HD For Indies

(due to DV's crazy login procedures, I can't link directly. Harrumph. Register/sign in, and it is presently the top article on the site as of Saturday morning).

Lots of details, some I've covered, some new, definitely worth reading. I'm off to the Digital Cinema Summit right now, no time to summarize for you folks.

Go read it!

And if you're attending NAB, find me on the floor in the Red booth all day Monday and part of Tuesday.

UPDATE - OK, NOW I'VE ACTUALLY READ IT - THERE'S LOTS OF STUFF I HAVEN'T DISCUSSED YET, SO GO READ IT..

Ted talks about wavelet based codecs, how it's a tapeless camera, the use of digital magazines, all kinds of good stuff.

Windowing the sensor down to get higher frame rates. Lots of juicy details!

Codex will be in the booth showing recording capabilities, and Assimilate will be showing how Scratch and work with 2K files in a viable way.

What about NLEs?

And then you'll most likely see a Final Cut station as a popular NLE choice. A lot of folks know a big part of my life at AJA was working with Apple, so that is a logical choice for me when it comes to what NLE to show first. We will of course support as best we can whatever NLE, DI products, storage products, etc. that our customers for the Red camera ask us to support.
