Tangent Wave (http://www.tangentdevices.co.uk/products_wave.asp), REDCINE-X (http://red.cachefly.net/REDCINE-X_build_82e.zip) & RED Rocket (http://www.red.com/store/100-0012) work very fine and flawlessly together.

They are really a great working trio for your RED on set or in post production workflow.

Your welcome guys as I always have a great pleasure to serve our RED community well.

Then I forgot to mention that a part of the set up is AJA Hi5 3G HD-SDi to HDMI converter

connected between RED Rocket™™™™ HD-SDI out (both outputs) to AJA Hi 3G HD-SDI in (both inputs)

and with HDMI out to HP DreamColor monitor to get a full 10 bit.

Thanks David

for that amazing R1 slow-mo shot.

I like it so much and is in my .mov archive now.

Using the Tangent Wave console's knobs and buttons is much easy way to get things done pretty fast doing color correction with R3D files.

I think fps are not accurate counted because any movement has "natural" speed.

Jason,

i didn't make anything special except downloaded the newest beta REDCINE_X build 84

http://red.cachefly.net/redcinex/REDCINE-X_build_84.zip

removed the older versions from computer, installed build 84.

launched REDCINE-X and have got REDCINE-X on Tangent Wave displays.

There is no any plug-in.

RED Rocket™ lit and your only getting 2.173fps? :-/ :-o

The FPS readout in REDCINE-X is like a current status thing and acts kinda weird. When you hit play the footage starts playing real time, but the FPS counter ramps up as if it has some sort of averaging and when you stop, it tapers off at times and often reports some low number like that even sitting there idle.

I will say though, when playing back 4K RC36 at full res, full quality debayer, I'm topping out at about 17~19fps. Even with the latest build. It seems there's something holding back Rocket performance in REDCINE-X. Probably the code is just not optimized and still full of a lot of debug info and processes. ROCKETCINE-X plays back much faster and always has, but it's basically been EOL'd and it looks like it's all REDCINE-X from here on out.

do we know this for sure, Jeff? - has RED confirmed or is that an assumption? I'd sure hate to see it dropped, I really like RocketCine-X.

Jeff Kilgroe
01-20-2010, 09:46 PM
No we don't know this for sure at this time I guess. I saw a comment about it recently around here. Ultimately ROCKETCINE was to get us all up and running with the ROCKET and will eventually be retired.

I had been under the same impression Jeff was, but Deanan just said:

"REDcineX is the first app out.
RocketcineX will be released also with new color support"

So I dunno.

that set-up doesn't have a conform tool, yet. just sayin'...

not that it isn't great, I have a very similar set-up. but DVS Clipster will still do certain things that our souped-up budget set-ups won't.

Jeff, I think I read that same comment, but I'm hoping that they released REDCINE-X first, to serve the greater populace, since not everyone has a Rocket card yet, putting in my vote to keep ROCKETCINE-X alive, it is great for fast footage reviews and is still optimized for speedier playback and rendering.

Also want them to add a text/notes section...a la Clipfinder - that can be saved in a document format that could be sent down the editorial pipeline.

Jeff Kilgroe
01-21-2010, 08:04 AM
Yeah, you got me there. I just saw that too.

Now I'm trying to remember where I read the other info. I know who typed it, but I don't want to say anything more until I find it. Especially since it looks like it is not accurate, or at least not going to happen any time soon.

Yeah, I'm almost postive that I red one of the Red Boys say that RocketCine was an interim solution to use the Rocket until the next app up which would subsume both RedCine and RocketCine... and that appeared to be RedCine-X.

The way it was described, it sounded like it would be a superset of all the previous apps, and would simply take advantage of Rocket acceleration if present, and fall back to software/GPU if not.

Thanks Jeff.

Yeaaah,

It's happening in a small shape right now and tomorrow will get even bigger...

I am just writing what I see in front of me right now. It's about totally new feeling and life with

real-time grading and fast conforming R3D files that I didn't experience before.

REDCINE-X is still in early beta and of course with a little help from the third apps like a Clipfinder , Crimson, R3D Data Manager, etc,...

it could be one day very soon like a small scaled or cut version of DVS CLIPSTER DI RED System.

