RED to Make Another, Even Bigger Announcement on December 3rd

John Herrman — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 07:51:20 EST

RED CEO Jim Jannard, who generally manages to construct all sentences using only intensifiers and superlatives, is getting really excited on the RedUser forums again:

New announcement on Dec. 3rd. Everything has changed... just as we promised. :-)

:-)? :-)? What do your cryptic smilies mean, Jim?

He goes on to say that the new announcement will make November 13th seem 'insignificant', which is, let's be honest here, quite a claim to accompany such a vague pre-announcement. [RedUser —Thanks, Øyvind]

Red "Pocket Professional Camera" AKA "Scarlet" To See Daylight at NAB

Jim Jannard, the rambunctious Oakley founder and Red HD camera revolutionary has taken a leak into his own hands and confirmed that the company's next camera, a pocketable pro dubbed Scarlet, will be shown at this year's NAB. Jim: I'm glad you're pushing the tech toward consumers. This sounds like an interesting dovetail with the redcode rumors from Macworld. [RED Forums]

Red One Ultra-High-Def Camcorder Secret is Safe

Charlie White — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 12:01:13 EDT

We have an update on the theft of that wild-looking Red One ultra-high-definition digital cinema camera, the $17.5K camcorder that's said to be packing enough megapixelidge to whip super cameras ten times its price. Oakley founder and Red proprietor Jim Jannard gives us an update on the jacking of the shiny aluminum prototype in the picture above:

"While items taken included many computers, drives, monitors, prototypes (including our shiny aluminum IBC prototype), ID files and our Scratch system... it appears that the thieves did NOT get any sensors, sensor information or our primary "Frankenstein" shooting camera. It took all the RED troops coming back in to put all the pieces together. We will resume shooting and testing tomorrow. This would be the easiest piece to identify as stolen."

So this prototype was just for show, and the real secrets contained in the company's Mysterium sensor are safe. Now we can all rest easy. But then, perhaps the secret is that there is no Mysterium sensor. It's a mystery, all right. – Charlie White
