Don't know if this has been asked before, but have you looked at getting input from RED One? There is 720 HD SDI out, and also HDMI I believe, but not sure if this would work and be any good. Any idea?

Dear Steve,
Originally, the 720p HD-SDI output from Red was designed for viewing, and not recording the image.
While I am not a Red expert, I have been told that Build 18 added 1080 HD-SDI output.
I do not know if the quality of the 1080 is good enough for recording or not. I am waiting for a Red user to let us know.
I do know that Red recommended using a HD-SDI reclocking repeater if anyone has problems with their HD-SDI output.
Our Flash XDR and nanoFlash are "reclocking repeaters". This is the gold standard for taking in a HD-SDI signal, removing all noise from the signal, and then regenerating a new, clean HD-SDI signal.
The nanoFlash, can take in HD-SDI, and output HD-SDI and HDMI simultaneously.
Or take in HDMI and output HD-SDI and HDMI simultaneously. All reclocked and repeated.