To Tangent Wave Owners:

Just got my Wave yesterday, working with Redcine-X, what a godsend!

The Issue:

When I'm using my Master lift, gamma and gain controls (the scrollwheels) they do not register in the image until I move the corresponding Differential lift, gamma or gain control (the trackballs). I've restarted Redcine-X and rebooted my computer to no avail. Is anyone else having this issue?

Sanjin,
Want to ask you if you are using the DVI out from Redrocket card or only AJA output/input?

I'm trying to understand if there is ANY advantage to using the Redrocket output direct to a monitor. Seems that you only get use of THAT monitor while using REDCINE-X OR ROCKETCINE-X. So if you are using another output devise that gives you 10bit or 12 bit output via HDMI or HD-SDI, WHY USE the REDROCKET DVI outputs? I'm not connecting 4 of them to a 4k projector---from my understanding at this point, there is no advantage to using the DVI out of REDROCET card to a monitor since it is only 8 bit output AND you only get use of that monitor when using RED'S software, so effectively you loose that monitor for all other computing...unless you keep manually switching it by hand. So again, i don't see how the output from REDROCKET card has any advantage over say AJA card or in my case MXO2 breakout box with hd-sdi and hdmi and component output to a monitor and also color calibration tools (blue channel only) etc....

....Would love to hear your comments on this and how you are using.

I use dual HD-SDI out from RedRocket to AJA Hi5-3G HD-SDI to HDMI converter and then plugged to HP DreamColor (Calibrated with X-Rite HP calibrator).

Dual/Quad DVI keep for future 4K LCD...or 4 cheap{o} LCDs to put together...

Johnny Friday
02-08-2010, 07:43 AM
just a question, why not go HD-SDI out to AJA and then to hdmi? guess it does not matter how you get there, but just thinking less cables...and hd-sdi out to aja and then back out to hdmi gives you ten bit yes?

I'm trying to NOT go out via the rocket card and use my mxo2 card to go out to hdmi to calibrated plasma display. This way i can still use my dual monitors in other apps like FCP.

no...partially my mistake. You said DUAL HD-SDI...and my brain thought dual DVI...but yes there is dual hd-sdi out. I guess you can use BOTH hd-sdi out for 4k then? one is enough for ten bit i believe.

Thanks Sanjin,

Johnny Friday
02-08-2010, 07:55 AM
So you can only use your dreamcolor while using redcine-x and rocket-x? You have to unplug it or plug back into your video card if you want to use with FCP?

You can not leave it plugged into the video card AND rocket card at same time yes?

I might be missing something here, but if your monitor has multiple inputs just hook two connections up to it from your computer - one being the RedRocket output feed and the other running off your second DVI output on your video card perhaps (if you have one). Then just flip between them by selecting source input on your monitor?

I don't have a RedRocket, just thinking out loud.

Hey Sanjin,

Thanks for the picks. My Red Rocket was already on the way but after seeing your setup I purchased the WAVE the AJA DUAL SDI and the HP Dreamcolor along with new 8 core tower...will be in CC land very very soon. Also have the mobile rocket and HBA for quick switch between tower and macbook pro. RED is really great at this...so much support from different companies makes all the difference. Jim and RED a true revolution...i know i know i'm repeating what has been said a million times but i'm just saying it again:smiley:

HP Dreamcolor 30bit LCD.

The picture on HP Dreamcolor is a fresh shot on R1-M with Leica-R 60mm Macro f/2.8 from this morning.

I might be missing something here, but if your monitor has multiple inputs just hook two connections up to it from your computer - one being the RedRocket output feed and the other running off your second DVI output on your video card perhaps (if you have one). Then just flip between them by selecting source input on your monitor?

I don't have a RedRocket, just thinking out loud.

HTH

Paul, good point. Funny how the obvious is right in front of our eyes....
thanks.

Hi S

How are you monitoring/calibrating/loading LUTs when you CC on this system?
Only from the RR?
Or do you conform to something for a final grade in some CC app?

