I am reading that we are suppose to get 100Fps, Is this correct? I can only get 75Fps with my system but I only have the Hard Drive, could the Hard Drive be the reason?

As I am typing this I am thinking maybe it is because I am recording at the higher quality setting?

Thanks, Mark

It's coming, but 75fps is as high as they have currently optimised for. HTH

Correct, 75 fps at 2K is the fastest the camera can operate with these current builds, but the target is indeed 100 fps. And the RED-DRIVE will be fast enough for that frame rate.

Will 100fps at 2k have to be at a more squeezed version of redcode? I hope not...

Shouldn't need to be, as the 2K Redcode datarate scaled up to 100fps is still only about 30MB/s. You won't be able to use the RedCode36 option, though - that'd give you 192MB/s, assuming it's a linear scale (can't see why it wouldn't be, though?).
