Re: Introducing Red Digital Cinema

Olympus also has a high fidelity video camera that uses 4 each of 1920x1080 chips for a total resolution of 3840 x 2160 up to 30 frames per second. I suppose each chip has its own dedicated compression engine and its own dedicated hard drive to record the image. And each hard drive has its own dedicated firewire port and I guess you could use four seperate computers to edit. Of course this could introduce split screen effect if the four chips are not calibrated with respect to each other. In the Olympus system 8 one megapixel XGA projectors are ganged together to display the image with four projectors on the top row and four projectors on the bottom row. The name for this technology is called parallel processing and its a good way of achieving tomorows technology today. Red Digital Cinema is scheduled to deliver by the end of this year at an affordable price point.
