  • 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 :)

KOMODO....

I’m thinking it’s just a fixed OLPF, but I hope it’s a good RED developed one.

I have an URSA mini pro and the Morie is horrendous... it’s been bad on all their cameras. Every thing else about the cameras are fantastic. But the IR pollution and morie is unreliable and not good enough for professional jobs. The RAWlite olpf helped a lot.

Anyway looking forward to this camera, looks an absolute diamond.
 
I think Jarred confirmed in this massive thread or online that it was/is a fixed OLPF, which makes sense at this price point.

Though we are far away from the possibility of it, Jarred's last shot of ISO 5000 inspires a mighty curiosity of what a Monochrome Komodo would look like and exactly what it could do.

Just one to keep in the back of our minds until Komodo is in full swing.
 
Hi

I can’t find find any FPS info on the lower res specs. Keen to use for slow mo sports jobs at 4K

4K 2k 1080. Anyone know? Only found 60fps at max res.
 
Do we have confirmed FPS for 6K? does it do 50/60? Or is it 50/60fps at 4K?
 
Low light - high iso

Low light - high iso

Presumably Komodo will not be a low light monster?
The sort of see-in-the-dark at 25k iso settings as Sony A7S and to a lesser extent C200 and even P4k.
That's going to be the basis of my decision whether to wait for one or settle for the A7S3 (assuming that even exists).
Is anything known about this other than speculation that it is unlikely?
Thanks.

We know it shoots at 5000 ISO.

Monochrome Komodo definitely on the radar, but not till we get past the first swell of orders and get caught up a bit.

Please, pretty please keep me in mind for one!!!!!!!!! Whenever that is ready, I don't mind however long it takes :)

I trust these will be rather limited with a considerable lead time.
 
It looks like the physical keys are backlit! Nice!

On that photo I just posted you can see a little slice of my phone in the corner and on that phone is displaying a full page of pretty incredible PDAF feedback as those focus pixels are now alive and well. It is pretty mesmerizing watching the raw data come in from what they are capturing and the mind starts to wander thinking about all the possibilities with what we can do with that... What you ask we actually already have coded and in DMSC2, it is just the contrast AF in DSMC2 sucked so bad that it never really works that well. PDAF will make that code so much more useful.

But as I said before, It's going to take a while before we do a real deep dive into phase detect autofocus, too many other more important things to dig into right now. When I put up my hands and yell "AF AF AF!" , Uday is quick to slap me and remind me that we have only spent about 1 engineering man year of development with PDAF so far and Canon has about 2000 man years combined. So quite honestly... we have some catching up to do. I'd bet money that we wont have PDAF at launch .

Jarred, I know it might be wishful thinking and there's no offense intended: but is this AF catching up ending anywhere to a truly usable level or would some sort of collaboration with Canon to get their DualPixel AF into Komodo through let's say a paid license not be a more feasible option?

Naming it right now: "MonoKomodochrome"

Called it! :)

These comments is why I love Red and come here everyday to read something like this..
 
Thanks for posting a shot of the baseplate/EXT breakout module, looks very slick. That said, I was hoping for an Ethernet port to support tethered recording of R3Ds. I realize that Komodo is not intended to be as full featured as DSMC2s (let alone Rangers), but is there any path to externally record the RAW data set? Perhaps a way to toggle the 12g SDI tap to send out R3Ds instead of a baked RGB signal?

I can only imagine how much is still to be done just to get basic operations bulletproof for release. That said, if the device is capable of it, tethered recording would be useful.

Cheers - #19
 
Shouldn't that be Monodo...?
