Questions... answers.

Hi Jim

Few questions:

Will the RED bricks still be available when Epic & Scarlet are out?
Can you tell us a bit more about the touch focus LCD? Do they work like the iPhone touch focus where you have to keep touching the screen to focus or will they be able to do focus tracking whilst keeping subjects in focus at all times?
You've said that EPICs are getting made in the US - whats your estimation of how many you will be able to produce per month?

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Steve

Yes to REDbricks
Just as you would hope.
Depends on the orders. We expect to sell a lot of EPICs.

Few lens questions:

A. 17-50 is a worthy replacement for the 18-50. Can we expect (and estimated ETA if YES) the same for 50-150?

B. Will the two above light-weight zooms cover the 5K Epic sensor?

C. Any plan for compact range of electronic (RED mount) lenses specifically designed for S3D?

D. Any update on further primes to join the family?

Thank You for Your time and congrats on the bug killing...

:thumbsup: Peter

Fixed image vs non fixed with mini primes. Can you comment on the comparison if in fact one has been made ?

But running multiple cables in a studio/ live IMAG situation can be troublesome, plus, there is no fixed return or intercom or any of those loved features of a triax system. Any way to incorporate a tally notification?

Getting a tally back to the camera is pretty trivial - either via wireless, Ethernet or GPI contact closure.

But I see your point about a CCU like controls through a computer- the ability to match the 'painted' look live is key...

HDSDI and ethernet can be multiplexed over fiber.
And audio could be sent over ethernet. There's lots
of flexibility to add capability without designing new hardware.

So...HDR mode...? Is it going to happen with released EPIC's?

 

[Jarred Land]

Assuming that REDCODE 250 stands for "2.5":1 does that equate REDCODE 42 to "4.2" (or less likely "42") :1

This will be cleared up very soon...

 

[Jannard]

Sorry... doing the best we can here. Hard to keep up. Please don't comment unless you have a question and please don't ask a question unless it is burning a hole in your head.

Thanks,

Jim

 

[Scott Webster]

How far along are you with the Monstro sensor program?

 

[Jannard]

Not on release. Shortly (hopefully) after.

Resolution of the 2.8" Red LCD? Enough to pull focus on the 3K Scarlet?

 

[Brigham Edgar]

Also, as the MX sensor has been out for near on 6 months...and if i remember it was approximately 12 months after MX before Monstro...does this mean we could be seeing things moving on a Monstro brain in the next 6 months...for both EPIC and Scarlet? FF is where things are pulling big demand...

 

[Jannard]

A FF sensor would be nice with the RED pro anamorphics. How is the Monstro program moving along?

Saw 1st images from slice. Impressive.

Jim

This is very very very exciting...

 

[Robert Holt]

Any expected price changes at this stage for the Scarlet fixed?

Assuming that REDCODE 250 stands for "2.5":1 does that equate REDCODE 42 to "4.2" (or less likely "42") :1

2.5 to 1 is the compression ratio.

REDcode 42 = ~7.5:1
REDcode 36 = ~9:1
REDcode 28 = ~10:1

 

[John Terendy]

Sorry to ask again; Red Pro Prime 14mm news?

 

[Peter Majtan]

Another S3D questions:

A. Will the RED-RAY (PRO) support the playback of stereo R3D footage?
B. Can we sync two RAD-RAYs (normal) for the playback of stereo R3D footage?

Of course stereo need a lot of work in post before it can be seen properly, but having real-time HW platform to quickly review the RAW shots will go a long way in any S3D production...

Thanks again

Peter

 

[Zach Gray]

Can you talk more about the bug?

I know it's not particularly relevant now that it has been fixed, and probably over most of our heads, but I'm interested in it because it sounds like a good story...

 

[Jannard]

Now that the firmware bug seems under control, what concerns you the most going forward?

How complicated this project is and how little things can bite you in the ass. Not to worry... that's our job.
