The Red Box

[Adam Glick]

I believe the RED TEAM is aware of alternative methodologies for processing r3d clips in realtime.

We all know that IRIDAS hacked a GPU-powered demosiacing implementation for r3d files before b16 came and locked them out with an encrypted file header.

For whatever reasons, RED has decided on software partners being required to use a particular method for processing their RED RAW files. This method requires algorithms which (currently) seem to run only on X86 CPUs.

Maybe a redBOXX (or equally fast alternative) system running some sort of embedded Linux-like OS with front panel "push button" operation and dedicated I/O ports would do what Mark is dreaming of...?

Of course, somebody would have to write the software to run on this thing...

To add to the wishlist:

- AES/analog XLR out for lying the embedded audio in the R3D to tape or for dailies playback.

- a 10/100/1000 port for direct connection to a computer for INSTANT UPDATING of the LOOK files or streaming R3D media directly from a machine rather than an external disk (I guess FW800 works just as well)

I'm building an on-set dailies trailer and this would save me buying a renderfarm to crunch RedRushes media for screening.
