  • 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 :)

How will it work?

I'm confused - I wasn't at Nab so I'm not absolutely sure what this thing does (will do).

Does it take the AF Cards that the Red has shot on and play the footage out through a BNC carrying HD/SDI with embedded audio and time code (behaving like a VTR) - It looks as though it has a disk drive of some sort. Is this Red's solution to getting R3d into an editable HD format?

Yes, it could work that way, yes that would be a good application. The optical disc aspect of this is it can accept RED's new delivery codec on a DVD-R.

That codec can put 2 hours of 4K compressed footage plus audio on a DVD-R disk (encoded in a RED software application); RED-RAY is the playback device.

Stuart,

Why not use Bluray discs?

Maybe the thought was they are not really necessary with good compression. Also- not too many people have a BluRay burner. Everyone has a DVD-R and many have DVD-DL.

So then you encode in a new RED program, and you can burn from this program to a regular DVD burner? Or do you burn using the RED Ray drive?

Does that mean that it compress the already compressed Redcode Raw files, or that it just burns the files so it can be used as a backup? It sounds like the foremost. Is the workflow if it's used as a backup device; reading the compressed files on the DVD-R and transfer it to the uncompressed Redcode Raw files to a harddrive.

Is the compression destructive for the redcode files? Is there a quality loss?

Yes it will have to compress a lot more and it will not be a backup.
The compression will be destructive and there will be a quality loss, how visible it will be is impossible to state at this point in time.
Personally I will be surprised if it doesn't look good on screen though. if not there will be no demand for this product, and Mr.Jannard doesn't seem to be a man who waste time and money on dud products.
I am thinking of it as a end user/cinema delivery system, but we know nothing at this point yet.:biggrin:
