Questions..?

[Mike P.]

Speaking of RCXp, any chance it'll become (massively) multi-threaded at some point? Even if it's just in the batch-rendering department (rather than having to do it command-line style.) Or possibly GPU-acceleration as an interim solution for those that don't quite need an RR?

[Jarred Land]

Question / sugeston.

If no still mode. Could you not let us address the side handle red button to a "marker" it would be great even for motion. just push that button while recording and the current recorded frame gets a tag. thats' possible to jump to in red cine x pro then the still photo guys that want to snap frames can do that all they want while the camera is in record mode. For motion I would like to do the same for the good takes. Even give the director the red mote so he can trough in tag marks for good moments in the takes...

that is exactly the way its going to work...

[Jarred Land]

Wonderful thread and answers. Thanks Jarred.

Is there a Redrocket 2 around the corner?

Not in the near future. I am sure there will be one someday.... but not anytime soon. The RedRocket still is killing it.. and if you want faster just put 2 into your system :)

RCP-X is one of the products we make that Personally Jim and I are most proud of. What our RC-X team has accomplished is incredible.. There is alot of stuff coming.. alot of really cool stuff.

I promise you almost every request for RC-X stuff in this thread has already been on their list. That doesn't mean it will ever get released.. but they are thinking about it. all of it.

[Tehben Dean]

Best thread EVER.

Random question. Can you set the power/record button to Only be power? Last time I tried couldn't get it to work.

I keep hearing about these sensor NDs and in the button assigning menus you can choose ND related commands. How will these NDs work?

Also I'm so psyched about how you guys operate :D growing up in a society based on "disposable" products I can't tell you how highly I regard upgradability and craftsmen ship. Thank You

[Jon Jones]

Any plans on upgrading the frame rate past 300 any time on the EPIC? I want 1000fps, but I don't want to spend as much as vision research want me to spend on the phantom camera line, with their 3.0MP cameras.....

[Robert Cook]

We were just talking about this the other day :)

heh heh heh....

+1 , this is where it all started for me - "Crossing the Line" would love to see it! Thanks

[Patrick OMara]

Gyro and Accelerometers = in camera image stabilization

shoot at 4k with a 5k frame of "give".

That would be beast.

[ericyoung]

Is there a chance we'll see a "Scarlet Spec Series" of SSDs, not just the 32gb, but 64, 128, 256 priced accordingly?

Not that it's needed, but does that mean HDRx on Dragon will go up to 21+ stops?

What is the native ISO of Dragon? What is the ballpark cost for Scarlet-to-Dragon at this point?


+1 on this. Would be great for 80% of jobs/markets that don't require varispeed. If they can support the highest resolution of Red MX/Scarlet/Epic/Maybe Dragon, but only up to say 30fps max (although more would of course be awesome), and be much more affordable, that would help everyone on tight budgets, and even the big productions who don't need varispeed. It would also use up SSDs which didn't make the grade for varispeed. We could then just buy/hire full speed media when varispeed is required.

[Scott Crawley]

Gyro and Accelerometers = in camera image stabilization

shoot at 4k with a 5k frame of "give".

That would be beast.

No doubt! Come to think of it though, it doesn't need to be in camera, but in RCX-Pro. I wonder how useful that data will be to motion tracking. "You want to comp this in where, here? Bang! It's done!""I know it's a hand held shot, but seriously, it's done."

[Kevin Wild]

Gyro and Accelerometers = in camera image stabilization

shoot at 4k with a 5k frame of "give".

That would be beast.

Is that what this would be for? I'm not sure if that was a serious comment from Jarred and if so, what it would be used for. If they did have stabilization, that would truly rock.

Kevin

[Jarred Land]

all the gyro and accelerometer data gets dumped into frame accurate metadata... stabilize at will.

[Jarred Land]

Best thread EVER.

hey Tehben, I don't think I understand what you are trying to do.. can you elaborate?

[Harrison Diamond]

Oh my.

Jarred, any chance of addressing my earlier question/others' questions on the RPPs and covering 6K on Dragon? I bet you just don't want to spill the beans.

[Adam Clark]

WOW! never saw that coming!

[Jarred Land]

Oh my.

Not answering that one yet :)

[Greg McDonald]

What a year to miss NAB! So much going on. Thank you Red Team for all you're doing!! My head is spinning....and I haven't even had any tequila yet.

[Patrick Grossien]

all the gyro and accelerometer data gets dumped into frame accurate metadata... stabilize at will.

Which Apps will be able to deal with that data?

[Jarred Land]

Which Apps will be able to deal with that data?

We will let those guys speak when they are ready :)

[Adam Clark]

Which Apps will be able to deal with that data?

and furthermore can that data be exported, so that it can be used in 3D applications? what kind of motion precision are we talking here?

[Esteban Sosnitsky]

Jarred:
Will the still mode show exposure time differently than in motion?
Generally when you press the shutter and take a picture you have 3 seconds on the camera monitor to review, would this be an option on EPIC?
Also when you half press the shutter button a focus check is done, could this be as an option?
Why was the side handle slide discharged?
How do you sync flashes with a tool like the pocket wizard?
Thanks so much for your time!
I wish I could be there partying at NAB!

[Harrison Diamond]

Not answering that one yet :)

If you answered them all, I'd have nothing to look forward to but actually using what I have, eh?

This is f***ing awesome.

Jarred, I'm assuming the OLPF ND thing would filter out IR accordingly, yes? Will we have to swap it out manually with the screws or will they just pop out some easier way?

Oh, and I see the Leica mount has a caveat of not using anything wider than 50mm... will there be the possibility of a brain modification to allow this to not be an issue?

Loving every second of my Scarlet. It's so much cooler to be an owner and not just a watcher like I was since 2006!

[Björn Benckert]

that is exactly the way its going to work...

Super Nice, I think the "Mark good" function will become crucial when you guys keep on making these SSD's bigger and bigger.. :)

Another similar function would be... mark take as "useful" before stop record... address a hotkey so when pushed the shot shines green or such in red cine X.
Then for some shoots we would only need to proxy render some takes and leave the r3d's for the marked "not so god takes"....

But leave that for now Jared, I think you and the guys should go have drinks or at least some good sleep, you need to do nothing more, NAB 2012 would still be red with no other color shining trough.

You guys will win so big so it will spill over to all of us, Thanks a million... and that is an understatement, even when counting in US currency for our part. :)

[Patrick Grossien]

about the SSD rear Module : will we be able to install 2 to "hot swap" ssds for endless recording? Would tht work with the side module?

[Jeff J Daniels]

This thread is awesome, thanks!

Any info on release dates for the new SSD cards?

The fact that there are gyro/accelerometers in my Scarlet right now is incredible!

With this stabilized metadata, would we stabilize in RC-X?

[Ray Sullivan]

Heh Heh your gonna love the next build... :)

Which.. btw.. is also the first build where we turn on the Gyro and Accelerometers that have been sitting in the camera patiently waiting :)

Gyro and Accelerometers?

Could that data be used for 3d tracking by any chance?

Please say yes.

[Ryan Flesher]

Umm. I think this means that there might be some new lenses coming!
I hope so, but also am afraid that RPPs might not be as solid as an investment right now.
Hope this is a mid week NAB bombshell.

[Björn Benckert]

Which Apps will be able to deal with that data?
It 's most likely applicable in red cine or I guess any software that can project the image on a plane and re shoot it with a slightly more narrow FOV with reversed jitter on the pan, tilt and scale..

[Björn Benckert]

Gyro and Accelerometers?

Could that data be used for 3d tracking by any chance?

Please say yes.

It can.

The guys at syntheyes will implement it.

[Tehben Dean]

hey Tehben, I don't think I understand what you are trying to do.. can you elaborate?

Set the brain record/power button to only be power on/off.

I think the option was available in the menus but it didn't work for me. Just wondered if this option is supposed to be an option or if I mistook the meaning

[Phil Holland]

the little switch on the front of the handle that goes from motion to stills. That switch will likely just be a change between two different presets.

Interesting. This might be a really nice way to switch between record and playback on the fly through a preset.




Which.. btw.. is also the first build where we turn on the Gyro and Accelerometers that have been sitting in the camera patiently waiting :)

Excellent! You just saved my Set Data Collector and myself from taking those measurements!



RCP-X is one of the products we make that Personally Jim and I are most proud of.

RCP-X is ridiculously powerful and free even if you aren't a Red owner. As many licenses as you want. Rough Edit, Color Correct, Grade, Transcode, Audio Sync, and export all in one package. That's a hell of a deal.

[Ray Sullivan]

It can.

The guys at syntheyes will implement it.



This pleases me.

[Jarred Land]

Any plans on upgrading the frame rate past 300 any time on the EPIC? I want 1000fps, but I don't want to spend as much as vision research want me to spend on the phantom camera line, with their 3.0MP cameras.....

no new lenses this year.

[Alan Skinner]

Jarred, Hats off to Jim and you and the whole RED team! Great news from NAB!

The Gyros sound like they will assist with Tracking shots for matchmoving. Just what I need.

Will my EPIC be able to locate itself against a monument point for 3D in the future?

BTW, say hello to my li'l friend! He is marching off to NAB right now to party with you!

[Adrian Lopez]

Jarred,

Would love some info on when the new RED ROCKET card, if any, will be coming out. I've been holding on purchasing just in case you guys were going to announce a refresh at NAB.. so far, nothing. With all the Scarlet footage we're shooting, we need something fast.

[Martin Weiss]

Answered a bit earlier on. No new card planned for the nearer future. If you need extra processing power, just use 2 cards.

uh oh...

[Jarred Land]

Hi Jarred

When Power Management is goint to be released ?

as soon as you stop asking for new stuff :) heh heh heh

[Jarred Land]

Gyro and Accelerometers?

Could that data be used for 3d tracking by any chance?

Please say yes.

first implementation ( next build ) is going to be very basic.. the resolution of the data will get better as we go along.

[Mestizo Devon]

as soon as you stop asking for new stuff :) heh heh heh

Its gonna be awhile then

[Patrick Grossien]

as soon as you stop asking for new stuff :) heh heh heh

Never? Hehehe Oh man... I live of redvolts ... ;)

[Dave_S]

Jarred,
if technically possible, any plan of having
optional recording in Scarlet.... RAW and high bit .mov
some sort of reduced fan noise and a raised cover over fan vents so that hot hair does not enter sensitive nostrils:-)
light weight,Auto focus PL mount 18-85 zoom lens(if yes, please give us some rough date/month/year)
new Red rocket if coming out, pleaseeeeee give us some rough date/month.

kind regards

[Patrick OMara]

"gyro accel.."

Such data can be used to reduce motion blur as well.

[Martin Weiss]

Any chance for a RED Drudge (http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?75284-Boxes-I-d-like-RED-to-make)?


Two little boxes that would make my life easier:

1) The Swapper: Plugs into the EVC/LCD port of the brain, has two outputs for the LCD and EVF and one button. The button toggles between the LCD and EVF. Ability to use EVF and LCD without having to unplug/reboot.

2) The Drudge: Same form factor as the RED station; has two inputs and three outputs. Once a SSD is connected to an input and at least one HDD/SSD to the output, it starts copying with a checksum. Green LED flashes on each port during transfer. Lights green when everything is copied and checked. Make backups in the field without the need for a laptop.

[Chris McKechnie]

What an amazing time NAB has been so far. Thanks to the RED team for all their hard wok and dedication which make RED what it is today, which is unbelievable! So glad I entered the RED Realm!

@Jarred: with all the products that RED announced, which are you most excited abou and why? I that answer by chance happens to include some not yet released information about that particular product, I won't complain...hehe

[Ben Pluimer]

I'd love to know if there are any internal (or module) proxy solutions on the way. On board simultaneous ProRes or DNXHD proxies would be amazing, a module that records proxies to SSD Mags or CF cards would be great as well. Any info on something like this?

[Phil Holland]

An interesting question that comes up from time to time for the Scarlet X:

"Is it possible to shoot 24-30fps at 5k 2.40?"

Would that aspect ratio/crop be possible with current hardware?

Power Management is definitely my number one problem. Close second is phantom power, but you have that under way.

Thanks for the great thread!

again... power management to make redvolts worthy? No more cool stuff till then? cause I own 4, lol.

[Scott Crawley]

first implementation ( next build ) is going to be very basic.. the resolution of the data will get better as we go along.

Yea... I hope you are prepared to double your efforts... Again. Power management and THIS... ;-)

If I run back across the street to NAB and slip my existing EVF BOMB rolled up in a wad of 12 benjamins, *theoretically*, could I leave with an OLED in hand? That'd be just in time for an "Epic shoot" we've got tomorrow with a cast of performers that will rival anything visible on the Strip tonight. Thanks. :)

[brett ogden]

JARRED can i beta test A RED PROJECTOR???

(As head of media @ my church i could put it through A GREAT TEST)

[Hrvoje Simic]

Finally...fantastic achievement. This opens up a bunch of possibilities.
Hats off.

[MattV]

Since the RED Drudge got the "heh heh heh...."

How about Toia's Mobile red rocket with ssd reader can that get the Jarred "heh heh heh....?"

Speaking of which, what happened to the EVF thread Jarred?

[John Hall]

Will it be possible to shoot 3k HDRx at 25fps with a future build on the Scarlet?

[Paul Ellington]

sure...


Can you trade in your old bomb + difference for new OLED version?

[Trevor Meeks]

Can you trade in your old bomb + difference for new OLED version?

It's $1200 to upgrade, according to the now deleted OLED EVF thread. The difference in new price between the two is $700.

[Jarred Land]

Speaking of which, what happened to the EVF thread Jarred?

no idea.. i didn't delete it. I think i might of jacked it up when i moved all the ask questions posts from it to this thread... there is a weird looking thread that is a URL on the NAB2012 list.

[Jarred Land]

It's $1200 to upgrade, according to the now deleted OLED EVF thread. The difference in new price between the two is $700.

$1200 upgrade is correct to go from your old Bomb to New Bomb. $900 if you purchased your Old EVF in the last 30 days.

[Michael Moreno]

Matte Box Pro 15 or 19mm rod mounts? Thanks for all the wonderful new toys!

Any word on this?

I thought for sure it would be in the matte box bits
Been trying to figure out my matte box purchase for a while

Please and thank you

[Ben Coleman]

yeah we suck... thats on the list.. but you guys keep asking for all the cool fun stuff first so it keeps getting pushed back. " Power Management" just isn't all that sexy.. but ironically is probably more important than anyone gives it credit for.

Yes, it is extremely important. I cringe at using an entire redvolt just setting up a shot before rolling a single frame. To me that is in the top 3 of the list.

[Dmitry Burenok]

!!! I'm praying for that every day !!! Sure it wont freak out EPIC owners!

[Patrick OMara]

Way back in the day they mentioned the scarlet to do 24 @ 5k as it would be a great b-cam to epic. This was waaay back though...

[Ben Coleman]

Phantom power is up there on my list too. Although it sounds like its only a couple of weeks away.

According to Jim inthe demo, the current beta HW is dual simultameous 2K stereo @ 8bit with moderate ghosting. Tomorrow (literally or figuatively) it will be upgraded to 4K @ 10bit with reduced ghosting.

Jarred, my question: if there's a chance it will REALLY be tomorrow, can you tellus so.I can come back?

Thanks for the great party and show... was great to meet you...

Hey Jarred, any news of new lenses being released? Possibly working with the Redmote Pro?

EDIT*

Found my answer... this makes me a sad panda :(

[Brian Petrie]

Hey Jarred,
Thanks for taking the time to answer all our questions. So i have been wondering, last week I met this hot chick who said she wanted to party, we did, and ever since then there has been these red itchy bumps all around my.....oh wait maybe this isn't the right kind of question. damn.

[Michael Dalton]

yeah we suck... thats on the list.. but you guys keep asking for all the cool fun stuff first so it keeps getting pushed back. " Power Management" just isn't all that sexy.. but ironically is probably more important than anyone gives it credit for.

Jarred, POWER MANAGEMENT is the single biggest thing I want/need. I'm surprised that it has been pushed down there. Please make it a priority. There is a lot of us who shoot in the natural world, and it pains me watch the battery levels drop so quickly. I'm about to head out to Africa to shoot for two week, 7 days of which are remote camping. NO POWER!!! I have to resort to using a crappy canon when my power dies. I'll be saying bad things about you, and will be thinking about sending an army of elephants your way. :mad5:

Anyone else feel the same?

[CK Olsen]

For price/performance the RPP's still to this day are hard to beat... so we are bringing them back up by popular demand.

Oh Goody!

I . . . you . . . wut.

WHAT.

After everything else you guys have announced in the past 36 hours, I didn't think I could be blown away. The implications this will have for VFX work . . .

I don't even have a question. This is just . . . just . . . wow.

Hey Jarred,

This has been a super helpful thread, even for those of us in Vegas.

[Aleksandar Colancevski]

Hi Jarred,
There are a some of us using old EVFs with Epic.
Is there an upgrade path for old EVF? Or some code in next build so we don't have to start the camera three times in order to get EVF going?

[Mike P.]

Is there any chance of 5k 2.4:1 WS or 5k 4:3 ANA at 24fps current Scarlet-X?

Got me a beauty. but at the same time i was happy to pay.

Nice meeting you in the flesh today Jarred, thanks for not punching me in the head... I was ready for you though..., I had a tazar charged and ready to go. :))) kidding.
And it's great to see you guys listen so intently to requests. (drop the PRO RES MODULE idea I had... )

I'm glad you started this threat, I've been getting smashed by SMS, emails like I work for you guys !!!. I like the way you work the room too. Very surfer dude PRO..

Catch you in the forum... and don't drop your guard down. I enjoy the it.

