Dragon update...

[Ryan De Franco]

Jim! Jarred! Greater dynamic range is great, ISO 2000 is fantastic, what can you tell us about color optimization?

MX gave Peter Jackson and the rest of us cleaner skintones. What can we expect from Dragon?

[Joe Taylor]

I'm very excited about this upgrade but there is some confusion on using all the extra real estate of the sensor. If Dragon is a full frame sensor in the same vein as VistaVision and/or the same frame size as a classic 35mm still frame which is more rectangular 3:2 in ratio. So when Dragon is shooting 2:1 or thereabouts how much of the vertical area of the sensor will it be cropping out to get that classic widescreen image?

Dragon is not a full frame (36x24mm) sensor.

How long is it taking you to do a black calibration with the Dragon?

[brian leisring]

Any chance we get a sneak peak at what the sensor can do? A bit of footage from it while we wait for the upgrade, love that we all will essentially get a new camera for the price of a decent lens.

The Epic just keeps getting better for Redusers, I can't wait to see how the Dragon performs.

Please RED bring out the ProRes/MXF DNxHD module so our Epic's can get used more as although the Alexa isn't as good, Producers don't care as its "easy" to work with.
Having a ProRes/MXF DNxHD module would end that argument period. The longer its keep from us the longer we miss out on vital rental income and we miss working on projects.
