[Graeme Nattress] "The 2k modes window the sensor thus allowing us to read from the sensor faster, thus getting a higher frame rate. The cropping actually occurs by telling the sensor to read just a smaller area to gain the extra speed. "

This is what I understood. I believe I used the word crop. And in December, it was "windowed" or "cropped" so the R3D files had a black border out to the 4K files. Regardless, I guess the point is that sensor windows the image down to 2K so that messes with your lenses. As you said, it's really only worth doing if you need the extra frames per second. Otherwise, just shoot native 4K.

Graeme, is the current conversion of R3D files to ProRes really 25x using REDCINE?

One more thing, thanks for the "open" communication structure of the company. There are disadvantages that come with it, but it really helps to build trust with your consumer base and that out weighs the disadvantages in my opinion. I'm personally hoping that after NAB announcements and upgrades that I'll be able to shoot most of our projects with RED.
Anyways, Thanks.
