RED: Prepare yourself for the Big Change

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

There will be quite a few pleasant surprises on Dec. 3rd. But one thing should be kept in mind. You have to pay extra for frame rates. It is fairly easy and inexpensive to build a 5fps camera these days. It becomes quite a different story to get 30fps. 100fps is exponentially more difficult.

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. :-)

Jim
