Burbank, CA At this month’s RED User Group LA meeting held at Kappa Studios Ted Schilowitz (“Leader of the Rebellion”) was on hand to show some of the new features of the RED One Build 16 firmware. One the new features demonstrated by Schilowitz on the Kappa dub stage was the addition of REDspace and RAW viewing modes. This allows for much more accurate exposure setting and helps ensure that no information is lost in the brighter portions of the scene.

When in REDspace the cinematographer uses a histogram of the scenes brightness to obtain an overall exposure that will maximize the detail in the bright and dark areas of the scene.

Other highlights of Build 16 include Digital Signal Processing and Image Compression Optimization; support for 4K 16:9 recordings in REDALERT and QuickTime based applications; in-camera 1080p playback of REDCODE RAW .R3D files; improved audio sample to video frame synchronization (lip sync accuracy); updated file name structure to eliminate duplicate file names; improved display precision and color response of RED-EVF and RED-LCD; the addition of Pre-Record (10 sec or 30 sec loop) mode; and Look Around available on HD PREVIEW outputs when LCD and EVF are active.
