(Here is a basic list of some of the announcements and developments from Red at NAB. As I get the details more organized, I will fill them in.)

* Peter Jackson short, shot on Red prototypes
A 12 minute short period film, set in World War 1, was the subject matter of the Peter Jackson "test footage" shown at NAB. Veteran Camera Operator and DP, Richard Bluck (LOTR, King Kong, etc.) handled the Red One prototypes "Boris" and "Natasha" in a limited feature set that was basically Run/Stop at 24fps, 180 degree shutter.

* Working Cameras / Accessories shown in booth
Several Working Red One Cameras were setup and working with hands on access. Each camera was showing different features and accesories functioning, such as the LCD screen, Electronic View Finder (EVF), Red Drive, Red Cage, etc.

* Working RedCine Software shown in Booth
A workstation was setup with demonstration of the RedCine software. Various modes of working with the interface were shown as well as color grading and conforming operations.

* Partnership with Apple for support for RedCode in Quicktime/FinalCut
RedCode was being shown in Apples booth as being compatible in Final Cut Pro as well as a mode of working in a proxy mode whereas $k footage is being edited, but 2K or lower is what is shown on screen and managed in the UI. This allowing for faster workflows.

* Full Price List Available
Red announced full price lists for the Camera and all accessories. You can view it here: http://www.red.com/store/pricelist

* Tentative Shipping Dates
Dates were released for a tentative schedule. Though slight delays were mentioned recently, this is the latest we've heard: http://www.redcamcentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=103