Sanjin,
So do you use the Magma express box on both your mac tower AND notebook? OR do you take the Redrocket card out of the express box and install it back in your Mac tower when you use the tower?

I'm trying to see if you get full potential out of using the RR from the express box AND what is the connection from the express box to your TOWER if you do use the express box connected to your tower. ----then are you getting full efficiency from the RR card if using inside the express box.

....many questions there. I like the express box, but trying to see what advantage it has if i plan ONLY to use from my mac tower. I'd like to free up a PCI slot, but you probably have to install another in its place....if so, what type of card/connection?

Thanks for all the work you are putting to show the community!

Gunleik,

HP Dreamcolor is calibrated with HP-Eye-One calibrator device that is the same device as you could have with your Mac or PC for your graphic/video work.

I do not use or work with this set up on another app except REDCine-X.

The idea is to get dailies/rushes in a way to work on set together with director/producer/cinematographer

and to define a basic color look of the shots that can be directly and immediately from this on-set place output as DPX,...etc.,...whatever you need files

that can be later use as a clear reference to grading suite and the main colorist.

Nothing more than that.

It's not grading footage for a final release.

About LUTs I do not know because this depends on more REDCine-X feature development later.

Info from HP DreamColor Monitor status window.

http://homepage.mac.com/sanjinjukic/RED/HP_02.jpg
HP DreamColor powered with calibration device from Eye-One Technology.

Also I head that 3cP 4x with new release that using latest SDK from RED was promised to work with LUTs.

Just because 3cP was already woking together with R3D, Wave and REDRocket.

So probably third parties apps will do more things in that way...

Hi Sanjin,

Why do you use an Aja for converting the HDSDI output of the redrocket and not the breakout box ?

199 hours isn't bad for the HP Dreamcolor. It does not need to be calibrated as often as a typical LCD.

The BOB currently does not support 10-bit on the HDMI ports.

When it does I will get the the breakout box. Sanjin and many others are probably waiting for the same....

That's a good reason. Thank you to all for this very usefull thread. I will follow you with a dreamcolor and an external box for my future Rocketcard.

I have the JL Cooper Eclipse, and I'm dying for that thing to work with Redcine-x. Is this something we need to chase JL Cooper about, or can RED integrate this? It's such a sweet surface, and color integration is pretty good.

Sanjin,
Let me see if i have this straight:

You are using dreamcolor and getting 10 bit yes?
*achieving by running hd-sdi out to your converter box then hdmi or display port out to the dreamcolor?

Is that correct?
Question, does the converter box require a card installed in the pcie slot or is it a straight conversion box?

that said, i like the link you supplied with the three choices. Blackmagic seems to offer as much as the others at a better price point. I have yet to look them up independently, but assume they all have HDMI or display port out.

I'm all out of pcie slots, so looking for a way to get 10 bit monitoring to my dreamcolor....and only way i see how to do that is via RR card's hdsdi out and then convert to either hdmi or display port into the dreamcolor.

I think i'm sniffing this out right no?
Thanks,

Thanks Sanjin,
Looks like simplest is the AJA hi5 the Lynx looks nice, but just want simple easy to use easy setup pass through. won't use 99% of the functions i see on most of these.
Great!

Hey Sanjin,
wondering if you are able to change the setup of the tangent. I just plugged mine in yesterday, and now back on the road, only got a few hours to play with it. I notice that if you go to "applications" you can open the WAVE up and assign different tasks to the controls---BUT, i did not see ANY REDCINE controls on the WAVE application. So for instance, if i want to assign TINT to one of the controls, i don't see how we can do this. Or is there a download some place where we can add REDCINE as one of the options to assign to the WAVE?

Thanks Sanjin

a few relevant questions:

what would you get today: AJA Hi5 3G (http://www.aja.com/products/converters/converters-hd-hi53g.php) or Blackmagic HDLink Pro (http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/hdlink/)

also has RED Rocket Breakout Box been updated to support 10bit?

Hi Guys, I just bought Wave for my on set (basic) grading. Just wondering about wave mapping, since I work with curve, kelvin and effects quite a lot. Still confused which command is for which.....LoL. Please advice. Cheers!
