REDray Player...

Is the hard drive upgradeable?

[Mike 'Fireman' Ross]

Stuart, at NAB last year you were showing two Rays - a 'Pro' which was to ship real soon, and a 'prosumer' unit for further down the road.

Are these now rolled into one? Or is the prosumer Ray dropped as part of the 'stick to the high-end pro only' strategy?

of course :)

All these updates, I am in ridiculous land right now. Wish I was there to say hello and see the 4k. Was there a screening of some Hobbit footage yet?

No footage of the Hobbits just the Title used on a keynote presentation by Michael Cioni, a very Bd A^%$ presentation that is... ;)

USB 3.0 please. It's gotta be right?

[Henrik Cednert]

Any more technical info about the REDPASS DRM and how that will work? I mean for your own content and so. Will there be a standalone application for encoding and DRM'ing your stuffs?

Will it play by 4K material at 2:1 aspect ratio?

No need to pair, the REDray Projector includes a REDray Player.

Oh, wow. <speechless>

This is an incredible deal when you consider the target price for the projector is around $10K. Considering until recently theaters were paying $50K-$100K for glorified 1080p projectors, the value offered by new Redray projector defies belief.

Even the most miserly / pessimistic theater owner(s) have no excuse not to upgrade to 4K.. 4K is happening, only question is whether Red can produce thousands of projectors per year or not.

Will anything beyond a cuts-only edit of R3D format content need to conform to DPX for output through REDray?

How is the workflow envisioned (at the simplest level) if I shoot an R3D and want to dissolve to another shot, crop or reframe? Will there be a point where we can use the R3D format in a bi-directional mode, writing R3D compressed data, or will DPX (or similar) always take over when creation of new frames is required? Interested on the impact with regard to editing choices and desktop level workflow.

As I understand it, there is a separate RGB RedCode they've developed that is low bit rate (~15Mbit/sec?). That's what you'll want to do a final encode to and ship over the Internet (with or without their DRM).
