Any new on the RED-RAID?

[Curran Giddens]

First of all, congrats on pulling off the impossible!

I'm not trying to be a party-pooper, but where is the news about the RED-RAID?

I will order the RAW port either way (I don't want to have to send it in later). But if you guys don't make a RED-RAID sometime next year, I will never get a chance to use it.


p.s.
No. I have nothing against using REDCODE RAW for 24fps (Graeme is THE MAN!). I just want to have the option for higher frame rates.

kinda need it for vfx/greenscreen also.

yeah, that too. Which also happens to be about 90% of what I want to do....

yip :)
it'll come.

Though saying that I've in the past done tonnes of work off digi-beta.. thats 4:2:2 10bit.. was fine. Have to see what the compression does to flat green areas :-/

yeah, I've pulled tons of keys off digi-beta too. I've even pulled a key from miniDV in Shake! I'm really not to worried about using REDCODE RAW for 24fps greenscreen. I do get a little worried when I see all the buzz about new products like mini-RED, 4k displays, and 4k projectors, but absolutely nothing about the RED-RAID.

I just don't trust any other company to make a high-performance RAID for a decent price. The Ciprico that does 1 GB/ps is like $35k! That is about the same price as my RED package including Zoom lens!
