Drives are cheaper... Flash is better.

If you ask any questions about shock ratings, weather resistance or security, skip right to Flash and do not use Drives. If you are CAREFUL and on a budget, Drives can serve you well.

FLASH- we wanted to give our customers as many options as possible with regards to Flash. There are three types of Flash types for on-board recording. We will sell a RED branded version of each, but our system is open to third party vendors as long as they sell products that meet our specs. We will always try to be priced to compete.

CF (Compact Flash). With the sppeds and capacity increasing dramatically before our eyes, we see CF as an alternative in the near future so we are providing for it now. You will HAVE to carefully select CF that meets speed specs (we'll help you out) and select a "standard" quality setting to record 4k REDCODE RAW. But it will be possible by Summer or early Fall.

Express Card- same story as above, different format

SATA 1.8" drives. We had hoped that these would be ready by NAB, but they are delayed a few months. Nevertheless, we see this as the best alternative in the future so we are preparing for this formats eminent arrival.

64GB RED RAM- this is two 2.5" Flash drives housed in an off camera SATA housing, very similar to the RED DRIVE case. This is what we believe most Professionals will use because of the security and speed of the unit.

Hope this helps.

you guys asked.. and Jim listened. The options for flash are of course great value, but the way RED is adapting to the best interests of the customer is the real revolution here...
 
I'll second that Jarred. Flexibility in recording options and technologies goes a long way in enabling the scalability and servicability of RED One for both cine-style ane EFP-style production. I'm way happy with all the recording options...
 
The user can change the flash modules on the camera. We do recommend that a service center change the RAW Port.

Ok, I just read "*Factory installed option. Installation removes RED FLASH options from system configuration."
as you HAD to choose when you ordered the camera from the factory.
So it just means that, it's a larger surgery, and you could potentially mess up the camera if not done right.
Your reply here is much easier to understand correct, I think.
 
redram! redram!

redram! redram!

uhhhh, sorry, heard a little, creepy kid voice in my head. eh-heh. anyway, does the Red Ram require a SATA flash module, or does it connect elsewhere?
 
There is a SATA input on the camera designated for either RED DRIVE or RED RAM. This is separate from the on-board flash modules.

Can you guys support P2 as well? I really like buying my flash memory at 6x market price. :devil:

Seriously, it's great to see that Red understands the value of open standards, and doesn't view accessories as a way to extract exorbitant amounts of money from locked-in customers. This is one of the first cameras born out of an age of low-cost commodity digital technology. Other vendors might use the tech, but they've never picked up the philosophy. Or the pricing structure! Red totally gets this stuff.
 
Ahhhhhh

Ahhhhhh

My first post and such a quick reply from our leader. Thank you so much Jim, with no question Red Ram it is, all the way. That was really not going to allow me to sleep, those small details are always the ones that can make one obsess. eh-heh.

And thank you Jim, for the storage 101. It was the only thing that I was not recieving directly from the price list. My night is complete.

As I have not yet taken the opportunity, a million thank you's from a die hard film snob who was waiting for this paticular revolution. You know what I really won't miss? the labs.


okay, okay, a film out, but that is a lot less to deal with, headache wise. :tongue:
 
Hi Jim

Awesome stuff, I can't wait to get #68 and shoot London.

What are the benefits of RED RAM?
What formats can it capture?
Frame rates?
Minutes stored?
What interface does it have to offload the data?

What are the timeline with the accessories?

Do you have a ship date for the first 100 cameras?

Thanks

What kind of potential write speeds are we looking at with the Red Ram 64GB?
 
The same as the RED DRIVE... at least as far as we're concerned. The camera can only compress so much REDCODE per second. Since 4K@30p is the max that the camera can compress to REDCODE RAW per second, any higher data rate possible with the RED RAM is moot.
 
Are the specs for CF known yet?
(Certainly a GREAT option to have on-board - AWESOME!)
