Broadcast standard/RED RAY revisited

[Peter Majtan]

Interesting idea - but how would You couple them together? Also - on what exactly would You watch the 4K image?
You could just pop the CF out of Red One and into the Red-Ray for playback, while You keep filming on another CF card. But since Your CF is actually a "original negative" - I would strongly advice against it...

Now imagine the Red-Ray having a build-in SSD/HDD and off-load function! Wouldn't that be cool? You can backup Your CF to the SSD/HDD and use that copy to play with the footage on location - replay, quick grade, quick edit, etc... Your CF is kept safely away and You KNOW You have the shot You wanted and it is already backed up... Even if this would drive the Red-Ray to $2K+ - it would be worth it - at least for me... You could always have two versions:

- one as simple playback unit (as announced)
- higher-end model as pro "VTR" deck with build-in SSD/HDD and a good quality LCD (at least full HD). You could do quick edits, etc.. and backup Your footage to the SSD/HDD

How about some sort of ESATA splitter. One to the deck the other to the drive. Maybe ESATA and CF will operate at same time. 4k monitors are coming soon enough. Of that I have little doubt.

Given Jim's post today...
"Domestic" RedRay/4K anyone....

Bump.

Would love to see an update on this.

As I understand it Red Ray is a player only at the moment...If Red could enable mastering within Avid or DS -that would be sweet...being able to write back to SSD somehow, as you can with P2.

Right now all there is when delivering content to North American broadcasters is HD SR. I'd love to be able to output a master based on my deliverables, and then simply send the RR to my post house of choice so they can generate the HDSR master with Closed Captioning embedded.

FYI a used SRW-5500 is still $70,000+

Screen Daily just announced that Berlinale will be premiering Taxi Driver and a documentary by student film-makers 'Stuttgart 21 – Think To Remember (Stuttgart 21 – Denk mal!)' in 4K.

Hoping this NAB will show us the goods.

This is a very quiet part of the forum.

That being said, Canada is looking to start a pay for data fee to our Internet...
We here are not impressed.
