Red Uploads 2K Frame Grab

The Red revolution continues with news that billionaire Oakely owner and backer of Red, Jim Jannard, has placed downloadable 2K frame grabs on the Red web site with a 4K file promised for tomorrow - 24th.

Go to www.red.com/gallery-still.htm for the details.

The Red company promises to make and ship a $17,500 4K capable camera plus lenses and recording solution by the end of 2006. Such a timescale from a standing start last NAB was further questioned when no Q&A was forthcoming at the footage showing a couple of weeks ago at the IBC.

Doubters were heard to question the validity of the footage "Anyone can get a sensor and put a lens on it!" was one response for an industry leading light...

Rumours are that the fabled Mysteriuim chip is in fact sourced from IBM's defence wing and is de-commissioned military spec. If true this would explain the lack of information so far on the all important chip in the pubic domain.
