What we might see at NAB 08?

Jacques Mersereau · April 3rd, 2008, 08:16 AM

I am going to NAB and am wondering what we might expect to see at the RED booth this year? Naturally, I plan on hitting the RED both in any case and love surprises, but if there is anything you can let us know about in advance that might be helpful.

This is a quote from Jim on the Reduser board:

"There will be three new major things to see at the RED booth at NAB 2008. That does not include the new 18-85mm RED zoom or the RED Prime lens working prototypes.

Yes, Scarlet is one of them...

I'd encourage anyone that comes to NAB to stop by the booth. The 4K theater presentation will be easier to see this year (I think). The entry will be from the outside of the booth, which will allow much easier access to the main part of the tent.

If you were surprised at RED 2006 or RED 2007, you will not be disappointed with RED 2008.

See you there... I'll be the one that smells like cigar smoke.

Jim"

4K monitoring has mentioned a while back, but there hasn't been any new hints about it dropped since--that would be quite amazing, though, right now RED camera monitoring is available in 720p and doesn't really do justice to the image.

once SCARLET was mentioned in the same breath as 4K monitoring, all of the rampant speculation and interest has been about the forthcoming pocket professional camera, but i'm way more interested in better monitoring and especially better delivery systems, at this point--

Maybe we'll get some 4K Soderbergh footage in the screening room...just hoping.
4K monitors and a 4K set top box are my guesses.
