Sony https://doddlenews.com/reds-jannard-speaks-out-on-sony-lawsuit/ Updated 2012 RED camera system / raw codec patent document https://www.scribd.com/doc/125170172/Video-camera-US-patent-8174560 Wooden Camera cages and V-mount http://cinescopophilia.com/red-sues-wooden-camera/ "Sunglasses are mentioned quite a few times throughout the claim"

There's supposed to be Hydrogen 2 coming and surely RED would rather Komodo used that as a screen, rather than the Atomos that allegedly infringed their patents for years.

Interesting to note the Atomos deck. No RED Touch?

"Failure to file a patent application within the one-year period will result in the invention being passed onto public domain, where it will no longer be eligible for a patent." https://definitions.uslegal.com/o/one-year-rule/ https://www.studiodaily.com/2019/01/red-atomos-settle-patent-dispute-promise-integrated-recording-products-come/ http://www.studiodaily.com/2018/12/atomos-goes-public-australian-securities-exchange/ So if the patent is invalidated, will RED refund Atomos backdated licensing fees?

Which RAW codecs did these use?

UPDATE: 2 provisional patents, one was filed April 11th 2007 and other in December 2007. Tick the clock backwards 12 months from December 2007 and RED camera was publicly discussed and on sale according to JT's video. This doesn't seem to be his conjecture, rather historical, factual information from the internet, forums and Jannard interviews, where RED publicly display and demonstrate the technology later patented. Be it NAB 2006 (sales) or IBC 2006 (exhibit) or initial tests and the stuff from 2005... It's all out there. In JT's video he points to RED putting up "sold out" signs at NAB 2006 for instance which is more than 1 year before one of the provisional patents the final one relied upon, and 2 years before the final patent was granted. Of course I'm not a lawyer and would encourage anyone to look only at the facts before jumping to opinions, myself included, which is what I am doing! When it comes to the fine details of the law, I am making no claims until I know the facts. Yes JT could be wrong and RED could have a perfectly legal and valid patent, and that would be the end of the discussion. It's for the FTC to decide... Also over the Made in USA claims. I won't be taking a firm opinion either way yet. But I do want people to keep on examining the facts and understanding the info, and we have free speech so are able to do that. RED should apologise for me for the forced settlement agreement terms and the impact this had on my blog and free speech. I want internal compressed RAW in many more of our cameras. It's important RED's patents are checked and their behaviour held to account. If they are invalid, it has huge consequences. RED should be allowed to put their side of the story in response to this video and I invite them to do that here, not just play the distraction game with Komodo.

Where's that photo from? Putin's patent office?

Don't mention the communists to Jim!! Ironic choice of music Mr Jinni Tech.

It is widely known in the camera industry that RED owns a key patent for a cinema cameras featuring compressed RAW. It is also alleged the technology has featured in a number of past legal claims RED have had over rival camera companies. Now third party accessory manufacturer Jinni Tech alleges RED "deceived the US patent office" and filed the critical patent late. Read the full article

Voting now open

I had a lot of fun watching the results come in. I had some fun shooting my own as well, but I've not edited it yet and decided to let the competition vote run without my entry for now. In the main blog post coming out, you'll see what I bought and what I got up to. I'll let the vote run for a few days, then we can reveal the cameras which is the even more fun part Please vote once for your favourite of the videos (and not your own!!) - no gaming the system If I missed anyone on the list, let me know.

Maybe it's a patents exchange. RED probably allowed Canon to carry on providing RAW.

What happens in Resolve 16 Beta when you try and edit the 6K BRAW? Is it just choppy performance? Or complete crash? Windows or Mac? Do you have any original files to share so we can get to the bottom fo why that's happening? Cheers for the review Dave! I'll post it to front page as well.

Nearly done putting every video into a poll. Took ages! Hopefully get everything tied up tomorrow. Cheers for waiting!

It's a numbers game, yes, but still braindead. I am just not sold. 85" utterly dominates a normal room. It's an omnipresent black mirror. 65" is my limit. Most people's limit is 55". Bigger number not always better. There is barely any 8K content at the moment worth watching. Most TV is still 1080p. There is no big amazing image quality difference between 8K content at 85" and 4K content at 85" when you are watching at normal viewing distances. I've seen the same Samsung 85" you did. Nobody watches TV from 1-2ft away from an 85" screen. When it comes down to the real world all these numbers are meaningless. For displays, motion cadence matters more and nobody talks about it. For going large, projectors are more cinematic than large TVs. Colour, HDR, 10bit, contrast, matter more than resolution on an LCD panel for the living room. Resolution matters most on a desktop monitor with close viewing distance, not in the living room. Whole industry shift to 8K is flawed and will end like 3D did.

Braindead numbers game.

I ignore all chart tests for colour. Lab accuracy doesn't equal best colour science!

It is still as photographed, except for some of the screws rolling off the table and into my vacuum cleaner A real adventure taking that apart. I did at least manage to defeat my laziness and put the other one back together. do you think WEX will mind if I put the other one as-is, in a bag, and return it under their 30 day policy?

Keep an eye on the video above today. Blackmagic will live stream "Camera Update" and "Post Production" news later. Read the full article

Going to feature this on the blog post! But when I embed it says the privacy settings don't allow it. Weird! Any way you can change it?

Some great stuff here. I'll go through it and add them to the vote. Blog post soon! I'll let people submit until midnight tonight (7th August 00:00 UK time)

LOL. It's not the camera. What problem with your computer / display do you have? What player did you see the moire in?

Canon has Peter McKinnon, but maybe they need the combined bullshitting power of Peter AND gelaxstudio too. GELAX... is that a lubricant or a condom brand?

A fraction behind the ultimate 6K -> 4K oversampled image on a chart, but better in real-world due to larger sensor, would be a better topic title ?
