What do want to use RED RAY for, list here:

[Gunleik Groven]

1. Deck in studio. (Let's kick those RAIDS home where they belong)
2. Playback/Distribution when we feed our Christies and SRXs
3. That DVD? I don't need it. I need two flash slots, so that one can load films like reels for playback/editing. I can playback from flash cards as well...
4. Surround audio
5. Several RedRays to be stackable and sync'able to feed several streams of 4k over esata into an NLE for realtime playback and editing

For a start... :)
And they should come with a nice milkgirl for unpacking, a porche and a set of ray-bans, nikes or whatever shades you prefer...

[Peter Majtan]

Forget Ray-bans or Nike's - it would have to be Okley I'm afraid... (not that there is anything wrong with it...)

I would like to see a portable dual-deck for on-location editing and preview. Of course it wouldn't hurt to have matched 4K/2K RED mini-projector or at least a 2K monitor...

[Peter Majtan]

Yeah - and I second the milkgirl delivery idea...

[C.H.Haskell]

I would like to head over to www.withoutabox.com (a worldwide film festival network) and give them the heads up on RedRay so that they can spread the concept to every major (and mini) festival around the world. When they catch the RED fever they could then add a "RED READY" festival icon for each festival that supports REDRAY playback. OFF TOPIC...If you have festival ready film in the can (or drive?) then this site is an incredible place to start.

www.withoutabox.com really is fantastic. Makes it reaaaally easy to submit to festivals.

I'm the Admin over there. We know about it. I think it's a little premature to start evangelizing it. Let's see a product first and then filmmakers will embrace it. Obviously it's going to be potentially huge for festival and indie theatrical projection. But like everyone else I wanna see the gear before I pop the cork. That said, it being RED I expect it to deliver in psade.

My brother Stephen suggested this idea, you could use RED RAY to drive systems with more than one display device. For example, if you wanted to do some kind of presentation with four video projectors in a row forming one long image, you could use RED RAY in 4K mode and send a different HD output to each projector. You'd set up the video so that it was perfectly sliced in the right places (easy in After Effects) so that the images lined up.

A built in Blu-Ray burner for creating easily viewable, on set dailies within minutes, not hours or days.
