  • 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 :)

NAB 2014 rumors and whispers

Elizabeth Lowrey said:
That's very doable. I wouldn't want to have to arrive 2-3 hours before, but 30 minutes I can swing.

Even though I'm mainly going for the exhibits (and one workshop on Monday), I decided to fly out on Saturday (and thus have all of Sunday in Vegas) because it was actually CHEAPER to do it that way (at least through Xpedia, where I normally book my travel). Even looking up airline fares on the actual airline websites, tickets simply seemed to be more expensive if they involve Sunday travel, so even with an extra hotel day, I'm saving about $70 bucks by arriving on Saturday evening.

But that means I'd REALLY like to have a car for Sunday, as I'm not entirely sure what I'll do -- maybe even drive to the Grand Canyon or one of the closer national parks. My only fear was I'd get the thing and then have nowhere to park for the convention itself. So this is making me feel a little bit better about renting.

Thanks to all for offering their perspectives.:-)

IIRC, parking at the convention hall is $10. You could also park for free at pretty much any hotel on the strip and take a shuttle to the convention hall. Also, make use of valet at the hotels, it'll just cost you a tip.

Well this would be very very interesting. So would you need 6g-SDI to get that signal to it? is there a way to make that happen with current RED setup? probably not eh?
 
Or 2 3G sdi, sounds like we need a new red module
 
8k. HAHAHA! this generation's super hunger and expectation of technology and its super fast moving paste is insane.

Correct.
 
"Hi Mikey,


Thank you for interest on Kine Cinemas.


Regarding to the preorder of KineMAX 6K model, you need to read the terms of pre-order at first. The USD 3999 is just deposit for first 100 unit, not the price of KineMAX. " -Kinefinity Sales Team
:banghead:

But wait..

"Hi Mikey,


For the full price, it will be announced during NAB. Simple guess is that price is around Scarlet.


Keep in Touch." -Kinefinity Sales Team
:yikes:

Humm.. A 6K camera for the price of a Scarlet..(Dragon or:nonod: scarlet) how interesting. I think I'll Waite on purchasing a scarlet till NAB see what transpires.
 
What about a 'catch up' NAB wherein every single company just ships what they announced the previous year? ;-) :nads:

Yea....they based years of development that is all contingent on a consumer product from another company that changes its design every few years. Not exactly the best idea. What happens when the iPhone 6 has a few mm discrepancy in its size? Well...time for all the customers who brought the unit, after waiting years, to require a new housing....or an adapter system that will last another 360 days. Just seems a bit finicky. Probably better off losing any type of iPhone mounting system and going straight with a wireless network. I control wireless DMX with my phone at all kinds of events, I can't imagine it be completely impossible to setup a network and just do everything straight from the UI on the iPhone. Not an organic method by any stretch of the word...but it would fulfill a purpose.

This is actually what is the current state of affairs. Some companies are lucky to ship their promises by the following year. For those buyers who say: "I'm going to see what's introduced at NAB to decide what to buy for a project in May" . . . hasn't been paying attention.
 
I remember when Apple decided to stop attending trade shows as people expected it to coincide with product updates. People expected something at every Macworld, but now they decide on their own keynote to make announcements. Funny thing is, Red doesn't use the Booth at NAB to make any announcements either. They release info on Reduser late night during the show and many attendees actually at the show can easily miss out on news while those at home close to an internet connection found out things in real time.
 
I kind of get the feeling RED is gonna announce the sale of BT Scarlets, all the Scarlets traded for Epic upgrades gotta go somewhere after all.
