RED's Jim Jannard on Why 6K, Why Now

In a post on the REDUser forum, Jim Jannard minces no words when describing the thought process behind their new 6K Dragon sensor. He writes, "Going forward, we realize that down-rezzing has a HUGE advantage to final output. Hence the 6K Dragon. Not only do you have the option to recompose, stabilize, and zoom... the idea of down-rezzing gives a much better final output to a 4K delivery. It lowers noise. You get apparent sharpness without sharpening. So while the others have joined the party... they have entered where we were 7 years ago. They have thrown the ball to where the receiver was... not where he is." Read his full post here.
