This is such a good idea.
This is the kind of thing that is going to make this camera stand above the rest. Thanks Jarred for putting on such a cool contest. This is the reason DVXuser is know not only as one of the best (In my opinion the best) Production board on the internet, but a community that is changing the way video and film production is being done.

yikes not sure about that, i mean it can shot SD, HD 2K and 4K, 60 30 frames rates, alot more than that, uncompressed 4:4:4 but 24fps? hrmm, arent we asking a little much?
 
ha ha ha.. yeah it will only shoot 23 and 25 fps.. sorry :)

thats a joke for you serious people out there.. of course it will shoot 24.
 
i wish i could shove everyone in this forum into a studio and force you all to make a movie together with unlimited equipment, i of course could be some use as either acting or production :) wink wink, hint hint.
 
Open Source Camera

Open Source Camera

Not sure whether or not this idea has been posted before - all or in part.

My idea isn't a concrete "do-this"-idea - it's more of a philosophy really: Make the camera "open source".

What I'm suggesting is that RED makes all the information about connectivity and specifications available to the public to open up the camera to third party developers who want to make accessories, plug-ins, their own codecs, cages, steadicam-systems - whatever really.

Make the software on the camera updateable - and make an API so that software developers can develop their own specific software for the camera - like calibration tools, video analyzing programs, motion control systems that integrates into the camera etc.

Unfortunately this doesn't guarantee quality and reliability.
Will you take the risk to shoot professionaly a movie with an open source camera where no one will take responsibility if something goes wrong, e.g bugs in firmware?
It would be a viable solution only if the quality, reliability and interoperability of the open source firmware were controlled and certified by an independent company.
