Anybody have any interest in asking for an adapter to be able to use the RED
LCD on other ENG cameras?

Instead of buying the Panny 8 inch for 3500 I would love to see an adapter
that would give me the essentials of the RED LCD. for maybe a couple hundred

The custom resolution (1024x600) may be an issue/problem there - it doesn't sound like they are taking an HD-SDI input.

Then there is the custom cable config, which seems to be built around a re-configged DVI from what they've said.

So to adapt, would they not need an HD-SDI to WSVGA (the1024x600 format) adaptor? I don't see Red being incentivized to solve this for other folks, and for a third party, a small/pricey market to solve for.

Just my $0.02.

...but if the EVF and LCD plugs are identical AND interchangeable, that bodes well for them taking in a standard size and scaling to fit the displays...again I don't know, just guessing here....
