Well done RED for trying something different with Hydrogen - but will the modularity make sense?

The next month or so should reveal more information apparently.

The problem I have is that the go to source for info about it should be the reduser site but I can't last more than a few more minutes on there because of the sycophancy.

I went over there earlier to see what it was all about regarding RED selling the cameras through the Apple store and pretty much did this.

RED have confirmed that it is going to use Leica's technology

Leia... Not Leica ?

Hahaha

It actually auto-corrected it !

You can bet your life if I'd written Leica it would changed it to Leicester !

The holographic screens were on eBay at one point and now don't seem to be available anywhere, so maybe RED bought the company (Leia)

That's just a heads up display, ie. a reflector.

As someone who preordered a Hydrogen and is genuinely quite excited about what it might be able to do, I registered with reduser for a source of information. It is quite astonishing just how poor the quality of discussion over there is (at least compared to here). The only information - other than that from RED itself - consists of wild speculation, absurd hyperbole and seems to be totally dominated by one or two individuals...  Not a great public face for a great company producing great products.

There is no doubt (in my opinion) that Hydrogen will be something special. But only relative to what phones currently offer. And not necessarily “useful” or “game changing” or even, given time, “unique”. But goodness, anyone naively reading the Hydrogen threads in The Other Place must be totally baffled (one of the latest themes is that you really need 4 - or is it 64?  - Hydrogens to really optimise the 3D capabilities - or is that just to feed the world...)

Looking forward to seeing what it’ll do however!

A great application for the Hydrogen would be someone to make documentary about how many no doubt otherwise sane grown adults suddenly lose their shit like the front row of a Beatles concert when they log on to that board.

In 3D obviously.

Or 30D if Jim announces they're working on it.

If it was under a grand it would do well. As it is it's a monitor to a red camera that receives calls from the producer complaining about setup times

Bet you never wanted a monitor that can also verbally abuse you on the set.
