  • 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 :)

Surprise...?

good surprise, bad surprise

good surprise, bad surprise

The RED ONE will soon be able to shoot 4.5K, 2.40:1 at 30fps. Expect to see this very soon.

very good surprise, for sure... who could deny that and turn the offer down. No way I want to spoil the party. The bad side of it is to have been reading in the past two days about reliability and stability problems, about cameras that wouldn't boot and batteries that would not connect properly because of worn plastic holes... and still see even more features coming with their likely burden of inevitable bugs. I fully understand that Red is a momentum, and that true revolution must look like restlessness at times. However, as a very basic future user eagerly waiting for my camera, I'd personally a bit feel more comfortable to hear about "stabilization" of the existing features, not to mention enabling rather basic features that have long been asked for, such as a power saving function...MHO...

But that again raises in me the question if achieving a single "custom mode" that deals dynamically with different values you can enter via menus, would solve this issue better?

RED one is a 1000 times more complex than an industrial camera. Doing a custom mode affect everything from multiple monitor path timing to scaling engines to compression to decompression and a bunch of other things. We would love to have a custom mode also but the number of variables involved makes it impractical.

We are not just working on new features...

I just love this!

I am so happy I got on board, it´s been a rush since day 1!
(and my camera makes more money than I do...)
 
Don't want to sound pessimistic - but does this mean we will lose the "SurroundView" (TM)? Is going to be at least drastically reduced... I kind of liked that function, but maybe I am just jumping ahead...

The Fellowship of the RED - with all the wizards have done it again! Kudos Jim&Co...!
 
4.5K and Surround View

4.5K and Surround View

Yes you would lose the left / right aspect of surround view in this mode. Above / below will still be there however.
 
One of the things I'm waiting for the most is when RED starts to open up the USB ports on the cameras. You will never believe the possibilities with this camera once they start to use those. It'll be like christmas on drugs in a space rocket...

Yup life is a bitch. Bear in mind all the positive comments about experiences with the RED-ONE, and bear in mind most - if not all - comments about codec errors are based on BETA TEST firmware. This is exactly why we do beta testing. Likewise we do updates on mechanical items too. This is normal ...

That's what doctor ordered :biggrin:
 
Which I'd love to install, if only...

Any idea when/if we get our QT codecs back? really need to export AJA from RC, as DPX is a risky business (From RC), random empty frames is not wanted...

Of course we would add it if we could. The monitor path is very tricky due to the scaling necessary. We really are out of room. So keep pushing us... just on some other topic. :-)

Not trying to be a jackass, but... Is it too late to request that the desqueeze option be a function of the RED 7" Pro LCD? :innocent:

R. Sorry again for the harsh response. I know you are a good guy. We are just completely worn out. It is a dangerous combination to push ourselves so hard and then try to stay connected to our customers on this board. Nerves are a bit fried.

No need to apologise. Just trying to get the kinda workflow I want to see ready for potential future projects. Ain't personal.

Btw I noticed you said "tricky" as opposed to "impossible"...

Therefore, I must hereby repeat my request for an option to view anamorphic footage unsqueezed, and to be able to record the surroundview area in this format, so we dont have to crop so many pixels out to extract the 2.35:1 frame...

because when did a little thing like being "tricky" ever stop you from building a 4k cine camera for $17 grand, when people were saying THAT was impossible.

If you can achieve the impossible, then tricky is for little girls :)

The monitor doesn't have the processing capability to do it.

OK, didn't think so as I'm under the impression it's functionally just a larger version of the current LCD. ...Just thought I'd ask. :matrix:

Oh, and the 4.5K record mode is going to be awesome, thanks RED TEAM!
