From jump, RED has only supported progressive - interlace not spoken here.

Truthfully, It was kind of cool and groundbreaking just to be able to say you used REDs on a live shoot back in the day - but its not really that special or unique any more. Unless it's a one off and you need to use your own cameras - there are probably easier and more appropriate options for 4K live Multicam production. REDs are great but "horses for courses".

Komodo with its 4K SDI out is a step in the right direction but still progressive; and you still have issues implementing the other kit (CCU control for color matching and iris control, tally, talkback, etc.) that is the norm on multi camera live shoots.

The WiFi on the Komodo opens so many doors. I'd really love to see the SRT protocol (with NTP) added to the firmware :)

Looks like the Z-Cams will have this feature: https://www.newsshooter.com/2020/05/...4-price-drops/
