			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are the happy owner of Sonyâ€™s DVcam workhorse, the <a href="http://www.computervideo.net/june3.html" target="_blank">DSR-11</a> VCR, and you find yourself having to output your project with a specific timecode, you no longer have to despair. Hereâ€™s a step-by-step instruction on how to get your Final Cut Pro project onto tape:
<ol>
<li>Download <a href="http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/SimpleVideoOut/index.html" target="_blank">Simple Video Out</a> from Apple <em>(free)</em>.</li>
<li>In your DSR-11 menu, change the <em>DV in TC</em> setting to <em>External</em></li>
<li>Change the TC setting in your project according to your requirements. (Say your programme is to start at 10:00:00:00 and you want 2 minutes of black, bars and info in front of it, right click on the sequence in the browser, chose <em>Settingsâ€¦</em> click on the <em>Timeline options</em> tab, where you set the <em>Starting Timecode</em> to 09:58:00:00. Move the beginning of your film to 10:00:00:00 and fill the gap with bars, info, countdown and whatever you want to.)</li>
<li>Export your sequence as a QT file.</li>
<li>Open the newly created QT file from Simple Video Out.</li>
<li>Push record on your DSR-11.</li>
<li>Push play in Simple Video Out.</li>
<li>Make sure the DSR displays the TC, so you can check that everything is fine.</li>
</ol>
<p>Enjoy!<em>(Workflow derived from a <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3092394" title="Apple Discussion Board.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am just watching a <a href="http://hdforindies.com/uploaded_movies/REDatTekserve.mov" target="_blank">presentation</a> about the <a href="http://red.com/" target="_blank">Red camera</a>, and here are some observations:</p>
<ol>
<li>The sensor is Super35mm size.</li>
<li>The camera body is bigger than it looked like on the photographs. Definitely more than a PD170.</li>
<li>Camera is natively progressive. Interlacing can be achieved in post.</li>
<li>The digital shutter is programmable. Range up to 360 degrees.</li>
<li>ISO rating is between 320 and 500.</li>
<li>Camera takes standard V-mount batteries. 90-120 minutes operating time per battery (<a href="http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?p=93422" target="_blank">Red Brick</a>).</li>
<li>PL mount, takes any professional lens with a PL mount. Red also makes their own lenses, very aggressively priced. When using S16 lenses, you are limited to 2k resolution.</li>
<li>The camera takes 52 seconds to boot. I would imagine this to come down on future firmware upgrades.</li>
<li>Camera design is modular. Not only externally, but also within. Which means that when Red comes up with a better sensor, you donâ€™t have to buy a new camera, you just swap out the chip.</li>
<li>Join the queue. If you order a camera today, you will get it in about 9 monthâ€™s time.</li>
<li>Not all feature are yet activated. No sound yet. Wait for a future firmware update. Will have 4 channels.</li>
<li>100 fps @ 2k resolution. Mouth-watering!</li>
<li>2gb per 1 minute of 4k resolution. Which is only 10 times that of DV. Again: impressive.</li>
<li>Soon you can edit (in 1k resolution) your 4k material on <a href="http://fcp.com/" target="_blank">FCP</a>. In reality this means you can edit straight from the Red media on your laptop.</li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/?movie=prores422" target="_blank">ProRes codec</a> is so good, no reason ever to use 8- or 10-bit uncompressed.</li>
<li>Upcoming feature: Histogram in the viewfinder. This will be great for location shooting.</li>
<li>Shooting with the Red camera is closer to shooting film than to shooting HD/video. You donâ€™t expose for a pretty picture, but to get as much detail out of the picture as possible - to keep the option open in post production. This is comparable to shooting in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAW_image_format" target="_blank">RAW</a> mode on a digital SLR camera.</li>
<li>Camera has also a â€œFalse Colo(u)r modeâ€?, which shows you clipping that would occur at the current T-stop setting.</li>
<li>The software to transfer the video data to your editing system is - at this point - Intel Mac only. But soon they will have a more elegant version out, which will run both on Mac and PC.</li>
<li><a href="http://digitalintermediates.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=38450" target="_blank">Scratch</a>, a high-end programme for Color Correction is directly supporting RedCode Raw. Color Grading in real time, with 1k or 2k preview.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.themill.com/" target="_blank">The Mill</a> (Oscar winning post production company) compared side-by-side 35mm and Red 4K, and were blown away.</li>
<li>Red is a disruptive technology. Many people do not want this camera to work.</li>
<li>Red reminds one of the early Apple. People working there seem to actually have fun creating something new.</li>
<li>At least 5 major feature films are currently shooting with Red cameras.</li>
<li>The Red camera in hand-held mode weighs about 18 pounds (9 kilos).</li>
<li>The EVF is not yet ready.</li>
<li>The Red Camera is a passion product.</li>
<li>Why is the camera so cheap? They aim for quality and volume.</li>
