  • 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 Rocket

takes a big person to apologize, kudos.

...Anyway back to the technology!!

Hey Jim, when can we look forward to this taking up a slot in my machine!?!?!

Is Red teamed up with a large company to offer this kind of technology? Nvidia or whatever?

How does it differ from these new, Massively Parallel GPU cards that seem to be designed for this type of debayering or highly repetitive encoding tasks?

Sorry if this seems like a noobie question.
 
Not in the slightest. Like EVERYTHING else in this industry, it's a simple matter of balancing the speed and efficiency of each task with the cost of doing so.

You will get equally fantastic results on an iMac as you will a fully loaded Mac Pro with Red Rocket, it will just take you longer.

As your invoices increase, so will your desire and ability to do things faster, hence the optional tools.

All is good and the revolution continues to be available to everyone.

But the bottom line is some people will make more by spending more, others just want a fantastic camera at the lowest cost.

Both are right and both will be VERY happy! :)

I can understand what an enormous boon this is for RED ONE and Epic customers, but I do have a question.

Does this mean that in order to edit video from the $4,000 3K Scarlet in real time, you will need a $3,300 Mac Pro (instead of my existing MacBook Pro) and a $5,000 box, or can less expensive solutions suffice for that market?

As a likely Scarlet purchaser I'm understandably concerned that the workflow solution will cost more than the camera!

Thoughts?

My guess is AJA might be involved, given Ted's history with that outstanding company...

As always, just a guess.

the head in the ass comment wasn't necessary, and i apologize.

but it was kinda funny.

anyways, i felt rex's post had a tone to it that did not warrant an 'i'm so sorry sir you are having difficulty with RED workflow, how can we help you?' so i opted for the 'head in the ass' response. sorry.

I found your response rightly appropriate. Nonsensical blabber shouldn't be met by sentiency... that is just a waste of intelligence. Better to tell them to unf$%# their head out of their ass and be done with it. That is the equivalent of giving them a wake up slap.

Hmm.. will this then give us SDI out for grading using SpeedGradeDI on the mac :-/

2010 is a sweet update.

I agree w Colin, let's get back to tech!

flameop: I am not so sure. I think the RR will uncompress and debayer but send the RGB to your graphic card over the PCI-e bus. So you will still need Nvidia SDI drivers. But what do I know?
 
IMHO, any card that will allow me to either push out a full debayer in realtime to my HD monitor, or to a 2k projector in the DI would be killer.
 
Question, will RED rocket only be able to work with RED footage or can I use it with other formats too? Basically my question is: will it replace the need for an AJA Kona card if RED isn't the only format I work with?

[SPECULATION]

DVS offers OEM boards. DVS has a realtime 4K debayer with Clipster now at NAB.

Bernhard Reitz, Head of Product Management at DVS:
"We have worked closely with RED to provide this revolutionary
workflow with CLIPSTER®. By processing full quality 4K 12 bit RED
material in real time with our hardware acceleration, our customers
can dramatically increase their productivity and flexibly organize
their workflows and content."

My guess is that RED wants to get something back from DVS for collaborating on the development. The same way they got REDCINE from Assimiate.

Well if this is the DVS board, that would be a HUGE coup!!!
 
This should go well with the new JVC 4K lcd monitor showing at NAB. It going to list for under 10K USD.

That was to suggest the obvious of where this could eventually go.

As far as I know this is a RED board - not a DVS board.

It is just speculation, Mark. I didn't mean to "out you" on this.
This is a RED board as far as I know, too...

As long as it works in SCRATCH and gives us realtime 4K high I really couldn't care less.

Additional PCI-Express in iMAC ? Doesn't seem probable, IMO.
