  • 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 :)

Questions..?

Hard to make any guesses in the media game.. things change so fast. lets see how the 32GB cards do :)

Native ISO of Dragon we will announce a bit later.

Don't forget to show footage too :)
 
RED PRO MASTER PRIMES?

New RED PRO ZOOM 50-150mm?
 
Oh boy. Questions!

1. How are those cool-looking FF automatic zoom lenses + RedMote Pro things going? I want them like a creature that wants things very much!

2. Have the color filters changed for the Dragon or Monstro sensors? I would love to know if the awesomeness of color rendition, especially skin, in varied lighting conditions, is going to improve with the new sensor.

3. Since you guys control both distribution (RedRay) and projection (laser awesomeness)... any chance we'll get an easy way to make a film that has metadata that says:
"HEY, THIS SHOULD BE SHOWN WITH 709 COLORS" or "HEY, SHOW THIS WITH FULL LASER COLOR PRIMARIES" and the projector will switch to the right mode?
Is there any way we can have a "backwards-compatible" LUT option so that if content is designed with full laser color primaries but the viewer only has a 709 TV, RedRay can convert?

4. Since I want to make films that use the full color gamut of the Red laser, how close are its color primaries to the Mitsubishi LaserVue projector or the very-similar NHK 8K color gamut? EG this is the NHK 8K (SHV) standard:

Thanks, Jarred!

Does this mean you guys figured out HDRx at 4k/24fps? There was talk of that back in November. Wondering if any progress has been made.

Excellent news on 120fps and the new resolutions.

I second this question.
Also any chance of getting 5K at 24fps on Scarlet... perhaps with the Dragon update?
 
Jarred, thanks so much for doing this!

Will Dragon upgrades be handled by delivery date or first come first serve?

interesting...still i'd like to hear from them. Officially like wow good job...or its about time...not good enough..or they ponied off our users who were alienated by the price increase. They just took that market.

Observing from afar (I couldn't make it to NAB this year) I think RED has had a good show. A lot of really great announcements with estimated shipping dates on many of them. I think RED has matured in many ways, in particular with the manufacturing process. Jim and Jarred have taken this to heart. They wanted things to ship faster than any of us. Now they are getting to the point where they are hitting their marks and that is great to see.

What other camera companies do only is a factor for RED if they get complacent and sit on their hands. I don't see them doing that. Jarred and Jim will probably get out of the game before that happens. To me, they seem comfortable with their market. Indy filmmakers who get what RED is all about, and the professional market, where it's less about price and more about performance and getting the most performance for your money. If they wanted the low end market, they could have released a lower end camera by now. I personally don't think they are interested in compromising.

So, although threads have been deleted and I'm sure there may be some WTF rumblings, I'd be surprised if RED was running scared about the BM camera. Especially in wake of all the 4K discussion happening at NAB from what I can tell.

1st off - damn you guys are killing it. Didn't post anything because it would have been the same on all threads: "Awesome!"

Question: wireless video, live stream - does the Meizler Module do this? Or is it the other module only you're working on? ETA on this one? Can't be soon enough. Also: what's the streaming technology? Differently put: any chance for monitoring the camera's signal on an iPhone / iPad?

Man I wish I could be in Vegas right now, but our EPIC is working non stop. I blame you for me not being there... :)

Meizler module will do this... right now it doesn't but it will by the time it ships. It uses the same protocol as the standalone wireless module so the receivers will work the same.. and you can do multiple transmitters/receivers on the same set.

Iphone and Ipad streaming is not the best yet because of the lag built into the IOS protocol.... its the problem all these great solutions like teradeck have. Hopefully someone will figure that part out.
 
Can you answer these questions about the Pro=IO:
http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?77181-PRO-IO&p=988372&viewfull=1#post988372

Its specifically about three outputs on the bottom.
1- The Time code lemo- Is this the same wiring config as Red One?
2- The 4 Pin GPI port- Is this also identical to Red One? (for example I have several preston cables that both power and trigger start/stop via this port on Red One)
3- What is the AUX port?

Assuming the answer to 1 and 2 is yes, this would be great news!!
 
Loving all the NAB anouncements by RED. Amazing, simply amazing. Even more amazing is that you are taking time out to answer questions from us here!

Quick question, is 3k hdrx at 25fps on Scarlet a possibility for those of us in PAL land?

And there goes another 13K... Thanks Jarred :)
 
Any reason why the Dragon sensor wont be in 4:3 (FF35) aspect ratio? I love to upgrade the sensor, but I would also love some extra height while your at it? :) Damn, it why not make it 6K pixel height once and for all at the same time since you always know people want more haha..
 
We love Blackmagic.. we been fans of them for years. It is nice to have another company in the game that is willing to shake things up and not follow the "rules" :)
