  • 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..?

I also almost Forgot Jarred...Any upcoming additional FPS rates on our SCARLETS? heheheh

Jarred,
Thanks so much for the hard work and outstanding products. You guys have changed our business for the last 3 1/2 years!
I'm hearing RCX-Pro will be able to output to an external broadcast monitor. How far in the future is this build? What cards will be initially supported? How will new cards be implemented?
Thanks for the love to those who couldn't get there this year!

power management just moved about 10 notches higher... heh heh heh :)

Thanks! I have been powering mine with gerbils in wheels while charging redvolts.

I heard Jarred say that firmware will include gyroscope activation. Can somebody please tell me why i should be excited about this and what it means practically? Would love to know how this little feature will help or add to shooting. Thanks

This is one of the big reasons I bought Scarlet - with apropriate software internal GYRO can do a real magic on postproduction stage :)

We will let those guys speak when they are ready :)

I normally try to avoid adding to the back half of the signal/noise ratio, but I have to say:
If gyro metadata eliminates the incredibly time-consuming process of image analysis for motion tracking, that's one fantastic leap forward. I always imagined it would come, but didn't think it was actually in development.

Also, a few questions/comments I didn't get a chance to ask (you were pretty swamped when I was in the booth). Apologies if they've been covered already... I did look, but I haven't had the time to go through every page of every NAB post.
a) it'd be lovely to see the RCX SDK incorporated into Iridas, now that it's part of CS6. There will always be a need for RCX, but it'd be nice to leverage the cross-app suite integration that Adobe is really excelling at.
b) now that there's a forthcoming OLED EVF, what's the status on dealing with the dreaded milky blacks on the current EVF? It's my only display (waiting for the 9"... my eyes are too old for 5") and honestly, it's almost impossible to figure out what you're actually getting.
c) will the new Turbo SSDs also offload media at 'turbo' speeds? (I'm assuming there will be a Thunderbolt media reader, which means we'll no longer be throttled by the FW800 speed limit...?)

Pretty wonderful set of announcements. Great party, too. Big thanks for that.
 
My question is how do you do it all :)? And also I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you...Revolution and Evolution all rolled up into one neat transparent bundle....thanks to everyone at RED... Scarlet 401 and I are really enjoying the ride.
 
Talking about different battery modules - if anything I would really like to see a rear-facing module that will clip on the back of the camera and allow for 2x REDVOLTs or 1x REDVOLT-XL to be inserted from the rear - just the way the RED BRICK snaps onto the Meizler module, if you catch my drift...

And talking about power - more people should be pushing up the POWER MANAGEMENT priority. If bunch of elephants from Africa can scare Jarred to push it up by 10 notches - if we all attack with all we have got - it should be done yesterday...
I am willing to send group of agents hiring for Japanese Game Shows (that alone should scare up 100 notches), followed by couple of "elder" ladies from Kansai area (which should just about kill any queue left...)

And YES - big THANK YOU to Jarred for this (and other) threads and the whole RED TEAM for the great work...

CHEERS

Jared, were you just trying to get your post count up? Jim gotcha on a quota? hehe

Seriously, great thread!

Based on earlier comments I have a feeling this has already crossed their minds, but one has to be careful with how many "rear facing" modules are designed... you can only have one in the chain and you restrict the use of other terminating devices like the REDMOTE. Of course you could clamp a REDMOTE somewhere else, but that means it won't be getting charged... and the battery life of the 'mote is pretty limited as it is. Mostly, though, I'm curious what such a module would net you besides a minor amount of length (which would be negated with the use of an XL battery). Not criticizing, just curious.

Mr. Land,

I apologize for asking more than one question, and this question but I have come up with a second one.

Can you add more than one SSD module onto a camera, and choose your poison on how they interact with each other? Say, either spanning or instant back up?
Click to expand...

spanning for now..
 
Next build will also have " Target Redcode " where you set your target and it will get as close to it as possible. This allows you to switch to a higher framerate, shoot at maximum redcode, then switch back to a normal frame rate and it will automatically jump back to that target. No more " damn switched back to 24fps and left it at 12:1 "

thanks for the kind words Phil.. welcome to the family :)
 
That is an excellent feature!

I am new to the Red family, but not new to the craft, and I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the way you guys push features out to the salivating masses through firmware builds! Thank you so much for the hard work; your lost sleep is not lost on me.

(Looking forward to overcranking at 120fps. Fun.)
