  • 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 RAY no longer EARLY 2009?

Apropos hands full
Understatement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Understatement is a form of speech in which a lesser expression is used than what would be expected. This is not to be confused with euphemism, where a polite phrase is used in place of a harsher or more offensive expression.
Understatement is a staple of humor in English-speaking cultures, especially in British humour. For example, in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, a suburban dinner party is invaded by Death, who wears a long black cloak and carries a scythe. He is the Grim Reaper; the party is over; the guests must all go with him. "Well," says one party guest, "that's cast rather a gloom over the evening, hasn't it?" In another scene, an Army officer has just lost his leg. When asked how he feels, he looks down at his bloody stump and responds, "Stings a bit."

Notable historic examples

Event: The well-known Victorian critique of Cleopatra's behavior: "So unlike the home life of our own dear Queen!"
Event: Emperor Hirohito of Japan, discussing the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in his first radio broadcast (15 August 1945). Comment: "The war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan’s advantage."
Event: During the Kuala Lumpur to Perth leg of British Airways Flight 9 on 24 June 1982, volcanic ash causes all four engines of the Boeing 747 aircraft to fail. Although pressed for time as the aircraft rapidly lost altitude, Captain Eric Moody still managed to make an announcement to the passengers. Comment: "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress."
Event: A 2006 interview regarding current affairs in the Middle East with the Egyptian Foreign Minister. Comment by the Foreign Minister: "I think there's a problem between Shias and Sunnis". (BBC World Service, 23:50, Australian Eastern Standard Time, May 18, 2006)
Event: In 2008 RED introduced a revolutionary line of cameras. Comment by Firechief Jarred Land: "We kinda have our hands full right now..."

A few sayings spring to mind: "I" before "E", except after "C"; Form follows function; and now Acquisition before Exhibition. Red Ray is getting an UPGRAYYED! There's 6K cameras on the horizon.
 
RED RAY has been changed. It is now called RED RAY ALERT CINE COMMAND AND CONQUER (or RRACCC for short) and it is a modular system built of 100 parts which can play 4K, 2K, 1080P, 9K, 28K, 365K and ∞K depending on which model and brain you buy and in which state you live in.
 
∞K would probably destroy the earth and anything within a 1.21 light year radius.
 
Maybe Red Ray should use violet lasers or go to ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma rays! :sarcasm: With the 617 coming out you never know. :)
 
give them a break!!!!!!!!

They have come out with a lot of new ideas with this modular scarlet/epic stuff!!!!!!!

They probably now have to sit back and figure out where all this display/projector/Red Ray stuff will fit into the ecosystem with all the new 3k, 4.5k, 5k, 6k, 9k, and 28k stuff. And rightly so.

Let them sit on this one for a while.

It was a joke.:glare:
 
I'm still hoping to see some news on the plans and specs for the updated REDRAY.

I realize that RED's definitely "got their hands full" :-) , but if REDRAY is going through changes, it would be cool to have the same opportunity to give feedback about the design during the early development phase.

I imagine it is probably getting a bit lower priority with all of the DSMC and Mysterium-X work going on, but this is a product that can be very useful RIGHT NOW for RED1 users.

Having the ability to play 4K clips off of a low cost device to a 1080p monitor on set would be HUGE. Let alone the other functionality you would get with it's feature set.
 
oh don't worry... REDRAY development is very active inside RED.. quite a number of hours every day go towards it.

For some reason around here it doesn't seem like big news... at least not alot of people talking about it.

When you really look at it from 30,000 feet, it's not alot different then the cameras, in an odd kinda way.

Does that mean RedRay VTR is modular also and can be used at the same time with the Brains capturing on the fly? :devil:

Very cool. Glad to hear it is moving right along.

So, any chance of getting some updated specs or design changes? hehehe
 
I remember something about 4K displays and projectors also being announced at the time Redray was announced. What's the news about that?
 
I'm happy for them to just concentrate on the cameras at the moment but I will be wanting a RED_RAY at some point...and as for a 4K projector well...

I don't actually remember projectors and displays being confirmed, but please point it out if I am wrong (i would love a 4k projector!) :}
 
The most that has ever been "confirmed" about displays and projectors was during NAB '07. When RED was said to be developing their own 4K display and projector offerings. I don't think we have heard a peep about it since. I would like to think that they are working on such things, but I think they have their hands more than full just with camera stuff.

Yeah, I tend to believe that 4K Displays and Projectors got pushed WAY down on the priorities list, which is fine by me if they need those resources to get DSMC and REDRAY out the door.

Remember, back at that NAB '07, Scarlet was also announced as a Pocket Camera. :-)
