  • 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 :)

EVF or LCD?

Brook Willard said:
Oh, come on, now it's my fault? ;)

I have stated that it was a 720p LCD a few times... because I believed it to be [and I'd never heard otherwise]. So for that, I apologize for leading folks astray.

You should be shamed of yourself Mr. Willard! :poster_stupid:

All kidding aside, I believe everyone thought it was 720p including myself and grandmother.

I still have faith that it will be of capable quality to monitor my image with the Redeye focus assist.
 
Damnit! Here's how it's going to go down, folks . . . I'm gonna blow my $2,500 reservation credit towards that bitchin' RED EVF (remember, I was PRAYING that the reservation-holders' surprise was gonna be a free EVF?). Then a month later, I'll be like, "Aw, crap . . . what's another $1,700 anyway?"
 
Ralph, it's easy. GET THEM BOTH!!! It's just money, and what use is money if not to buy shiny high tech viewfinders, eh?

Like you, I can't decide between them. I'm sure at NAB it will be easier to judge their relative merits, but I'm pretty sure the end result will be the same... I'll want them both, so I've resigned myself to that fact and have great Karmatic peace... er something like that...
 
LCD native resolution - please!

LCD native resolution - please!

Brook:

I am one of the ones that you responded to and when I repeated asking to clarify the specific native resolution (the vast majority of LCDs have native resolution lower than the highest resolution signal they can accept.) The reply again was simply "720p". Now I find out that it isn't but I have searched back through several pages of this thread and can't find out what it is. So two questions 1) what is the native resolution and my apologies if it is repetitive, and 2) couldn't some of this stuff be published on the RED website - they can just put that all specifications subject to change to handle CYA - but it would be nice to know at least the latest thinking without having to search through hundreds of posts?

LCD Resolution

LCD Resolution

Sorry: I meant this to go on the other thread where Jim asked the question.

Jim:

Here is the series of LCD resolution questions where I asked, was answered, and pressed to confirm actual pixel resolution, and it was repeated as 720p. I included the whole post in which I asked just to show that I'm not bitching about any of it - I am just looking for information and since I talk about this stuff to other people who consider me somewhat of an expert I like to be sure of my facts. I know Brook doesn't speak directly for RED but on these questions where they give definite responses we figure they are at least wired into the source.

As a manufacturer myself I fully appreciate the headaches involved in this development project, so take this purely as a suggestion not a gripe. Maybe it is time to start fleshing out the basic specs of some of these components on the RED website, with the usual disclaimer that all specifications are subject to change without notice. At least we could have a central place to get the latest RED thinking on these things without having to search the threads and maybe get incorrect or outdated info.

Subject: EVF LCD Resolution - Actual 1280x720
"Just to confirm - the LCD itself is actually 1280x720."

EVF = 720p

3-13-2007, 03:00 PM #26 AquaVideoRed206 Original post with question:
Jim: I prefer the option of choice. As a manufacturer of underwater video systems where we supply both LCDs and a variety of batteries for our lights, I know you could have given us a cheaper LCD and a cheaper battery and actually kept a few hundred more dollars in your pocket. Both of them would have worked fine but be kind of half-assed compared to the solutions you ended up giving us.

The added option of choice is what really helps. In my case I will eventually have both the EVF and the LCD but initially I need the LCD more than the EVF. Yet the logical thing for you to do if you had to dictate the package would have been to give everybody the EVF and dump the battery idea. (Not sure why you included one in the first place. I have purchased at least 10 high end broadcast cameras from Panasonic, Sony, and Ikegami over the years - and not one of them came with a battery! )

Your accessory credit solution worked out better for me and I suspect for a lot of people that have different needs. Also, anyone that bought two or more, have the option of getting several of the options without spending anything additional.

Question: It probably has been stated elsewhere - but what is the pixel resolution of the LCD?
Jannard said:
OK Shawn... where has it "long been known" from?

And yes, focus on a 5.6" LCD with Graeme's Magic Focus invention will be obtainable from a 1024x600 panel.

Re: Bet it on RED

Re: Bet it on RED

How about we all meet at the roulette wheel Hilton Casino after the 1st day of NAB and all 1500 RED reservationists put $100 on RED - we'll either go down together or hit up the Hilton for $150K.

I think I'll go with this version of the EVF, just for the cool factor'
