Yip first Jim comes out with the mind blowing RED announcements on the 13th November. Showing us a preview of the awesome modular options available at awesome resolutions and frame rates. All the while saying that things may change.
Have they?
On the 3rd Dec, only a day away, we are told that there will be a Big Change.
What will that be? I cannot guess nor sum up the ideas that people have put up on the RED User forum.
But I can post Jim’s words from the forum that he titled “Be Prepared”
It isn’t just the sensor, although that is a big cost. Passing large quantities of data requires a significantly more complex electronics package and heat management program. Add lower quantities of production to the mix and buying frame rate capability costs more. A lot more.
We are very excited about the updated release and I can’t see anyone being disappointed. But keep your expectations in check for a couple more days… if possible.
