NAB 2014 - DRAGONcolor and REDgamma 4

This is big.....

Tomorrow morning we will be releasing a new RCX as well as a new Camera build that includes DRAGONcolor and REDgamma 4.

Does RED think they've squeezed all they can out of the MX now? I have no plans to upgrade to Dragon and would like to see MX color science developed further.
