Is RED letting Sony use 4k footage to demo Cell chip?

[Greg Voevodsky]

It's nice to see RED and Sony not fighting...

but will RED let Sony borrow some 4k footage at SIGGRAPH?

"it promises to put on quite a show at SIGGRAPH by performing real-time processing of the type of 4K footage captured by Red Digital Cinema's RED ONE." Hmmmm

They ought to start sticking Cells inside Apple Mac's, those chips pack some serious processing power. The console doesn't really make the most of it. Perhaps Sony are thinking of rather than competing camera wise they'll cash in on Red with a PC 4k editing setup at an affordable price and shake up the market a bit. Interesting spot though Greg!
