When I saw this "THING" at Red Studios Hollywood, I had to ask Jarred what it was at first seen for the distance amongst Jarred's Office Gazillion other one of a kind items wasn't easy to make out...

That was a ruse to keep Helium a secret

 

[Matt Doane]

So Helium is a new sensor?

 

[Domenic Barbero]

So in terms of helium..... im sure I won't get an answer, but is it more than just the condensed pixel count into s35? more latitude? more ISO? New color? and is it harder to get that in dsmc2 bodies than the VV sensor?

That was a ruse to keep Helium a secret

I'm not sure that's sucha big secret anymore :tongue_smilie:

 

[Peter Lyons Collister ASC]

I am sure Jarred will soon talk more in depth about the Helium sensor. It is new and it is cool......

 

[Aaron michaels]

Hahaha damn keep it coming! Amazing.... camera after camera...love it!

I always wonder how people in charge from competing companys react, when RED unleashes such a bomb without warnings or big press-conferences, without leaks and all.

I imagine midnight meetings with managers and pr-people in pyjamas, trying to find ideas to safe their asses.
