QuickLinks NAB

It's the last day of NAB, and there's lots of things that I've been meaning to list, so here we go with a catch-up edition of QuickLinks:


RED

• RED Scarlet: Ted Schilowitz from RED talks to Jared Abams from Wide Open Camera about the RED Scarlet. Emphasizes that it's a better video camera than a DSLR and it can shoot good stills too. Shows how the menus work and talks about the lens that comes with the fixed-lens model: Vimeo: NAB2011 - Wide Open Camera - Scarlet & Ted from RED
  Ted also talked to Cinema5D about the RED Epic and the Scarlet: Ted Schilowitz pooh-poohs my hdslr and I still think RED is cool
  
  
• RED Announcements. You can read RED's official announcements, including a notice that the situation in Japan has delayed the EPIC-X and Scarlet 8X (the fixed lens Scarlet.): Reduser: Official NAB announcements...
  
  
• RED Epic on a remote-controlled helicopter: The Editblog: This remote helicopter flies a RED!

Opinion

• Bruce Johnson suggests that software developers abandon the "Pro" label.
  Though he gets the history wrong; Apple didn't hire Randy Ubillos to create Final Cut as a competitor to Premiere. Macromedia hired Randy to make a video editor, then decided they couldn't release it and looked for a buyer. It's widely reported that Apple bought Final Cut (called KeyGrip) after no-one else came forward.
