...will go live at 9am PST.

...oh the torture!

www.red.com

That's Monday 17:00 (5 PM) in GMT time

I was at the site all morning, waiting like a kid on Christmas Morning, suddently an overwhelming feeling of disappointment came over me. Counting down with the Website at 9:14 am, 10, 9, 8,... then the timer started over, saying 1 DAYS 1 HOURS 1 MINUTES 60 SECONDS.

The anticipation was almost unbearable then to be subjected to that. Waiting is half the fun, finding out is the other half. I haven't been this excited for a product in long time, then again, I haven't felt this disappointment either.

I need a life!

Have to admit I was a bit 'letdown' at 00:00:00. Now it's counting up...oh well, more details to follow later today.

-gb-

Cool, I wasn't the only one here that felt like that! I was thinking since it was so secretive and all, the site would have gone to a live broadcast and the unveiling or something spectacular. Instead we get a clock that is counting up. Thats a bunch of whoooweeee.

I just got fired, because I was using company time waiting for nothing to happen..

just kidding. :-)

Lets all just look forward to what they have to offer. The site does say it is going to be announced live at NAB and not the website.

Just adjust your clock to Pacific time.

I just did and nothing happened. LOL just kidding. I'll have to wait until 11:00 am Central now. It's gonna feel like 24 hours.

...so we had that already 9 hours ago :(

Well, I figured that count down "bug" out a few days ago, when my computer local time was wrong and the count down too.

I hope the rest of the stuff is a bit more clever :))) programmed.

Waiting.... Waiting...
It sould be online now right?

No you have a half hour. It's pacific standard time it gets announced which means 12 noon eastern standard time or give or take depending on your time zone.

As far as hype goes, I give RED the crown. Definitely the most excitedly awaited product at NAB. Kudos to the marketing team.

Now online!

Man it looks incredible. all the waiting has been worth it. take a peep now!

Cheers,

Not online. The link still just has the flash button.

The site is online, try to refresh the page a few times

you will need to download the latest flash player to see it.

what i feared happened...the designers desperately tried to make it look cool..lots of decorative stuff ...very 90's

EDIT: the lens is nice though

I did and cleared cache on www.red.com. It will only load the swf file and the source shows it. Are you using another site?

Here's a direct link

Thanks. The index2 link covers it.

It worked from me.

looks interesting enough, but who needs a 300f2.8
as the first lens? They should have struck a deal with Nikon to use
the F mount and have a huge variety of lenses and focal lengths to choose
from. until there is footage, this is still vaporware.

Looks like a pirahna somehow... Cool I must say!

This thing rocks! If it records as well as it looks you have a winner here. Frankly I was worried that you'd have something eerie like a Kinnetta but this thing is amazing.

Looks interesting, more a basis of a system rather than a camera as such.

Big Big weakness is that it's not shoulder mounted, although perhaps that's something that happens when the flash memory/hard drive is mounted. Unfortunately, it's still in the 1960s ergonomically and that will be a problem once it's in a working trim with batteries, lenses etc and you're working with it all day.

Like all cameras using 35mm lenses, it'll be quite large in Studio mode, even a Arri 35 IIc gets large once the 5 to 1 or 10 to 1 zoom plus the 6.6 x 6.6 matte box is fitted.

LOVE IT!!!
REALLY LOVE IT..

Not the design I had in my head, but still extremly cool.

But where is the viewfinder? I only see a LCD... DOH!

Lets' see all the other stuff, I'd wish the homepage got more info.

Blow it! The Klingons, Romulans, Borge, and Dominion, are in trouble with a ship like that ;)


What's the price?

I've gotta know more about the zoom lens.
Those cages are insane

I don't quite understand what the ring is for on the 'gun cage' ???

It looks like it is supposed to attach to something, but no idea what?

Dean did you click on the logo? Do you have the latest flash player?

Its to wrap around your shoulder for support.

"MSRP of $17,500 for RED ONE camera."

I'll take 2 of them. Nice!

$17,500?.. crap. they are really going to shake things up.

in the cage, minus the lens, it looks like a light for stage or concert halls. Weird!

um, I think you guys are having thewool pulled over your eyes.
17K for the body. No lens, no recording system, etc.... No viewfinder,
and what appears to be a 4:3 LCD instead of widescreen. You be loooking
at 30K or so. No thanks, I'll pass. Won't spend that kind of money for
an independant system with no worldwide support. I'll take an
XDCAM or HDX900 instead.

if that's really the stage the camera is (a couple of renderings/a rapid prototype model at NAB) it'll be really hard to meet their deadlines. for a product of this complexity if you have a final working cnc machined prototype where no more changes will appear it usually takes at least a year to get it manufactured. maybe they hide the other stuff :)

What does the NAB prototype look like? The one on the site looks like a CGI.

Does anyone else think that the ergonomics are a little strange??

Or a pulse rifle ;)

Let me ask, how much does a drive cost that can record the 100Mb/s Red codec, and a 35mm adaptor for secondhand SLR lens, and a future Imagine OELD Eye display? Less than $20K when including the camera for low cost 1080/720p shooting. So there is ways, if you want to save money. But let's wait to it comes out to see it.

I don't see it anywhere, but I assume the camera has XLR connections on the body?

I believe it does...here is an interview with Jim.

If you look at the back of one of the mockup photos it shows two XLR jacks under what looks like two slots for hard drives.

It's a dream system. Well thought out, but i have this feeling that it will be vaporware for a year. NAB 2007 will be the real Red coming out party.

I hope I'm wrong though,,

Cheers

Thanks, some very good info there.

agree... at first glance i dont see the whole picture of what this camera would end looking, but really look unique and rugged for war :D
for sure it has the oakley touch imho
congrats to Jim and his equipment behind this

Cool, but if there is 4 channel sound, would there not need to be 4 XLR connections?

maybe this is just a concept sketch

For those of us who are not lucky enough to get to NAB, could some of you post some pictures from the floor? Thanks!
