Cheers to Omnimorphic for the graphic
This RED digital cinema dream camera nightmare format is something which could be the next IMAX fills-your-whole-peripheral-vision-and-make-you-violently-ill winathon format.
You've gotta love this company.
Now for some cool numbers:
A still image in 28k RGB format would be 261,352,000 pixels, or ~261 Mega-pixels.
So @12bits per channel that's 9,408,672,000 bits per frame, or ~1.2 Giga-bytes per frame.

Hence @24p the data rate would be 225,808,128,000 bits per second, or ~28.2 Gigabytes per second.
Which means that on a Tera-byte (1000 Giga-byte) hard drive you could fit just under 35 seconds of raw 28k footage. With the same space, you could store 9.3 hours of raw PAL.
Even if mpeg2 encoding was used to the same degree as is used for DVDs, you could only fit ~3 mins on to it. Instead of 247 hours of PAL.
This is the true Red Epic. This thing is going to be incredible.
I can't wait.
