November 30th Announcement Feedback

[Imran Farouk]

That UI is just too cool! I can't wait to play around with it! Might jump for a scarlet as well as the epic by the sounds of things!

[Jerry Hofmann]

All I have to say is WOW... congrats guys, the gear is looking amazing!

I saw some prices that went down as much as 300 hundred bucks (i.e. the 5" LCD from 1500 down to 1200 now). and some others that now have a price range and could potentially be up to a few hundred dollars cheaper than they were.

Looks like more things got cheaper (or potentially cheaper) than anything else concerning the modules.

5" LCD now is 1600, and 2.8" LCD is 900 (it was 800)... so went UP.....
of course we should know: everything is subject to change...

5" now is 1600, and 2.8" is 900... so went UP.....

my bad. that changed since yesterday. Didn't see that.

Looks more in line with the prices they announced during the Oct. 30th announcement.

laer,

funny how many people just jump in asking questions without reading.

Thanks guys everything sounds great, and along what I was expecting.

Well back to shooting.

Of course.. it's called LOOK AROUND and it's been a function of the EVF and LCD monitoring outputs on the RED ONE camera since day one.

Very good surprise for me, I didn't know R1 already proposed this.
I don't really understand how it works with everything going through the lense but i'm happy as i always loved composing frame with leica Ms compared to SLRs...

[Stuart English]

...does this include HDMI and HD-SDI outputs or just the RED monitor(s) and EVF?

Yes, frame guide choices are independent per monitor output. Lots of flexibility here.

So just as one example - the camera's default operational setup - a 5" touchscreen LCD may be showing full camera menus plus Look Around and Frame Guide graphics, the HDMI output may be providing a 720p Preview Output with Safe Action and Safe Title, and the HD-SDI output (on EPIC bodies, or either I/O module) may be providing a clean feed (no graphics) 1080p Program Output.

I notice the resolution of the UI sample you've posted is 800x480 - will there be any standard XGA, SXGA or 720p options for third-party monitors?

Monitor output resolutions are also very flexible, so for each output we can scale the monitor path information to support 720p or 1080p or 800 x 480 etc....

Yeah, I just saw that for the first time.

I think it could mean one of two things...

(1) That is the actual pricing and it's changed yet again. (I'd be highly surprised if this was the case)

or (2) These prices were actually not supposed to be updated as of yet, and will be made official upon release.

Just my guessin'...

What about the new LCDs resulotion?
Will the 2.8" LCD be at least like nikon's 3" LCD? (..and use lcd viewfinder)

This might be because there is something I dont understand about the feature,

BUT I am very concerned about a "5 axis" adjustable sensor.... in my mind the simpler the design the less problems... a sensor being "off axis" in the field, would be a show stopper.

If it was up to me there would not even be a backfocus to adjust:)

but as I said it might be a really cool feature I just don't understand....
