The Countdown has begun

They said there will NOT be a working prototype at NAB. Only a non-working mock-up. They also said their goal is end of the year shipping.
 
Correct... although this is not your everyday cardboard mock-up. We actually have lots to show and I'll be very surprised if anyone is disappointed. If I am wrong, I am sure I'll hear about it.

Thanks Jim! :)
But...about Pal and Ntsc model, d'you think to make an universal model?
Ya know, delay issues about different models are very annoying!:(
I'm sure you think the same! :)
Greetings:dankk2:

HD is NTSC/PAL independent? It's all progressive video as far as I understand it. So it should be one camera for all.

Hey Jim how do you beta test something like this? Do you give it to a bunch of cinematographers and say "hey you go shoot something in the artic and you go shoot something in the desert"?

How does that work?

And, more importantly, can I test one?

It rains a lot over here in the UK and we have "extreme" grey skies at times, so I'm sure your camera will need a thorough workout in our difficult climate before it can be safely passed as fit for general use.

the beta program is very easy to get into. You give RED your credit card number, they take a little "administration" fee and they give you the camera to do whatever you want with. :)

So it will record 25p and 50p? Man, that would be GREAT.

I think Jim's stated somewhere that the camera will do 1-60fps at 4k. Which means (I assume) you just dial in the frame-rate you want and, hey presto, the thing just works. Which is why Jim is saying it's a "world camera" - you can literally just run it at the correct frame rate for your country/outlet/project as you would with, say, an Arri film camera.

The only issue that would require country-specific attention would be, I guess, to do with power. If you were to run the camera off the mains (if that's even a possibility) then it would have to be compatible with the country it's in. But that shouldn't be an issue and I suspect it's gonna be a mainly (if not exclusively) battery-operated camera anyway.

Man, am I eager to see this!
