I love crap like this!! I'm sure there will be more spoilers and Jim will not like that.. Me I LOVE IT... Why? Cause all "big deals" get secrets cracked.. It's one way to know you have people's interest..

Understand I am not supporting anything illegal.. I am just a fan who LOVES "secret" information.

See ya!

that probably broke some NDA they signed, but AWESOME news!

Well, they haven't disclosed anything except that there's something to be disclosed, and not until NAB! :innocent:

We know they know, but we don't know what they know...:w00t:
 
Rodney Charters is an especially interesting choice given the fact that he tested the JVC HDV camera with a couple of those 35mm lens adapters on the set of 24.

I won't be surprised if he comes in with a rave review on Red One especially if the latitude claims turn out to be true. After all, we already know its sharp as hell so that's the only thing hanging out there.

I am about to crap my pants waiting for NAB.

That would be kind of difficult. Fox is 720p.

No, my friend, you are sadly mistaken. I can instantly tell the difference in my TV as I set it to show 720p without stretching. Fox in Los Angeles is full 1080 for all the big shows including 24. Some big shows on other networks (Extreme makeover Home edition) are 720 but 24 is definately 1080.
 
Fox is 720p, but the signal gets converted to 1080i when it reaches your TV.
I don't know if it's the set top box or the local station or the cable companies facilities that do it.

My projector shows 1080/60i for 24. That said, this show would definitely reveal how well the RED stands up in low light. 24 has been getting darker and darker as the seasons go.

According to IMDB, Rodney Charters's Nickname is "Prince of Darkness" - I assume in a good way!
 
We tried to work the HVX into that JVC test on 24 but Showreel was being a real pain in the ass. I wouldn't be surprised if this is just them assuming they'll get an early owner to cooperate. If anyone at Showreel contacts you avoid them unless they at least provide full insurance (which they would'nt last time) and incude your name in the article so that at least you can have some free press. Rodney is a fantastic DP and I'd love to see what he can do with the Red but it's not worth risking your investment for someone elses gain.

Nope. Your fox may be 720, but mine is definately 1080. I know the difference of receiving 720 or 1080 as my TV always letterboxes 720 (the way I set it up). Honestly I am a super geek (CTO for a global company) and this is stuff I really know about.

Also, for reference, American Idol is definately live 1080--I can definately see the difference.

Eric,
Besides old Scratch himself, "Prince of Darkness" is reserved for Lucas electricals.
