scratchcine controlled like a VTR

[Mat@imageWork]

Evangelos,

I've you spoke to drastic? Maybe they will have interest to implement realtime r3d debayering capability for their Titan series, with RS422...I'm waiting for a call back

 

[Evangelos Achillopoulos]

Mat the guys are real, and very active...

If they do that, it would be perfect... R3D SDK can help them...

I'm happy that something good come out of this...

Mike, Luki

Everything started from this:

"Think of SCRATCH-CINE as a RED Deck, or a Virtual Telecine."

"Now... if you think of this as a RED Deck and compare... try to get even something simple like a Digibeta for 30K. How about D5, or HDCAM-SR? : )"

These come from the thread http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11351, posted by Lucas.

False expectations... none is reading the specs so thoroughly to make a buy after these kind of statements...

XSI ohh please, its on the first place in gunnies records for beta testing, guess who is second!!!... Gmail its not in our industry... and it works really good...

REDONE from ver. 16 and up is a finished product, now is just regular upgrades that are very good with minor bugs and very good QA... And REDONE is hardware, there is no comparison with a software in terms of freedom to solve bugs...

REDcine sub forum has so many angry people... its evident with naked eye... it needs a monkey to do your job successfully Mike!!!

Mike and Luki, do you recall any software in our industry that has so many external piggyback software to do simple workarounds as REDcine, because of various bugs?

Does this reflect the quality of Asimilate written code?

Isn't it a shame, for Assimilate to have Crimson, Monkey and others just to solve simple bugs in REDcine?

Isn't it a shame to have a bustard* like me, to give you such hard time in a public forum?

*is the way, I suppose, you feel about me...

With the luck of solutions to do a proper RED export for months the last year, even my three years old son can tell you that a Scratch Cine would be a successful product...

The question is, for whom it was successful, for you Luki or for your clients? For you was 100% bullseye... for your clients apparently it wasn't...

Its time to go to silence again, to facilitate you guys, let's close our eyes to the problems one more time... lets do it like the three monkeys... nothing heard, nothing seen, nothing told... it is trendy these days...

I'm done with this particular thread. Evangelos, I'm sorry you don't like our business practices, and you clearly think we are misleading people.

I disagree.

Lucas I'm sorry, I don't like personal attack. I've tried to focus on solutions, not on find a "coupable".

Hope we will find one,

Best Mathieu

Hi Lucas

I am also one of those asking Assimilate for an external control, or RED for a hardware-RedVTR, it would make integration with existing non-data workflows (and workforce) easier.
I just wanted to add that the fact of asking for an extra feature cannot be interpreted as a negative overall judgment on the product:

We just finished the deal with Assimilate for a full Scratch System and we're excited to build our DI facility around Scratch.

My wish for this feature was not in anyway a reason not to go with the Scratch.
Hmm Bahamas :red_bandana: any plan to invite the users ? (I'd forget about RS422...promise)

Best
