consists of two "magic exposures" blended in-camera into a "normal looking" image? And magic lets you record all the info and combine them to your preference in post?

Jim, this is spectacularly groundbreaking. Congratulations.

Is the selection process of HDRx a one-way street? In other words, if I select to do the processing in post when I decide to shoot HDRx, dial in +6 stops, and then in post realize there were problems with motion blur, or some other artifact that I missed, can the footage revert to non-HDRx R3d raw? I'm guessing not, but just wondered how Murphy proof this is likely to be?

Cheers,
Paul

Nope... :-)

Jim
 
WIll there be a "magic latitude protection mode" in the development software, so that max sensor latitude is mapped smartly into the different ISO ratings?

(I know I ask for more answers than I deserve...)
 
One word = Boss....

Congrats Jim and the RED Boys! I can't wait to see some footage, and hopefully this will get transferred into Scarlet!! :)

I will tell you that EPIC is the resolution leader. EPIC is the dynamic range leader. EPIC is the bang for buck leader. And EPIC is the size/performance leader. Actually... IMHO EPIC is, well Epic.

not to mention modularity leader... I was already excited about the Epic program w/o HDRx... this just puts the nail in the coffin to any other cinema camera out there.

Yes... actually it can. HDRx is a two stream mode. You can choose to use it or not. Easy HDR is done in camera and is not reversible.
