new REDCODE for faster RAM drives?

[Erik Greensmith]

With my Pure Speculation Sense tingling, I modestly assume that a read/write speed of 160 MB/s should be entirely possible with two RAIDed SSDs. If the Red RAM drive can meet this bandwidth, will we see a REDCODE72 to match?

AFAIK there will be nothing higher than RC36, it does not depend on the write speed of the storage but on the processing power of the RED ONE that is limited to 36MB/s.

ok... Jarred, do you mean that there might be less compression in the coming future?

 

[Jarred Land]

sorry, thats not what i meant by the smiley face, i can see how it could be read like i was being coy

 

[Martin Jäger]

so why the smile ?

Lighter compression generally requires less processing power. And the SATA interface external magazines connect through should be more than fast enough for a substantially higher data rate.

So, it seems technically plausible, at least from the outside. (Which is, admittedly, a very large caveat.)

This would be nice for that shot with full frame water or tree leaves all moving...I have seen the limit of compression, super wide shots with water don't do well....would be awesome to get a little higher bitrate for that special shot...although I have not tested this type thing on build 16 yet...

Once you hit 3 or 4 to 1 compression, then you've got it made. HD-SR is around 3:1, and it's pretty hard to tell from uncompressed. Read: nearly impossible.

The less compression the better, for many applications.

So the data rate is limited. http://www.reduser.net/forum/showpost.php?p=190465&postcount=6

Tried the exact thing on B16 also and I agree with Obin.