Cheers :)


OLED EVF ROCKS.

[Mike Halper]

400fps on Epic not a joke..

At what resolution with MX and Dragon? Assume the 512GB Redmag is required for this?

And it's great to see you guys listen so intently to requests. (drop the PRO RES MODULE idea I had... )

I'm glad you started this threat, I've been getting smashed by SMS, emails like I work for you guys !!!. I like the way you work the room too. Very surfer dude PRO..

Catch you in the forum... and don't drop your guard down. I enjoy the it.

Cheers :)


OLED EVF ROCKS.

heh heh nice meeting you as well... finally :)

[Omar Al-Masab]

and a Scarlet 4.5k ws is definitely needed

[PatrickFaith]

We are ramping up production again on the RPP lenses... so we expect to be out of backorder on them in a few months. We sold more of the RPP's than we ever thought we would so our sales forecast planning went to shit. For price/performance the RPP's still to this day are hard to beat... so we are bringing them back up by popular demand.
Thanks much ! I think the RPP is the best price/performance lens out there, and the Indie's really appreciate it.

[Mike Halper]

Can two +1 Monitor Adapters be used?

What is the max number of LCD/EVF outputs we can have functional?

Does it matter which order modules are connected. For example, do we have to have the battery modules after the Pro I/O module? Or can we put them in any order as long as the Module Adapter or +1 Monitor Adapter are first?

Thanks for answering all our questions!

[Jarred Land]

only one +1 adapter per camera, remember it hijacks the HDMI port.

[Vance Colvig]

Thanks Jarred for your passion and offering this thread. For you to take the time to read all of the posts here and offer so much news about the future is "just plain tits". Thank you.

I woke up this morning and rolled into our booth and realized that alot of you guys couldn't see what we were experiencing in Vegas... so today was for you. Today you heard things here first.

[Omar Al-Masab]

will the 9inch be OLED? 2K ?

and will there be an upgrade to the 5inch to OLED and highres

[Jarred Land]

Not OLED for the big monitors. Right now big OLED displays consume way too much power.

5" is 800 x 480
7" is 1024 x 600
9" is 1280 x 784

[Louis Maddalena]

I woke up this morning and rolled into our booth and realized that alot of you guys couldn't see what we were experiencing in Vegas... so today was for you. Today you heard things here first.

I was going to come but had to work on a few projects here in NY.... Means a lot that you guys keep the forum in the loop and don't forget about us. I shall be there next year!

Any chance for a thunderbolt module, allowing to steal some camera horsepower... occasionally I find myself with my camera away from my higher end systems with just a mac and a camera (mostly scarlet, but sometimes epic) and want to review footage, play with RCX, and just get a little work done while I wait for whatever it is I'm waiting for. It'd be nice to be able to whip out a module from the kit, slap it on the back of the camera and have the ability to steal some of that glorious horsepower since the camera itself is capable of debarring footage in a real time...

Just something I've been thinking about lately that I thought would be a cool add on to the cameras.

[Sergio Perez]

You guys rock. Even in the middle of the biggest event in the industry you find time to address us on the net. A sincere thank you and more and more reasons to be a happy costumer, supporter and advocate for this unique company.

My questions are a bit "hard", however, hope you can handle them! :)

First warm up:

You talked about additional frame rates like 400 for the Epic. These will require the turbo cards? Any chance for an increase to 100 fps In 5K FF? This is the magic number for PAL...

2- What redcine x features can we expect in the near future? We got recently a handy "unsharp mask" option. Any special "effects" like vigneting, even masks for area specific cc?

EDIT 2.1 - any chance you guys make a couple of free RMD presets based in some looks and best practices provided by your collaborators like light iron or the great Graeme Natress? These could be nice starting points for some grading decisions and quick workflows... Please do it!

And now the hard, almost sure not to get an answer part :)

Apple is saying future FCPX r3d support. Are you guys getting a different vibe from them, are you working together on this or are they again doing everything without talking with you guys? Can we expect something good for this?
Obviously Premiere an Adobe are the partners of choice for Red material right now, but what do you have to say about Red and the new smoke and the new FCPX?

A small concern: I bought red armor, started I believe in February. Will upgrade to Dragon as soon as possible. What happens to red armor after the dragon install? We won't lose the armor, right?


Thanks Jarred and congratulations to the red team for such a successful event!

PS- You are being conservative with the Dragon's features, aren't you ? It sounds Excelent but I would think that you have something extra under your sleeve... :)

[Trevor Meeks]

I'm going to go ahead and post the first part to cinematography.com and engadget and a few other places just to stir up some shit.

HAHAHAHA YESSS. They'll eat that shit up.

[Omar Al-Masab]

I hope i can attend next year:smiley:

Keep up the good work

[John Brennick]

I gotta say Jarred, youre a special kind of person. Thank you for caring the way you do. I've never seen someone in your role be as active and accessible to the customer as you and Jim are. I agree with the aforementioned... People dont say thank you enough. Thanks Jim and Jarred. You guys are pretty amazing.

We learned about R3D support for FCPX the same time and probably the same way you did. The new smoke is pretty bad-ass looking. Adobe is killing it right now... in a big way.

RCX there is alot coming... gonna keep that under wraps for now :)

You wont loose your Armor after the Dragon install.

[mark foster]

Jarred, I know its a taboo subject--but due to lack of actual answers I've been able to find, can you tell us what is in the Future of R1, Any firmware fixes to make her even better and is it officially EOL for hardware?
Ill take anything--except other people hypothesis.

R1 will get a firmware update to add RC3/RG3 soon. We love the R1.. it is what started this all.

OK.. time to go eat.

Thanks for the awesome thread Jarred... (and nice one on us who don't finish reading posts well)


Just a reminder.. the next build in a couple weeks that adds this to the camera is our first official paid firmware upgrade, we will sell the download for $1400 or you can buy a hardcopy version on a limited special edition DVD for $1500.

heh heh just kidding.

[Dave Weber]

Jarred,

Great talking with you yesterday. Thanks for this thread. most everything i didn't get the chance to talk to you about is right here. It means the world that You (& red) will forgo sleep and rest, to give us so much info. Where the others just keep quiet.

Thanks again!

[Jerrod Cordell]

normal RealD glasses will work.. you just get some ghosting that you have all seen before. The best glasses are ones that are matched to the screen and the projector, and there will be ones matched to the REDray Laser projector in disposable, cheap, and expensive version.

So I'm betting the expensive 3D glasses will look like Oakleys? God I hope they do.

[Mike 'Fireman' Ross]

Jarred,

It was great seeing you guys at NAB, said hi to you and Jim, and yes I did open my wallet just a little bit :-)

Ballsy of you to show an alpha/beta product (the projector), as Jim explained it... I think we all got it. Thank you.

I'm going to ask a delicate, somewhat provocative question.

Jim spoke from the heart at the REDuser about RED, at the REDuser party, and about transparency. You are transparent, almost painfully so at time; thank you for that.

But less so in technical matters at time... of course you have secret sauce you have to keep secret, we all understand that. But would you be willing to be more open in the future about such things as pinouts and protocols? I'd love to see what companies like RedRock, Cinema Oxide, Viewfactor, and many others could do in terms of making alternative accessories - their take on side handle designs, alternative storage devices in side or rear modules, Redmote alternatives etc. etc. Can you be more open about that tech stuff without endangering your IP, product reputation, or profit margins?

Mike

THIS THREAD reminds me of the good ol' days of REDuser. Informative, constructive feedback, and a shared passion for creating art.

Well done Jarred, Jim - and especially the rest of you Redusers. Thanks for making this a great day.

How about lift gamma gain??

[Steve Sherrick]

Definitely good vibes today. Thanks Jarred for taking the time to do this and help keep those who couldn't make it in the loop. I had been to 6 NABs in a row until last year, due to work commitments and it's nice feeling like I'm kind of there virtually.

Good job this week! Better yet, good job the past few years. :-)

[James McLellan]

An interesting question that comes up from time to time for the Scarlet X:

"Is it possible to shoot 24-30fps at 5k 2.40?"

Would that aspect ratio/crop be possible with current hardware?
This would be nice too :)

[Louis Maddalena]

Mr. Land,

I apologize for asking more than one question, and this question but I have come up with a second one.

Can you add more than one SSD module onto a camera, and choose your poison on how they interact with each other? Say, either spanning or instant back up?

[Pete Lutz]

Thanks a ton for this Jarred. I'm in vegas at the show and all of these questions answered here were even helpful to me.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Pete

[Keith_D]

Hey Jarred,

This has been a super helpful thread, even for those of us in Vegas.

But most of all thanks for obsolescence obsolete. The new Bomb is a huge step up, and I don't have to buy a new one, just upgrade, and for being the only camera company that would include your last line in a major firmware update announcement.

+!, this is the best thread so far this year! Helpful and FUNNY! Thank you


We don't say thank you often enough,

Steve

This is the best thread this year, helpful and funny, Thank you Jarred!

[Nick Pasquariello]

I heard Jarred say that firmware will include gyroscope activation. Can somebody please tell me why i should be excited about this and what it means practically? Would love to know how this little feature will help or add to shooting. Thanks

Data gets saved as metadata, and can be pumped in to Nuke, Flame, etc. to provide a digital camera. Makes it monumentally easier to comp in objects if you don't have to do a 3D track and figure out that data. Also don't have to add tracking markers into your scene that you later paint out. There are tripod systems and the like that can be added on to any camera and provide this data, but they are costly.

Sooooo take what you would have spent on a tripod head that records pitch, tilt, and yaw, as well as somehow tracking position, and put it in your pocket. That's what Red just did. Your camera will quite literally be worth more than it is right now, within a few weeks, and more and more as they get better and better at tracking this data with future firmware updates.

Having these sensors could (and this is pure speculation on my part and would need a few additional pieces of hardware anyway) also potentially open the door to motion control ("moco"), depending on what other accessories Red comes out with in the future.

[Daniel Stilling]

Any word on a price range for the wireless module?
I heard around 2k

[Domenic Barbero]

NIck thanks so much. This def sounds like a major major activation then. You just got me infinitely more pumped.

Thanks so much for the hard work and outstanding products. You guys have changed our business for the last 3 1/2 years!
I'm hearing RCX-Pro will be able to output to an external broadcast monitor. How far in the future is this build? What cards will be initially supported? How will new cards be implemented?
Thanks for the love to those who couldn't get there this year!

[Zac C]

Crosby Station...

RIGHT JARRED???

[Scott Auerbach]

We will let those guys speak when they are ready :)

I normally try to avoid adding to the back half of the signal/noise ratio, but I have to say:
If gyro metadata eliminates the incredibly time-consuming process of image analysis for motion tracking, that's one fantastic leap forward. I always imagined it would come, but didn't think it was actually in development.

Also, a few questions/comments I didn't get a chance to ask (you were pretty swamped when I was in the booth). Apologies if they've been covered already... I did look, but I haven't had the time to go through every page of every NAB post.
a) it'd be lovely to see the RCX SDK incorporated into Iridas, now that it's part of CS6. There will always be a need for RCX, but it'd be nice to leverage the cross-app suite integration that Adobe is really excelling at.
b) now that there's a forthcoming OLED EVF, what's the status on dealing with the dreaded milky blacks on the current EVF? It's my only display (waiting for the 9"... my eyes are too old for 5") and honestly, it's almost impossible to figure out what you're actually getting.
c) will the new Turbo SSDs also offload media at 'turbo' speeds? (I'm assuming there will be a Thunderbolt media reader, which means we'll no longer be throttled by the FW800 speed limit...?)

Pretty wonderful set of announcements. Great party, too. Big thanks for that.

[Phil Rich]

My question is how do you do it all :)? And also I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you...Revolution and Evolution all rolled up into one neat transparent bundle....thanks to everyone at RED... Scarlet 401 and I are really enjoying the ride.

[Peter Majtan]

Talking about different battery modules - if anything I would really like to see a rear-facing module that will clip on the back of the camera and allow for 2x REDVOLTs or 1x REDVOLT-XL to be inserted from the rear - just the way the RED BRICK snaps onto the Meizler module, if you catch my drift...

And talking about power - more people should be pushing up the POWER MANAGEMENT priority. If bunch of elephants from Africa can scare Jarred to push it up by 10 notches - if we all attack with all we have got - it should be done yesterday...
I am willing to send group of agents hiring for Japanese Game Shows (that alone should scare up 100 notches), followed by couple of "elder" ladies from Kansai area (which should just about kill any queue left...)

And YES - big THANK YOU to Jarred for this (and other) threads and the whole RED TEAM for the great work...

CHEERS

Based on earlier comments I have a feeling this has already crossed their minds, but one has to be careful with how many "rear facing" modules are designed... you can only have one in the chain and you restrict the use of other terminating devices like the REDMOTE. Of course you could clamp a REDMOTE somewhere else, but that means it won't be getting charged... and the battery life of the 'mote is pretty limited as it is. Mostly, though, I'm curious what such a module would net you besides a minor amount of length (which would be negated with the use of an XL battery). Not criticizing, just curious.

spanning for now..

[Jarred Land]

Next build will also have " Target Redcode " where you set your target and it will get as close to it as possible. This allows you to switch to a higher framerate, shoot at maximum redcode, then switch back to a normal frame rate and it will automatically jump back to that target. No more " damn switched back to 24fps and left it at 12:1 "

Can't wait for Meizler module + REDmote PRO!!!

Can I imagine the REDmote PRO like a Preston FIZ+video???

Mr. Land, does Epic's design allow for short bursts of even higher frame rates? For example, 800fps for 10 seconds at 2K.

Oh, and Thank you -- for everything.

Jarred, you can't believe how much this thread has lifted my spirits.

Not being able to go to NAB although I was looking forward to all of last year, has been a major source of frustration. You taking the time for us means a lot to me! This thread is so REDUSER old school I feel like you announced the EPIC all over again. Thank you for taking the time! Thank you for sharing! Thank you for being such a cool dude!

I personally started my carrer as photographer and believe that there is a a lot of difference between the two businesses....I am sorry but I still wish that the camera will be enable as still camera...it was one of the reasons why I chose Scarlet! having to choose between minutes of footage for a good photo is a lot different and especially thinking about the precision and the suspense of one and single shot! Many big photographer as Mario Testino like to prepare and wait for the right moment...I feel photography is a pistol...a rifle...a shot gun that has one bullet...not sure how to explain.... but it is really a different feeling and I think should be kept in that way....thanks and much love and respect to the RED TEAM!

Hey Marcello I think i may of done a bad job explaining this.. you can still use both the Scarlet and the Epic as a single frame traditional camera... still photographers have just evolved into using the camera in a different way so the way the menus work has changed a little bit, giving people an easier way to shoot motion and pull stills as a primary function. But by all means you will still be able to set the camera just to take a single still when you press the record button.

[Jarred Land]

Will you have a booth at IBC 2012 ?

heh heh heh im sure we will have a presence.. but right now i don't even want to think about it.. I am pretty sure Jim and I shave off 10 years of our lives every NAB from lack of sleep and stress and the week is only half way through. Ask that question again in June :)

Big, big thank you!!! Had my Scarlet for the past 3 months now, after years of silently enjoying reduser and dreaming of having one. Apart from owning this piece of gold, I am truly amazed with Red philosophy and support. So Jarred, Jannard and Co.... hats off, big thumbs up... I'm not a native English speaker (despite my name)... so whatever can be said to emphasize my deep gratitude for this revoltionary non-stopping red experience.
Being a shy contributor to REDUSER myself (sorry), just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all those red contributors like Phil Holland, Mark Toia, Jeff Kilgroe... (the list goes on and on, can't remember everybody)... Reduser is an indispensable source of knowledge thanks to you guys.

No more questions :) Back to my cave now. Cheers from the remote lands of the Basque Country.

You too mate, and thanks for looking after me yesterday. ;)
Hope you get the 4k part of your projector going tomorrow... Very keen in seeing that.

Good luck.

[Sebastian Winkels]

Thanks for all the great news!!

What about the RPZ 50-150?
Will there be a V2 version coming - and when?

[Mark Toia]

or better yet... a 80 to 200 F2.8 MINI ZOOM....

[Jarred Land]

Rod adapter for Red matte box ?

:party: I'm the kid in the crowd
jumping to get my question answered
Somebody put me on there shoulders

ha ha ha sorry Michael. We have finished this.. its just not made it into production que yet. Ill try and take some photos of the prototype when i get back to the studio next week if you remind me.

[Raphael Varandas]

Thanks so much Jarred.

[Simon N]

Quite excited about all the new things coming up - things I didn't even know were sitting waiting for firmware updates ( gyros etc..). I pushed hard for the Epic on the job I am starting, which is quite heavy on VFX and if all comes to fruition that is promised for the next build then I will be a happy boy. Nothing like going to production and saying, here's something new that will save you a few $$.

How about a recap thread with those things Jim/Jarred are actually going to happen ?

My actual question is, unless I have missed it, in camera ramping ?????

[Alexey Milokost]

Thanks for a great thread!

1. How much time approximately will it take to free upgrade M?
2. Will the next fw release have simultaneous HDMI and SDI?

Thanks,
Alex

[Tarsem Antil]

1. Dont know yet till we get started :)
2. Not yet..

RED ONE gets RC3/RG3. Capable of shooting The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo... dead? I don't think so.

Jim

[Tarsem Antil]

Silly post. RED ONE gets RC3/RG3. Capable of shooting The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo... dead? I don't think so.

Jim
Dear Sir, Thanks for ur answer. There is a question in every r1 owners mind is there will be any sensor upgrade for r1 in future.

[Michael Moreno]

ha ha ha sorry Michael. We have finished this.. its just not made it into production que yet. Ill try and take some photos of the prototype when i get back to the studio next week if you remind me.

Thanks a trizillion my friend
Everyone knows you are a superhero
could have never answered this and I be here fully amazed with all the new stuff.. haha

You listen to our requests greater than any other company ever will
and that is why you are greater than all others
I will remind you ; )

[Steve Marshall]

Dear Sir, Thanks for ur answer. There is a question in every r1 owners mind is there will be any sensor upgrade for r1 in future.

It's been said time and time again that the R1 won't be getting a sensor upgrade!

[Tarsem Antil]

It's been said time and time again that the R1 won't be getting a sensor upgrade!
Still hope Jim take care of R1 users.

[Steve Marshall]

There is no path for Dragon to the RED ONE. That upgrade path was RED ONE to EPIC.

[Martin Stevens]

Dear Jarred,

Thank you ever so much for all of your hard work. I really, really appreciate this
"Questions" thread as I have not been able to make it to NAB this year.

I believe you and your efforts in Digital Cinema will be remembered.............for ever!

You and Jim are my Digital Cinema Heroes. I love my Epic-X!

:)

[Tarsem Antil]

Dear Sir, Thanks for ur answer. There is a question in every r1 owners mind is there will be any sensor upgrade for r1 in future.
can be silly. Plz consider the price is dropping down day by day and how many R1 sold by RED after epic release.

[Peter Majtan]

Still hope Jim take care of R1 users.

You are saying it like he hasn't already...
Almost 100% refund on your camera AND a huge discount on the new Epic. You can not be seriously asking for more...

Then You should talk to the original owner. He got all the benefits and offers. Just don't say Jim is not taking care of RED ONE owners...

I know Jim is doing more than that.

[Peter Majtan]

Based on earlier comments I have a feeling this has already crossed their minds, but one has to be careful with how many "rear facing" modules are designed... you can only have one in the chain and you restrict the use of other terminating devices like the REDMOTE. Of course you could clamp a REDMOTE somewhere else, but that means it won't be getting charged... and the battery life of the 'mote is pretty limited as it is. Mostly, though, I'm curious what such a module would net you besides a minor amount of length (which would be negated with the use of an XL battery). Not criticizing, just curious.

Häakon - I appreciate Your feedback. Actually the size is reduced dramatically. You could end up with about the same depth as with the dual module - which does not take the XL batteries - only the quad does and that one is huge. Also You will overcome the problem where installing the XL battery on the left side will prevent ejection of the SSD. Such a module would be the smallest possible allowing the use of both normal and XL batteries...

About the REDMOTE - I find the battery sufficient for a day's shooting - if you use the REDMOTE only when you really need it. I see people using the REDMOTE...
But every problem has a solution - such a module could have a powered dock for the REDMOTE on either left or (preferably) right side, which could charge the REDMOTE...

Jarred? Any "hehehe"?

[Manuel Wenger]

don´t know if the question was raised already but will the Meizler Module work with Remote Focus Systems like CMotion or Arri WRC and the common motors like Heden or ARRI CLM ?

thanks
Manuel

[John Marchant]

Next build will also have " Target Redcode " where you set your target and it will get as close to it as possible. This allows you to switch to a higher framerate, shoot at maximum redcode, then switch back to a normal frame rate and it will automatically jump back to that target. No more " damn switched back to 24fps and left it at 12:1 "

WOOP! Nice one guys. I know I bugged you guys about this, and I know I was probably just a voice in the choir, but it feels special when your little problem get the treatment.

Love it :)

[John Parkin]

Threads like these are a huge part of the reason I bought an Epic-X. All by itself the camera was the best combination of price and specs, but to have constant Firmware upgrades for free and little niggly issues sorted out on a regular basis is simply incredible.

Pretty much every single thing I can think of to improve the day to day function of my camera has been mentioned and addressed in this thread.

I want to extend my sincere thanks to everyone at Red, you guys are quite simply the best company I have ever dealt with.

[roryhinds]

Great announcements Red, congrats on all the late nights and long weekends, your hard work surely shows.

I have a few questions:

REDRAY PROJECTOR
- could you please fill us in on how the RedRay Projector will be upgradable to theatre size screens and what sort of cost is projector for a Theatre version of the Projector
- does the projector really use RRP's as the lens and will one be included in the cost
- I see only 2 x HDMI inputs on the photos of the projector in the glass case at the show... will the production units have HDSDI input?
- If the projector is to be run in 2D only will you still need a 3D silver screen?
- Will the projector upres incoming 1920x1080 content?

RED WIRELESS VIDEO MODULE
- when will it be shipping and what is the price point?

SIDE HANDLE
- when will the side handle issues be address with batteries falling out?

REDCINE X PRO
- Please tell me you're working on a LINUX version with Red Rocket on Linux too
- any change of a 6k compatible thunderbolt RedRocket box

512GB SSD
- what is the price point and availability of these?

iPad EPIC CONTROL APP
- when is this coming out as wasn't it shown at last years NAB?

Again, great work guys... what progress and amazement since I picked up #68 back in 2007.

[Nils Ruinet]

Nice thread ! Woud love to hear more about the Red Wifi module, price and availability ?

[Patrik Kisucky]

The best thread, Thank You for taking the time to answer our questions.
My priority would also be the power management with the Scarlet, but I also have a question that wasn't asked:

Possibility to flip the image vertically on the touch screen. Is that in the works?

[Ryan.Green]

Some amazing insights coming out of this thread, what a ride being a RED owner is.

Also, i just want to chime in again on POWER MANAGEMENT lol as it seems our requests are starting to make a little difference.. :smiley:

[Hilmar]

WOW!

Its unbelievable what you guys are doing! Your technology, the upgrade-programms, the updates, listening, ...... and on the biggest event of the year you find the time to keep us leftovers who countn't make it informed!

Thank you soooo much!
I was only once at NAB helping IRIDAS with Demos. I can only assume how busy your booth must be!

So dont forget to drink delicious Schnaps and sleep! You have a entitlement to a reward! ;-)
Have a great time!
cheers,
Hilmar

[Andrae Palmer]

$1200 upgrade is correct to go from your old Bomb to New Bomb. $900 if you purchased your Old EVF in the last 30 days.

Jarred, my LCOS EVF arrived just last week Thursday. Since I'm still in the 10 day return period... it it possible that I can do the upgrade for the difference of $700?

[sam karr]

Great news.
Power management would be great.

[Petri Teittinen]

- If the projector is to be run in 2D only will you still need a 3D silver screen?

Already answered in another thread: no, you don't need a 3D silver screen for 2D viewing.

[anne-maree gale]

What a completely absurd statement to make.There are many people in Tarsem's position

[Alexandros Tsoupras]

It's threads like these that were a big consideration when I decided to buy a RED camera.

+1 on that. Many thanks to all the RED team.

We all are in the RED now!!!

[Ces Peynetti]

Thank you Jarred for your time reading and answering this thread. This kind of interaction is one of the many reasons users love Red. I remember seeing "Crossing The Line" when it first hit the web, telling myself "I'll have a Red some day and become a part of the Red family." 5 years later after working very hard I was finally able to purchase my Scarlet. Not an easy investment for me, but one that I know I will never regret. You guys rock. Not just you and Jim, but everyone I've had the pleasure to interact with from Red, I can tell all your crew has a burning passion for what you guys do, and that is exciting to see as a customer. I'm now starting to save for an Epic (or whatever amazing piece of technology you will have in the next few years) I made a thousand dollars at a blackjack table while in Vegas, so that helps a little.

No questions here really. Just a note of appreciation.

[jason dewey]

Heh Heh your gonna love the next build... :)

Which.. btw.. is also the first build where we turn on the Gyro and Accelerometers that have been sitting in the camera patiently waiting :)

gyro and accelerometers?!?!?!?! Are these in Scarlet as well?

[paulherrin]

gyro and accelerometers?!?!?!?! Are these in Scarlet as well?

yes they are... :) i've been excited about those puppies for awhile. now, whether there will first be stabilization/tracking in rcx or another package, we'll see :)

[Jon Nash]

Hi Jarred,
Any plans for the Leica R mount to add to your recently released M mount?

[Michael Millichamp]

Any news on Loom in 4k?
Thanks.

[Ben Pluimer]

+1 for power management. I'd love to see how much juice can be squeezed out of a redvolt before buying a vmount brick solution.

[Tanner Field]

no new lenses this year.

Very sad news when it comes to the RPAs... Been waiting on pins and needles for any little tidbit on these guys since the initial announcement was made... A they still in development? Or has this project been killed? If they're still on the list is there any news you can share? :-)

Enjoy the rest of your week guys! See you next year..

[Rob Ruffo]

yeah we suck... thats on the list.. but you guys keep asking for all the cool fun stuff first so it keeps getting pushed back. " Power Management" just isn't all that sexy.. but ironically is probably more important than anyone gives it credit for.

+1 It's like ease-of use interface features on post software. Nobody wants to say "The buttons have now been moved to more convenient locations!" on a pamphlet, but things like that probably benefit the post artist more than people realize.

[Antony M]

But by all means you will still be able to set the camera just to take a single still when you press the record button.

Any idea when this will be enabled on the Epic?

Also, when will pre-roll be enabled on the Epic?

[paulherrin]

power management
single frame capture
pre-roll
frame overlay

...that's my list. i'm sure it's all in development, along with a bunch of other goodies. thanks guys :)

[F. Malmer]

It would be nice if Red took a few releases now and only focused on reliability and getting the core things rock solid and super stable. So we don't get bugs like the occasional half frames on the LCD when switching from playback mode. And putting in "boring" things like power management and making the SDI-output solid with PsF support etc. Basically just making sure everything that is there now is perfect and stable. Never needing to reboot the camera due to software bugs would be great.

[Steven Caesare]

Thanks for the reply Jarred.

So did the magic pixies visit over night and upgrade the projector??

:wink5:

[Rob Ruffo]

I want 2 separate resolutions to be selectable:

1 - Viewing resolution
2 - Recorded resolsution.

That way I can, say, frame for 4K 16:9 (PLEASE bring back 4K 16:9 in some way or other - and other 16:9 formats - it's great to say that 2:1 should be the new format, and I do agree based on aesthetics, but for the people who pay the bills here it's simply not) but record full 5K, to have great reframing abilities in post.

Crop based on what was selected in viewing would be recorded into metadata, so the post guys know exactly what was intended and don't say I was incompetent if you can see a mic or stand in the corners of the frame.

Sound good to you guys too?

[Alan Peterson]

The mentions of stop-motion earlier got me curious - are there plans to implement RAW streaming out through USB3/Thunderbolt/whatever in the future? Being able to have that RAW stream coming into Dragon Frame or other stop-motion software would be an animator's dream. Recording through software onto a RAID would be handy too, of course.

Also, I noticed that RCX Pro on OSX is only using 2-3 processor cores when debayering/encoding (I'm guessing 2 threads for debayering, and 1-2 for encoding). Are there plans to rewrite it to take advantage of Grand Central Dispatch in the future, or is RedRocket the only option for more speed? I'm not too optimistic on this one since the program just underwent a major rewrite, but a man can hope :)

Why not set user defined framing guides and shoot a framing chart for the 4k area and shoot 5k. I've done it before and it works well for what you are trying to accomplish.

[Isaac Babcock]

Late to the party, but thanks for this thread and all the info.
From my perspective:

+ 1 on the power management (hoping sleep mode is on there???)
+10 on the pre-record (I can't believe how much I'm missing this feature after getting used to in on the Red One, it's indispensable with wildlife shooting)

thanks for all the hard work.

[Adam Van Dyke]

Will the Pro IO and Meizler Module clear the shoulder rest on the Clutch?

[Max M.]

Jarred, great thread. My question: Will the 50-150 red zoom come back in a slightly new design matching the 17-50 v2?, that would be really awesome!

[Paul Hazlett]

We will let those guys speak when they are ready :)
cough...adobe...cough cough...
