  • 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..?

In addition to the wireless video, have you thought of a simple monitor/EVF cable extender? An extender that allowed to take the LCD/EVF to the limits of the Redmote range would make already a big difference.

One of my old wishes since the early days of R1 is the possibility to add an R3D frame with adjustable opacity as a layer above the monitor image.

Close to starting up a new production company, and very close to getting our Epic gear. NAB has only made me more excited and confident in our RED-ness. =D

I have to ask, and please no one stone me, is the FF, 645, and the mystical 617 still in the pipeline? Also, would it be possible (theoretically) to use the Epic/Scarlet Brain as a Rocket, if the Rocket is essentially (as was once described), the back half of the camera? And the last, will there be the "true stills mode" that Ted described in the 10 Questions video on RED.com?

Thanks for taking the time to converse with your userbase, innovate the industry, destroy the competition, and inspire seasoned and new filmmakers/photographers alike.

Still in the pipe.. but focused on DRAGON right now.

The Rocket is a PC card you put in your Mac or PC and it accelerates the playback and conversion of your 4k/5K RED footage.. so you can play back footage in real time and transcode in realtime.

The stills mode concept has changed. It seemed like a good idea way back when, but in practice, almost all of the still photographers just shoot motion and pull stills from the feed... it is just a way better way to do it. For sharper frames, people use HDRX in a different way, they use the HDRX track that has a narrow shutter for pulling sharp stills.. and then use the normal track for video with motion blur.

Does it (Edit: the wireless transmitter) broadcast metadata too? Lens info? Start stop flags to trigger devices like the Pix recorders? With File names? Timecode? Clean feed only or can you select overlays?

Is this also to be part of the Redmote Pro?

Thanks. Yes, Dolby and Texas-I are highly secretive about their technologies. I work in an independent cinema and when we went digital even the installation technicians said they weren't told everything. We currently use the Christie CP2000 projector but the RED projector looks comparitively compact and prompted me to wonder if a DOLBY filter wheel would fit inside. The cost of the glasses is also a big issue for us. Are they cheap eniough to sell to patrons? Are they equal to better than DOLBY? Will there be a royalty charge like REAL-D adds, etc

Thanks for the answers.

We're definitely going to be getting the Rocket, and one of the Thunderbolt-adapters, I just meant theoretically, if there were a Thunderbolt (or similar) port on the Epic/Scarlet, could it be used in the same fashion?
 
If there's no stills mode coming, will we be able to set markers during the shoot?

R90 is a tripod head to move from horizontal to portrait mode. nothing else. ok, and it does so smoothly ;)

Oh, I saw it pictured with the wireless transmitter and took the wrong name like a dope. My questions relate to the transmitter.
 
Can we set up a wish list for firmware improvements? Or who do we turn to for that?

as in:
get the ability to set markers during shoots, favorably via redmote.
use the LCD Menu keys to directly access the functions / settings and set via scroll wheels without having to confirm twice via the enter key.

sorry this is not NAB related, but I would ask you if I were standing next to you ;)

He meant the new wireless module. :) They were both mentioned together earlier so I can understand the confusion.

There isn't a separate topic yet (I don't believe) for the wireless module, so my guess is a lot of people don't even know such a thing was announced. As you can imagine, they're just slightly busy over there. :)

i thought you could set markers with the side handle?

options are good, though.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound rude. :) just too many things running in my head. the wireless transmitter doesn't have a special name yet as far as I know.
