[Joe Marler] “It is implemented using an FPGA, not a fixed-function, full-custom ASIC. In theory this can be reprogrammed in the field to incorporate new algorithms, codecs, etc. “
I’m not sure this is something a user would be able to do in the field. Plus, other attempts at FPGAs in a card when done in the past still resulted in obsolete cards. Hopefully that part of the technology has improved.

Yes BM use FPGA cards in their cameras and it is indeed why they have been able to be updated in the field to new codecs. A laptop and USB cable is all you need to update new software that does indeed add new functionality.
FPGA capability was one of the IP gifts that Fairlight brought to BM. Fairlight have been using FPGAs for over 14 years. They are not power hungry.

A bit of marketing pushback from RED ☺

Redcode has always been a fantastic tool – its a very impressive codec that can be revisited a few years later with the new colour science and produce even better results than you previously expected.
I really, really hope that the new Mac Pro can provide some performance boosts when dealing with redcode footage.
