With the announcement of the the RED Epic today I’ve been reading the news and found this astounding item from Dorkman’s blog.
“These Epic Brains will record a data-rate of 225 MB/sec — that’s a 625% increase in data rate, and hopefully therefore quality, over Red One.
I complained last time that they shouldn’t be calling a camera Epic unless it basically shoots 65mm/IMAX format — and they’ve answered that. Not only that, but they threw in one more format, one that makes IMAX its bitch.
Technorama 617 Monstro Sensor, 28K resolution, 1-25 fps, $55,000
Yes, you f**king heard me right. I said 28K. And it’ll record at a computer-pulverizing 500 MB/sec.
Red One’s 4K is already four times bigger than your 1080p HDTV. How big is 28K compared to that? Stu Maschwitz did a comparison on his Prolost blog.”
So what does that HD image look like inside a 28K image. Click here or look below. Yeah, that tiny red spec in the middle represents a 1920×1080 image inside the gray 28,000 x 9,334 image. Makes the mind wobble and wonder what sizes we’ll be working with 5 years from now.
