Weapon Compression Rations per Frame Rate

[Matt Bai]

Are there any Apps or Programs that simulate the Compression and Frame Rate options UI for a Weapon?

There is the tool on RED.com but it has not been updated for Weapon.


Definitely want to know this info across the board.

It's in the media manual on red.com under support.

Perfect, Thankyou Stacey.

So not much of a difference, 10:1 vs 7:1 6k Varispeed Between Epic Dragon and Weapon CF. Is this noticeable?

Its 30% percent less compressed. Thats almost 1/3 better.

Also advantages of Weapon over Epic are numerous...its not just about data rates...thats a small part of the picture...

Yes I have seen Phil's images and comparisons.. I know all the other pluses listed, but speaking of the image compression solely. Thanks Nick.

Ahh....IMHO, 10:1 can be challenging if the background of the shot is complicated, textured, and not compression "friendly" (ie lots of foliage, dense terrain, etc). Whereas 7:1 is below REDs standard recommendstion of 8:1 and could presumably handle these more challenging situations better.

But...for more simple/restrained shots...Im sure 10:1 and 7:1 could look very similar...

I would not read anything into 8:1 as 'Reds standard recommendation' that was also the default on Epic MX.......
