  • 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 :)

new RED Pro Program...

The spacer idea is a good one... prototyped a couple of weeks ago... but we had the advantage of seeing this before you guys did. :-)

Remember, we are not showing you the most current stuff. At least great minds do think alike.

I hope this hasn't been prototyped yet! I haven't seen anyone talk about it either so I thought it would be worth mentioning.

While looking at the recent shoulder rigs, I got the feeling that this might be a good idea for those that want to slim down their rigs and be as compact as possible as well as minimize attached equipment.

Basically, the idea is to hide an LCD, probably 3", within a module vertically and allow the LCD to swing out then rotate. On the right side, or top for that matter, have the display connection from the Brain; assuming the bus connector doesn't support displays, just bit stream. This would be a lightweight spacer as well, for those looking to move batteries and the Audio module to the rear.

What do you guys think?

KO
 
For the guys covering conflicts if the arm was made strong enough. Thats a neat idea. But I bet most would opt for the mounting capabilities of the super light Red LCDs.

Can't be. That'd be something like 850GB an hour. I think (at least up until now) Redcode numbers, like 28 and 36 for the RED ONE have been Mb/s (little b) meaning that its an 8th of the size, or about 100GB an hour.
Peace,

28 MB * 60 seconds * 60 minutes = 100,000 MBs/Hour

100,000 MBs == 100GBs

28 Mb * 60 * 60 / 10 = 10,000 MB/Hour

10,000 MBs = 10 GBs

You were right about the 100GB. Wrong about which adds up to 100GB.

4k @ 2.8MB/s would be insanely compressed.

Word. Thanks for settin it straight, Gavin. This stuff is confusing sometimes...

You're correct that it's 28 MB, not 28 Mb, and you're correct that if it was 28 Mb that would be insanely compressed.

One thing though : a byte is 8 bits, not ten, so 28 Mb * 60 * 60 / 8 = 12,600 MB/Hour , not 10,000 MB/Hour and 28 Mb would equal ~ 3.5 MB/s, not 2.8MB/s.

Of course that's assuming they're using "mega" to mean 1,000,000 like the International Standard of Units, hard drive manufacturers, and anyone who knows anything rather than the 1,048,576 binary meaning (which should actually be called a mebibyte) used by the dark side of the force.
 
I'm impressed with this latest round of announcements. It's almost like Jim thinks about what would make a great all round camera, listens to us bozos a little, and then implements the best ideas. In fact I think the last of my worries about these cameras (yes i sit at home and worry) have been addressed.

Roll on delivery.

I think we need a sticky that encapsulates all the wisdom that Monsieur Jannard has offered to us and have it updated each time he speaks and send everyone there when somone asks the same questions that have been asked many times before.

I think that exists already, it's called "Find more posts by". Just click on a forum users name and look at all the posts they have made. I have to admit, I'm quite guilty of stalking Jim and Jarred in this way. Let's me get right to the goods :biggrin:

The modules can go anywhere you want within the distance of the cable which does have a limit. Anybody been reading my posts?

That is understood, but since there's no media module announced I assume that the drives and cards are implemented in either the I/O module or the battery. If it's, in this case, is with the I/O it doesn't seem clever. That's all I'm saying. I'm not complaining. I'm just informing worries in the design as a constructive criticism.

Sorry... I don't understand what your asking. Try agin and I'll listen better.

If you are asking if there are media modules... we have shown many renders (and a couple of pics) that have them, both in back modules and a side module.

You can see the CFCard module in most renderings. It's usually flush with another module. I'm uncertain as to how its data connected though. Since there doesn't seem to be a dataport on the side of the brain in any rendering I've seen. So it's probably a case of the "Magical Invisible Ad Cable" where everything is 'wireless' through art direction. :D or else it's just not decided yet and not shown in any renderings on the sides of brains or IO modules.
 
Do you see any cover plates in any of the renders?

Unless you choose to separate the modules from the body (or other modules)... no cables necessary.

Jim
 
Hey Jim, just wanted to say thanks for answering all these questions, even the occasional redundant or not as insightful ones. It's still all good reading.
 
So the left side of the Brain can take a different cover plate which can hold two CF cards?

The renders of the shoulder mounted DSMC shows (in its biggest set up) all these separate Modules (aside from the Brain, RedMote, EVF, LCD and handles):

1. Sound and video taps
2. Solid State Magazine/HDD
3. Two CF slots
4. Batteries

I am still trying to figure out which is the picture showing a CF slot... it is a little hard with pictures and renders spread out through a few threads. If anyone knows pls remind me.

I think you are going to sell a lot of those cables. Lots of reasons to separate those modules - real problem solving technique.
 
Justin, yea, that's where I get the side plate thing for the brains. But that is a render. So either Jim posted an other picture I missed or he forgot that this was a render.

If I have to go back and find where I said it was a module... you are going to the back of the line for delivery. :-)

Trust me, it is a separate module. I should know. I have seen it in person. I have posted as such. If you missed it, I'm confirming it now.

Jim
 
And another thing... plenty of pictures have been posted showing a "Brain" only. With no recording modules connected.
