Red Ray integrating Light Peak?

[Peter Mosiman]

So I have been on a Light Peak fact finding mission recently and it seems that this is the tech to invest in especially for something like Red Ray.

I was just curious if RED was planning on integrating Light Peak in its first release of the product or if it was going to wait until v2?

If you guys end up waiting, what would be the main purpose of doing so when LP can deliver so much to the table?

Cheers!

Q: As RED RAY data rate is about 15 Mbps what would Light Peak offer that even USB-2 doesn't already provide?

[Peter Mosiman]

That is a good question. I'd venture to say that the ability to interconnect the REDRAY straight into a projector via a single cable?

now theres an interesting thought. would sure beat 4 cables for 4k projection. Though I doubt there's a protocol for that over lightpeak at the moment. would be awesome tho if maybe the redray had a module bay to leave possibilities open when a protocol is set?
for all we know Red already has left a possibility to upgrade redray sometime in the future:-P

It's 4 cables if you're using DVI. If you're feeding a 4K projector using SDI, it's 8 cables (quad dual link).

Both DVI and SDI are designed to carry video data. LightPeak is allegedly a general purpose data transport, but there is no protocol that I know of for video on it.

hehe, makes it all that much more desirable to be able to use lightpeak:-)

i'm not sure but guessing that 4k projection is a total of what... 12 gbps? so may need to wait a bit till they scale up the datarate of lightpeak to only use single cable:-P

The best lightpeek suggestion yet!

looks like there is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kidmWiqKzqY

just matter of time for 4k if its not there already:-D

Well, there you go. Learn something new every day.

Thats the same video that I watched that gave me the idea. Could be useful in simplifying the amount of things a theater chain/projectionist has to do to workflow wise.
