Thanks for offering this ground for RED owners and fans alike. I am a curent SMPTE Hong Kong section manager, and a RED owner/1647, 1648. We alos have 2 set of Arri standard primes and accessaories to support filming work. Building a special rig for 3D stereoscopic work. 2K RED stereoscopic vision under Dolby Digital cinema mastering is available. Now we serve Asian Red filmmaker/users’ on their RED movie pojects to come.

I hope Build 16 will work out well, and we then could have a party. An Alternative RED user meeting..

Stewart,

Be careful. There is lively discussion, and there is a personal attack. I can see Jarred's mouse finger getting twitchy.

Hi Percy,

Great to hear from you, and thank you for the kind words.

In SE Asia, we actually have a few customers in HK, and also in Manila, Bangkok, KL, and Singapore.

We should set up a chat with Choy, you, and me! Contact me off list...

Thanks I will do that :construction:
I have been communicating with Choy, and has been comparing his costing with others??

Other information shown here earlier in RED in Hong Kong, as the other mails, have been mis-informing
I choose not to react,
I will keep on to promote the UHDTV 1 workflow with selected professional, as to enhance my effort and knowledge.

Percy. :)
 
Again not to use the word or terminology of " UHDTV " and it is very misleading to non-professionals that RED is 7680x4320pixel !!!!

This is wrong. Why not just use " 4K " or actually is
just 3.2K though !!! Did you know that "You can´t get 4K images from a 4k sensor." !!!

RED one cameras not not yet reached there.
Please read here at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_High_Definition_Video

or read below :

By Yoshiko Hara

TOKYO — NHK ( STRL ) Science and Technical Research Laboratories has demonstrated virtual satellite broadcasting of ultra-high definition (UHD) TV, which promises resolution 16 times higher than current high-definition images.

NHK terms the technology as Super HiVision featuring 7680x4320 pixel resolution with progressive scanning at 60 frames per second. STRL, the central laboratory of Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) showed off the images at the NAB show held in Las Vegas last month, using fiber optic cable for transmission.

Researchers brought the technology a step closer to reality by verifying signal transmission in a simulated satellite broadcasting and demonstrating it at the lab's open house earlier this week.

Japan is assigned with the 21-GHz band for future satellite broadcasting. If UHDTV broadcasting were to begin, satellite broadcasting would be feasible due to availability of a wide bandwidth. The UHDTV signal was compressed, modulated and went through an up-converter, then sent to an experimental 21-GHz-band satellite transponder that amplifies and relays signals on a satellite. The signal then passes through a down converter, where it is demodulated and decoded for display.

NHK has not set the specifications for the next generation broadcasting system, but is using Super HiVision as the research base. Presently, the data rate of Super HiVision baseband signal is 24 Gbits per second. Using 16 MPEG-2 encoding chips, the signal was compressed to 250 Mbits per second for transmission. HDTV signals at present are 1.5 Gbits per second for baseband and 20 Mbit per second for compressed signals.

In the experiment, the compression was dependent on MPEG-2. Lacking a single-chip solution, the researchers used four modulators to compress the audio and video signals in the experiment.

Researchers plan to develop an optimum compression technology for Super HiVision and develop a higher performance modulator that can handle 300 Mbps signals.
 
Another RED shooting again tomorrow.
Trying to apply CDL on set.

Now the 2 set of camer is with
