This info was recently released (10/10/07) online by RED's Jarred Land regarding the newly enabled 4K 16:9 recording mode. (Previously only 4K 2:1 was enabled). :

"Some Camera owners are shooting with their cameras on big productions, set to 4k 16:9 instead of the 2:1 4k ratio, and finding out the hard way that Red Alert! does not yet decode 4k 16:9.

I just want to thank everyone out there for helping us beta test, but Its very important that before you enter a real life production environment (specially shooting on others peoples dime) that you test test and re-test any settings you think you will use on the day. Sitting on set with 50 crew members and talent and a Director and Producer looking over your shoulder is not the time to test something from a build for the first time.. specially an alpha or beta build.

Same thing goes when you are playing with experimental frame rates and shutter speeds.

Shoot it, test it, put it through Red Alert, and complete the workflow during prep.. it will save everyone alot of frustration when you goto shoot, and make the day go alot smoother."
