  • 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 :)

Proxy Module...

Awesome! Now there is absolutely no excuse for anyone to say that red footage is complicated in post (not that there was any excuse in the first place, but people still say it). If people want absolute simplicity, they have a simple h.264 clip.
 
My god...This is exactly what I needed. I was planning on doing a few live shoots with the Scarlet and this completely eliminates the need for most of the neccessary equipment. The H.264 1080p to CF will also be a plus to me. Now I just have to figure out a way to get an extra $2,500...
 
great

great

good job... good listening
great for eng/efp/documentary and for small productions / crew ...:seeya:
 
Kabooooom! we are on AIR! ;-)

Congrats, you still killing the market, no competition.
 
Monitoring over wi-fi, really? Is this a replacement for something like the Cam-Wave? Lovely.
 
This will finally make RED an viable option for fast turn around productions, like ENG, EFP and sports reportages.

Guys, you are awesome !!
This is THE module I've been hoping for in my wildest dreams, and it's even better !
Streaming to iPads, iPhones, laptops ? I can't even start to imagine how many iPad apps could be made that would build upon that feature.
$2500 ? That's half the price of a camwave... an iPad is less than $500, that's pretty cheap for an excellent lightweight (1.5 lbs), wireless 10' monitor with touchscreen, 10 hour included battery and app support.

I think I'm even more excited about this anouncement than about the stage 2 reservations thread...

This is really huge.
And I guess we'll see similar modules in the future for other formats, like ProRes or DNxHD ? Hopefully we'll be able to switch between formats, rather than having to buy a new module for each format. If possible, please make a module that can switch between DNxHD and ProRes.

Thank you.:thumbup1:
 
Jim, Jarred,

This is fantastic. I too would request a capture format that would be a little easier to edit, but please remember those of us on the "dark side" of computing. A format that works well for PCs would be good too!

This is one of the most exciting announcements I've heard
 
This is great news. I was just discussing that the ability to record both ProRes and RAW in the Alexa is going to be an advantage.

No more!

The option to record to a 4K intermediate codec (like Cineform 4K) will be even better.
 
This is an exciting announcement Jim and I'm sure you have more to come. H.264 seems like a logical choice but it's really not ideal for editing. How about prores or mxf?

Btw this is going to be a mess for the unions... Love to see how they figure this one out :) Video assists are gonna fight hard to keep playback in their domain but I hate to say their position feels more antiquated everyday.
 
Well f**k me. This module is awsome news. Especially for monitoring and streaming, as others have said, not the best format for editing proxies, though some other companies announcements at NAB might make it more feasible.

Any chance this will work alongside future proxy modules so we can use it for streaming/ on set monitoring and get say a proRes proxy from another module?
 
This news is NUTS!

Good thing I didn't see these news bits trickling in last night. I woulda never gotten to bed for today's flight to Vegas. Can't wait to meet the Chain Gang...
 
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Awesome, awesome news!

Thanks a million Jim, Jarred and the Red Team.
