Future Question
This is a way down the road question but I have been thinking about it so I thought I would ask. The super cool RED camera that is supposed to be coming out someday. I know that camera can shoot 1080p and I am guessing it is like 720p and not 30p in a 1080i format. If it is a true 1080p can the DVCpro 100 codec support it once transcoded, or would it try to convert it to a 1080i?
Just wondering?
Thanks,

That camera doesn’t really shoot 1080p…it shoots 5k, then you can downconvert to anything you want.
Yes..5k. Not 4k…5k. You have a LOT of reading to do…I suggest:
http://www.hdforindies.com Mike Curtis has the inside track on this camera
http://www.dvxuser.com. They have a RED section.
This camera shoots film quality imagry. VERY impressive. 1080p is quite a step DOWN for it.

You are so right this camera is very impressive. I have been looking at it for a while now and hope to see them at NAB. I’ll look at the other links.
Thanks,

Oh yeah, here’s 2K (ok, not 2k but 1080p60) right in your ear:

Interesting. I never heard of those cameras before. Perhaps there is a buz around this camera because of the price some where around $17,000 for the body. I didn’t see any other prices on the other sites for their cameras.

That’s because they cost an arm and a leg- closer to $50,000 and even $100,000. Yes, Red is a quite revolutionary camera both in specs and price, here’s hoping they make it to market soon.

The sensor is nearly 5k at 4900×2580, but some of those pixels are reserved for black balance and the like, leaving a maximum shooting area of 4520×2540, what we call 2540p or 4.5k. For recording via REDCODE, make frame size is 4096×2304 which is 4k 16:9.
Thanks for “This camera shoots film quality imagry. VERY impressive. 1080p is quite a step DOWN for it.” comment Shane. That’s very much appreciated as we’ve been putting a lot of work into the image. Looking forwards to showing you more at NAB Shane!
