  • 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 :)

RED RAVEN - Info and Data Sheets

Ben Scott said:
So is everyone in 25fps-land, basically the rest of the world outside the US, missing out on 3:1 compression like 3k on the Scarlet being 48fps but not 50fps and so therefore unusable, or can we all get involved in the loveliness?

Before this gets lost in a 1000 page thread, does anyone know about this? What is the lowest compression at 4k 25fps?

I'm really bad with math, so to figure out what my lenses are in relation to my FS7 (Super 35mm 1.5x crop compared to FF), should I go 1.76 - 1.5 = 0.26

So an 11mm Tokina would be 11mm x 1.26 = 13.86 mm on the Raven?

Is that correct? Or is that just totally off?

11mm on 1.5x is 16.5mm
11mm on 1.76x is 19mm <-- Raven

11 is 11.

11 on Raven at 4kHD has approx same fov as 13.2 on S35 1.78:1
Common focal lengths used on S35 are: 18-25-35-50-85
Equivalent angles on Raven 4kHD are, approximately: 15-21-29-42-71
 
Any news on the v mount base expander weight? For me a big appeal to this camera is the weight. But without a power port built into the body you cant use the camera stripped down to the bare bones. Is there any talk of just a power module? All i need is power port so i can run a battery as counter balance on glid cam or on my belt.

Phil, any mention of the bird's power draw in your chat with Jarred?
Click to expand...

Nope, but since RAVEN is using a 4K Dragon sensor rather than 6K or 8K, I imagine there could be some power savings.
 
Phil, in some forums some people say 120fps@4k 13:1 will be really noisy. what do you think?
Also, do you think they will keep the anamorphic mode locked ?

Thanks in advance,

cheers

Me very interested too

It's been fun reading some of those replies as well :)

The truth in how good 4K 120fps footage at REDCODE RAW 13:1 will look largely depends on how you shoot it. Meaning how you expose for it. ISO plays a role here as does "everything".

There is no "one answer" to this equation. If something is shot well it will look good. We've seen very nice quality 4K 120fps in the past. Raven will deliver that as well if exposed for properly.
 
I have used several times a RED+battery + follow focus+Cooke S4 on a M5 and it worked perfect.

If we are talking "traditional" FF35, let's crop that to a FF aspect ratio of 1.90:1 because we care about width more than anything.

That should be 1.76x relative to FF35 and 0.83x relative to S35.

Sorry for picking this up again but I got a bit confused here.
The Raven has a 4K Dragon sensor - so it's a smaller version of the original 6K Dragon sensor and not that one just cropped in, right?
Cause I used the REDTools app to figure out the crop factor (Dragon 6K sensor at 4K) and it states a crop factor of 1,49x
I take it this information only applies to the originak 6K Dragon sensor cropped and not the new 4K Dragon sensor?!

There is no "new" Dragon sensor. What is in Raven is the Dragon sensor, just the 4K FF format and sensor size.

Here, this might help:

So that means there is a full 6K Sensor in the Raven but the internal boards etc restrict it to the "4K crop" ?!
Therefore the crop factor should be 1.49x (if the REDTools app isn't lying to me)
That would also mean that THEORETICALLY there could be an update to use the full 6K in the future.

Raven has a 4K cut-out of the 6K (and eventually 8K) Dragon sensor.

Scarlet Dragon has the same size 6K sensor as Epic Dragon. Scarlet MX has the same size 5K MX sensor as Epic MX. The Scarlets just shoot less than 24fps when using the full sensor size.

Raven does not have a 6K sensor inside. It has a 4K sensor.
