  • 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 :)

(Just want to be totally clear on this, since the 8X Fixed is a special beast at a special price, it's a little different from the rest of the DSMC system.)

The price on the 8X Fixed is so good (even with the increase) I just want to be sure of this point - all the included accessories are the same as the ones I'd buy if I was equipping an interchangeable lens model, right? No issues I'd have to deal with when I upgrade the body and lens?

Hey Karl! Welcome to REDUser.

It's my understanding that all of the modules are interchangeable. But I'm not sure what you mean re: upgrading the lens as it is a Fixed Zoom (not interchangeable).

Good to see you on here! All the best to you and your family!

Gimme a call sometime and we'll catch up...

[FONT=&quot]Per Ed and Brian's exchange, are we assuming that 28MB/sec is the data rate floor. Can it be lower?

I see the Red Drive available for $900. Since it holds 640 GB, looks like one might be able to get 380.95 minutes (6.3 hours) off of this drive at 28MB/sec. Will this Red Drive support faster frame rates? Is this a viable solution[/FONT][FONT=&quot]?[/FONT]

REDCODE records at a fairly consistent bitrate no matter what size frame you have chosen or framerate. This is why the increase to REDCODE 36 (from 28) most obviously benefitted higher framerate shooting (more bits per frame.)

Yes, a Red Drive will work with Scarlet. Yes it is fast enough to record REDCODE 28 (and also REDCODE 36). You can choose whatever resolution and framerate you want for that bitrate.

But can we record redcode 42 with this and sustain 120 fps? thats what im wondering because id much rather have just one drive then piles of cf cards.

I'd like to see a three-lens turret option on the Scarlet 2/3" that accepts the mini-primes. This shouldn't interfere with the board stack, right? It probably wouldn't interfere with the cooling system duct. Anyway, I think it would be a desirable option.

It's my understanding that the ol' Red Drive is essentially a mechanical RAID drive (with all the limitations, liabilities, vulnerabilities to shock, vibration, etc, therein), while the planned SSD drive will be faster and less prone to interruption from vibration, etc. My plan is to get the Scarlet fixed, then work up to the 5" LCD monitor and SSD drive. :-)

Yeah, the old 16mm Bell and Howell 70-D (indestructable tank) wind-up cameras, which I used in college back in the late 70's/early 80's, had turrets on them as well.

I'm quite fond of my '67 turret-front crank-equipped Konvas:

Do you guys even realize how un-fashionable those are?

GOSH!!!

Screw functionality... ;P

HAHA.. can you imagine one with the 18mm 35mm and 85mm RPPs? Are you macho enough to muscle that thing around? ;P

I doubt it will happen but it would be very nice to have one for 2/3", retro 3k acquisition FTW!
 
I was watching WWII in HD on the History channel and one of the shots featured a lens turret change in the middle of the take. It was a reminder that the cameraman was taking fire and he was no longer an observer of the action, he was a participant in the event and his survival was in doubt. Anyway, It was a most unusual effect, I wondered how would you replicate that using a digital camera? After Effects? Maya?
 
A mask gets displaced, to the left, complete blur, mask of shot with another lens comes masked from the right. Some comp to make it more organic (metal parts near the edge, etc) and finish it off with good sound effects.

hey cara.. someone deleted my copacabana joke because didn't get some people have summer when they have their winter ehehehehehe
 
I'll ask again in case it was missed in all the yeehawing excitement over turrets (loved my WW1 spotting scope with three turreted eyepieces, but the invention of zoom lens kinda knocked the wind out of the sails of the turret industry).

So I'll ask one more time just in case: will there be a numeric depth of field indicator in the GUI options?

Otherwise, I like the GUI very much.

Well, seeing as how my previous questions were passed over, I'll try again... :mellow:

(actually I prefer to think that they were so scary-poignant that Jarred dare not answer them for fear of revealing too much too soon! :wink5: )

So... datarates... Jarred any thought that the Redcode rate will range LOWER on the 3K cams?

The R1 at 28MBps looks great for the vast majority of situations, yet the Scarlet format has almost 50% fewer pixels. I know the rlationship isn't linear, but would an 15-180MBps rate be doable?

That would: 1) Increase the recording time for the media (almost 20 min on a 8GB CF card), and 2) make it easier for Red to qualify larger capacity media for the lower data rates.

Thanks.
