NAB Surprises

[jbeale]

...any kind of environmental (dust) seals over the connectors? And/Or any seals els-ware to protect the innards?

Caps on unused connectors seem good although they get lost instantly without a tether, and with a tether they flap and bang around, get tangled and in the way. Maybe some kind of dust shield, raincoat or all-weather jacket would be a nice accessory in the field.

As far as environmental sealing, I believe those are open grille vents I see along the bottom edge for ventilation. Jim had mentioned a heat issue at one point. If that 's the reason for the vents, then it may not be possible to really seal it, unless there is some other provision for cooling.

The electronics are sealed separately from the open area on the bottom of the camera.

Hi,

A great surprise would be if at NAB, the RED team showed some of the new footage and it opens with some brilliantly shot REDCODE RAW 4K footage in 60P. Now that would be a surprise and the answer to many reservation holders prayers.

 

[Brook Willard]

Oh man, more of the 60p thing. :laugh:

 

[Rogelio Salinas]

There should be a whole forum dedicated to 60P

I hope they just manage to bring a fully working red one:sarcasm:

Are there any details on how reservations are going to be held at NAB?

1. Is it going to be a $1000 deposit?

2. Do I pay with credit card or check?

3. Any specific day and/or where (i.e. exhibition booth) will reservations take place?

Thanks for your time. I'm mostly going to NAB to reserve a RED, so any information would be helpful.

 

[Brook Willard]

RED booth, Monday morning, firm orders, woowoo!

Amen !!!

 

[Jannard]

We will take orders with fully refundable deposits at NAB and online beginning when the doors open on Monday. We haven't decided yet the percentage of the total that the deposit will be, but will post prior to NAB.

Timed ticket for a private moment.....

Timed ticket for a private moment.....

Jim,

I don't fancy being responsible for counting the Red demo cameras at the end each day at NAB

How about a seperate area for a timed ticket deal so fans can get to handle RED for a minute or so without needing to be built like a quarterback to break through the throng?

I have a question. I have a feeling RED may introduce product(s) that we are completely unaware of (but love to speculate-- RED primes?, usb controller/or remote for stop motion/full camera control/luts, etc.) but would love to put a deposit down to secure our place. Will REDCORE members have a chance to get first dibs or is it refresh city on the RED website to our place for the product(s)? Which with 14 employees I know things are tight, this not a whine but a what if... thank you.

 

[Jannard]

All orders taken from the beginning of NAB, whether at the show or online, will be handled by the time they are taken. No serial numbers will be assigned.

Priority will be given to reservation holders for any newly announced accessories.

Jim this what I had suspected, thank you very much for the confirmation. I just wish I could be in Las Vegas to help you guys with the onslaught and meet the many members of this board. But I am very happy to have the work.

surprises. i looove surprises.

for those of us who can't make NAB--i'm working too--will there be someone minding the store, so that we can order more goodies? when i made my 2nd reservation in the open reservation window, i had to do most of the communication via e-mail, because the RED voice mail was full. will one of the 14 employees still be able to be as speedy with the trigger finger as the last time?

when you were just a lad, did you ever dream that so many people would be lining up to fling large sums of money at you?

Jim, my apologies for being obtuse, but gotta ask. For reservation holders, how exactly does the accessories (e.g. the current price-list) purchase work? Do we need to put in our order at NAB, or when we receive our 30-days-out notification? I want to keep my ducks all in a nice row, tx!
