Mike Curtis had opportunity to screen some 4K footage at IBC, shots from the RED ONE Digital Cinema Camera Mysterium sensor. The footage was actually shot at nearly 5K, and shown on a Sony 4K projector.

“I got to see the full res, projected at 4K footage…and expletive free words cannot describe how good it looked.”

“…tack sharp. Amazing dynamic range. Totally film like depth of field. Great color and skin tone. More later.”

I noticed that RED also updated their website, and have included lots more renderings of the RED-CAGE and show various mounts and configurations. There is also a workflow page that outlines how RED-Cine software will handle processing of the REDCODE RAW VBR wavelet compressed or uncompressed RAW footage.

In the workflow diagram, they note that the 10-bit LOG REDCODE VBR wavelet compressed 24fps footage weighs in at 27MB/s, with 12-bit Linear Uncompressed RAW 24fps clocking in at 323MB/s. Looks like Graeme has been busy…
