new RED Pro Program...

[Roberto Lequeux]

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.

Jim

NOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo.......

But I guess it is only fair as you probably should cost enough to buy a DSMC every minute. Though I never really saw you as an economy-busting fat cat, you are probably the only employee working without a salary at this point.

Thank you Jim for answering the same crap over and over. Maybe go ahead and lock it... that usually makes people pay closer attention to the exact Red team posts? And please let me know if I should ship you a bottle of something to make it back onto the regular list. :bye2:

We're still good...

How far between modules?

How far between modules?

Jim,
how far can the modules be removed from the brain are we talking inches or feet or yards?

For remote head work using slip rings for monitoring output, where the size of the camera is an issue and audio not essential, do we just need brain and recording module? or is there a separate monitoring module? (bearing in mind it may not be possible to put EVF through slip rings a HDSDI out could be required)

Good, cause if timing works out we might be some of the first features shot on Scarlet, next winter. S35 if delayed a bit, and maybe even FF35 if you are bluffing Sony about delays. :devil:


I almost quoted this earlier:

Jim we actually wait till you get a little mad as a confirmation...

Take a break man. I think we are good here. You gave us a lot of info, some major eye candy, and you clarified quite a bit of things. Don't let pleasing our curiosity take you away from R&D. :watsup: Though if that's what is needed at this point, then I think it is fair to say it is working very well... you got our attention still. And lot of us are not spending a dime till DSMC comes out.

Any more candy coming our way, or are we done for now?

Plenty of time for these details...

[Kenneth Elkington]

The arm mountered Redhandle looks awesome, and it's exactly what I was looking for. Will it have the same controls as the standard redhandle?

EDIT: Also, will it be able to contain a battery like the other?

 

[Jannard]

More details down the road... work to do now.

Hi Jim

Could you let us know if the Prime Set will be sold in order of reservations.

I got in earlier when they were announced but can't remember if they were serial numbered.

Just trying to determine when I'll be able to pick up a set.

Thanks
Rory

 

[Shane Betts]

Just to save anyone being bumped down the list...

 

[Jason Sinclair]

All primes should be T1.9 except the 300mm and possibly the 14mm. We are looking close at that one. The extra cost of making the 14mm T1.9 might be hard for our customers to swallow. Jury is still out.

Jim

Try us

 

[Tim Whitcomb]

Thanks for posting that Shane, I do think people in their enthusiasm, forget about the red.com website where this stuff was announced months ago

 

[Peter Majtan]

Try us

He already did...
Now all the primes are T1.8 and the cost is exactly "0" more...

Peter

 

[Sergio Perez]

Nothing new today?

 

[Lee Saxon]

If making certain lenses 1.8 would make them crazy expensive, why not do a "for the masses" version and a "we sell 3 a year" version?

Nikon makes a $1400 300mm f/4 for mere mortals like myself and a $5000 300mm f/2.8 for people who really need the speed. They also used to offer 28mm as one of their cheapest lenses ($250 for 28mm f/2.8) and as their most expensive under 300mm ($1800[!] for 28mm f/1.4), but they gave up on the latter in '06.

No worries Tim. It's easy to forget this stuff in all the excitement. Jim and the guys get us all so worked up with their gear porn we forget which side is up.:wacko:

I think the idea for a wiki is a great one but could it ever replace the [insert number] times daily checking back to see what the Red Wizards have come up with now? It's an addiction that's hard to shake.

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

While I think it's an interesting idea Kevin, especially for a run-and-gun type of rig, there is a technical flaw (see image below) that would have to be overcome first to make this idea work in one of the following ways:

1. The LCD would have to be a fair bit smaller to allow clearance of the bottom edge of the module when being sung in. (The LCD would then be to small for my own personal liking).
2. If the LCD were left the same size the hinge would need to pull out sung down and then slid in to allow clearance of the bottom edge of the module. (If not designed very strong the hinge "track", that would allow it to be pulled out, might be susceptible to warpage over time.)
3. If the LCD were left the same size the bottom of the module would have to remain open to allow the LCD clearance to swing in. (This would not make for a strong module especially one that could support weight hung off the back of it.)

Great Anticipation for 3D Renderings

Great Anticipation for 3D Renderings

Hi Jim,

I was just hoping to see some renderings and info. on the 3D configurations. I think there's a good number of us waiting for that specifically. Details such as what will be specifically tailored to this goal and if there will be any package that will allow a reduction in price when this is the package (i.e., when there will be a necessity of 2 brains and all the trimmings).

Also, will this be a possibility immediately with the release of the first scarlets or will this solution have to wait a bit longer?

Thanks,

Steven

An easier way would be to mount the screenon a certral pivot/slipring.This would then attach to a panel on runners that allows the assembly to move within the housing module. The screen would be portrait for storage, and rotate landscape for use.

That being said, Red already have a great range of monitors and the renders show more on the way. I'd rather have the ultimate flexibility of mounting a screen on an arm rather than a less mobile setup, even if it is slightly easier to store.

I agree with you, I personally prefer REDs current setup... I was commenting that this idea would have to be thought through a little more before it would be a feasible approach. Your idea would probably be the best solution if it were to ever be made. Good thinking, even if I don't want one.

I would love it if it snapped out like a switchblade, sound and all, or like Neo's cellphone.
