I also spoke to someone at the booth regarding the iPad app, and he mentioned it would work over WiFi, but it was being "buggy" (my word, not his) at the show due to all the WiFi signals present, so he had it hardwired in through what may have been ethernet, didn't get a good look. BUT, my point is, it should work through WiFi, with no mention of latency, as it is primarily metadata settings (though there do seem to be some camera controls enabled possibly?), there shouldn't be much lag to speak of.
I believe the latency concern was related to sending a picture back to the iPad from the camera, not the ability to control settings, etc. This is a feature that is not currently in the app but, obviously, would be a real win. And, as far as the hook-up at NAB, if I understood correctly, the iPad was sending a Wi-Fi signal not directly to the camera, but to a router that was right under the counter and hooked to the camera. And, again, I could have misunderstood and would love to have clarification from RED. (In due time, I imagine.) :001_smile:
