Love what you are doing!

Perhaps staying at 6K for Komodo allowed them to keep the size, cost, and media requirements low enough that they could produce a camera worthy of the RED marque for a modest price...

I'm guessing that 6K scaled to 4K in camera will provide post with the 4K files they will accept.

1) Perhaps RED expected 3rd parties would use the SDK to develop tools well suited to VFX needs

2) Perhaps the processing muscle required makes it painfully slow - or at least it did in 2012

3)...

There are clearly limitations on what can and cannot be addressed with a particular technique. SteadXP suggests there's potential for embedding positional data in metadata to enhance stabilization...

There are a lot of angles (pun fortunate), on capturing positional data during acquisition for a host of post processes. Custom integration using RED's SDK is great if that's your jam, but it seems...

It would appear that RED saw the potential for gyro data, put basic hooks into the SDK and expected 3rd party interest. AFAIK, the uptake was weak which meant RED saw little reason to devote...

I'm VERY interested seeing footage. The potential to create custom "shutter" characteristics opens up so many creative doors.

I hope the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics will push Panasonic to get this tech into shipping cameras sooner than later. The white paper is mind blowing, but so are many others I've read. No idea how...

Also interested in the status of accessing the on board gyro data. Since it was first introduced, I've imagined a stabilization tool in RedCineX-Pro. Would love to be able to do a first light grade,...

I agree, many people can resolve more than 100MP. What I question is whether or not one could actually discern a difference between a 128MP and 256MP display in any real world viewing environment.

Display options these days range from phone screens to IMAX. What stays the same is us - the wetware. Assuming you want to keep the whole image in your visual field, there's limit to how close you...

Oversampling is of particular importance with Bayer pattern sensors due to their design. The short version is that shooting 6K for 4K provides enough discrete values that a decent algorithm can...

Congrats. Well deserved. Among the many things I appreciate about your work:

1) Your facility at integrating moving camera shots with static frames so fluidly that even steadicam moves don't call...

With a Bayer pattern CMOS sensor, 100 megapixels sounds pretty good

I suppose 25 stops at capture would have some value, but 20 clean stops would be enough to create high fidelity imagery...

At the time I decided to buy a Monstro I knew it's value would decline fairly rapidly, that's what cameras do. This program probably dropped its resale value another $5-10K this week. That said,...

Display tech will continue to improve, which means that continual improvement in capture devices has meaning.

Currently, the laggard is bandwidth limitations that lead to over compression and bit...

Couldn't agree more.

It certainly sounds like a good term for the viewers... ;-)

The shootout I'd like to see is the FX9, C500Mk2, BMPCC6K and DSMC2 Gemini...

This thread has spent far too many pages going in circles - and reaching conclusions not in evidence - but there are some fundamental points that have real merit.

1) The quality gap between motion...

My theoretical option #1 noted "provide an entry point into the RED ecosystem". I deliberately bundled the higher volume sales goal with the lowered cost of entry benefit as I believe they are...

Looking forward to these, but afraid to ask what they cost...

The DSMC2 design ethos was about putting state of the art motion imaging into the smallest form factor manageable. IMO, the power of that combination was so great that ARRI was compelled to make the...
