Multimedia, AV In true uber-hype fashion, the RED Company announced today a series of cameras and imaging sensors that will revolutionize the movie (and still image) industry. Some commenters online jokingly said that this is where all the Roswell UFO reverse-engineering went into. RED announced sensors ranging from 10.1x5.35mm (2/3") size all the way to 186x56mm, and resolutions from 3k/120fps to 28k/25fps (that's 261 megapixels). If you have trouble visualizing that size, here's an image that might help. To add to all this, the RED Epic now supports stereoscopic (3D) capturing.

I love the marriage of old industrial with modern in this piece of equipment. It wreaks of class and durability. I wish I had a use for it.

I can see this being massive for all types of motion pictures, scientific research and more. These optics have to be put into film use. The still shots will be amazing.

The sports entertainment world will definitely change.

If you watch your sport at the local multiplex then maybe. Most of us would consider ourselves lucky to get sports coverage at 720p, never mind 28K!
