Sorry, forgot to respond to Ed’s post…….
I agree, RED cams are not the sort of kit you would want to use for run & gun, but for features…….they are the business!!!!
*Check out the footage/stills on RED’s website!!!!

Hey Johnny,
The RED cam range looks like the future to me, and at the moment they are unique in every respect, but it will only be a matter of time before the market leaders step up to the mark, and produce a budget 3/4k camera.
Sony, JVC, etc have deep enough pockets to be able to license the technology from RED, and produce their own take on the RED cam, but will this happen?, well, only time will tell.
The only drawback at the moment with going the RED cam route is the cost of a set of primes, OK, you can get a Nikon, or Canon adaptor for Scarlet, but to produce the best results you would have to shell out $40,000 – $60,000 for a used set of primes.
I was very tempted to buy a RED One late last year, but I’m holding off for a while, as I want to see what the big hitters have up their sleeves!!!
Oh, before I forget, still no news on the plate I’m sorry to say, but I’m still trying!!
Hope all’s well, take care.Regards & best wishes

Hello Qasim,
The camera you are using is a compact VHS machine, and as such the footage is bound to be a bit on the soft side/pixelated when played back on a Mac monitor.
Could you please let me have a bit more info….ie: What capture settings are you using?, etc, etc.All the best

Hello Chet,
Um, interesting question. As far as I know, there isn’t a pixel blanking procedure for your camera, but I will check on Tuesday, (after the Easter holidays), and get back to you.
Happy Easter to one and all!!!Regards & best wishes

Hello Johnny,
Sorry for the delay getting back to you. I haven’t as yet, but I’ve got a job coming up soon, which might require it.
I’d opt for the AJA over the Kona, but hey, that’s just my opinion!! From what I’ve seen the workflow is pretty straightforward, and painless, and would be worth the cost….but only if you needed to do it.All the best

PS: Might have the plate you needed…..I’m just waiting for a call in the morning.

Hello Johnny,
I’ve also been using Tim’s recipes, namely:
A: Superwide (Which is superb)
B: DSC CDM28 Calibrated
I’ve also found that the ‘White paint’ function on the 251 is amazing!!
Since Tim released ‘Superwide’ I haven’t used any of his other recipes to any great extent because ‘Superwide’ is that good!!
Well its 6.15am in the UK, and I’ve been script writing all night……better get some sleep.
All the best

Hello Johnny,
Well, I have to agree, the 250 is indeed a fantastic camera!!! I really noticed the difference between footage shot on my HD-100, and the HD-251.
JVC made very few changes to the cameras electronics, but with software, and firmware upgrades, + the odd electronic tweak you really can see improvements in picture quality.All the best

Hello Matt,
I’m sorry to hear you had so many problems with your camera. Sounds like you’ve been really unlucky. Don’t give up on your camera just yet, as the pixel correction procedure does work…..OK it’s a bit tricky, but to be honest the hidden menu is intended to be difficult to open up, because it’s a menu which was designed for JVC engineers to gain access to higher level functions during maintenance.
If you send me your e-mail address I will e-mail you a .pdf, which has been prepared by one of JVC’s top engineers.My e-mail address is:
I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best
