Thanks for the update Phil!!! Great work man!

Phil's the man!! Killin it!

I haven't looked at the download samples yet and compared to Helium samples at the same ISO. Good thinking

If Monstro doesn't use the same ISO calibration that Helium does, you should really compare the Helium shots pulled down one stop. Considering the patch notes to DSMC Build v7.0.0 says "Added new ISO calibration for HELIUM 8K S35 cameras" and doesn't mention Monstro, I suspect this to be true.

Ah, you bring up a good point, Aaron. It wasn't "added" to MONSTRO, since it always had it. Same ISO calibration as HELIUM.

I aaaaaaalmost got a Raven back when it was "cheap", registered here thinking I might but it never happened and I was hoping Red would do a real "budget" camera, for relative values of budget. But seeing what you do, %¤#& that. Give the guys who can afford it 16K and 20 stops @ 300 fps in a medium format sensor and I'll be happy to stand in your shadow. What you do keeps raising the bar for everyone else. Pretty soon it's a single candle and you can still see better than humans....

get a Hydrogen.

Thankyou Team Red for working so diligently (and stealthily) on another technological breakthrough for us all.
I guess the Monstro (Silicon) design can scale in ways the Dragon could not.

I was wholeheartedly impressed the that Monstro VV will be IPP2 and get sizeable jump in SNR in low light;
But Completely overwhelmed on discovering that my VV queue deposit for a Dragon will now be for a Monstro!

Question : Will the Monstro end up with a new set of OLPFs optimised for this Sensor?

Funny, the years defending Dragon noise as "filmic / organic texture" is out the window . . . when you have Monstro's clean shadows as an option ;-)

[John Brennick]

Is there any idea as to when ordering a monstro for current weapon helium owners will open up to start preparing/budgeting? And if you're not in Armor-W, and you get the upgrade to Monstro, you give back your helium sensor? Only way to keep the sensor is to be in Armor-W? Great work all.

Filmic is sohhhh 20th Century. '-)
