It’s interesting that RED’s 4K sensor is smaller than Canon’s APS-C or Nikon’s DX.

[...] The Canon fanboys are going off here, and the RED-heads are going off here. Go forth and flame. (Jannard responds here) [...]

I’m hoping more for the APS-C sized sensor than FF. It’ll be an easy translation for my AC’s and more versatile for movie productions (using cine primes and such).

Well live capture HD-SDI not HDV is the ultimate way to go. Still I prefer the lens looks from the 5D2, if only it could output full HDMI. For now I can live with 50 mbps h264. A new pro video camera would be awesome, though I’m hoping its FF sensor with EF mount instead of XL.

Well, actually I was referring to a live capture, not capturing from something that was already recorded to tape (and therefore going through the HDV compression).

Convergent Designs has something called the Nanoflash which mounts on the camera and records the uncompressed HD-SDI signal and encodes it to 220mb MPEG2 which is very nice!

I hope this supposed 29th announcement is this APS-C technology in an XL body. WOuld be very nice :)

No, I was going to upgrade the drives and ram but I ended up with 1080p file based recording. If RED ever makes the Scarlet, or Canon makes a 4K camera, I’ll upgrade the Kona workstation to do 4K realtime. For 1080p h264 & AVCHD files I’m digging the HDSpark and Eduis Pro 5, blazing fast workflow, no converting, and works with any framerate or format (up to 1080p) on the same timeline.

Well for editing purposes outputting via HD-SDI uncompressed capture is going to be better than editing native h264 copmressed files, but you can do the same trick and convert the origial h264 files to uncompressed HD before editing. I suspect because the 5D2 records at twice the bit rate over HDV, and there’s no pixel shift to bump it to full HD, that converting it to uncompressed will produce a better file than converted HDV.

I have a Kona IO board too. I stopped using it though as I’m not using tape anymore.

Our next one will be “Two”.

Our marketing consultant needed bed rest after coming up with that one.

If it’s RED RAW I find a soothing poultice helps. But don’t use cream on burns, it’s better on apple pie.

I hope you tried with at least 8GB of ram and a dual channel disk array capable of a sustained rate of at least 460 kb/sec… that’s what I use with the AJA IO for 1080 10 bit uncompressed and 2K… even 4K red files work great!
