As has been the case at the last couple NAB shows, one of the most popular destinations of the show floor was the Red Camera booth. More accurate would be the Red Camera tent With twice the resolution as most HD cameras, at half the cost it is not hard to see why everyone wants to find out more about the Red Camera. Creating anticipation and curiosity that reminds me of Walt Disney's promotion of Disneyland in the early 50's. I over heard may attendees discussing the benefits of implementing the Red Camera into there productions. . .  I know I am!


As of right now the best supported editing platform for the Red Camera is Final Cut Pro. Using integration with Red Camera software, Final Cut Pro is the way to edit the Red Camera footage. Final Cut Pro can compress the 4K image to 2K, but even @ half resolution, it is higher than Hi Def. Apple Color will bring the 4K images in without compressing them allowing you to work with them at full resolution.


Red Camera had a number of it's products on display, but many will not be available until early 2009. To learn more about what Red Camera is doing check them out at red.com. Be sure you view the myth buster video.
