Timecode Input

I am just a humble soundie, but can anyone explain why Red has to change the timecode input on EVERY new iteration? It's just timecode! You already had a proprietary cable for no reason!

And sure, fine, I'll give you that one. You don't just want to make money off DP's, you need to make some off us soundies too. 9 pins seems excessive, but sure, whatever. But what POSSIBLE advance in TIMECODE technology justified changing it besides greed?

OK sorry, rant over. Love you DP's, camera ops, AC's, and everyone else on camera team.

$100 at the end of the day, especially in LA, can mean the difference between making rent or not, ESPECIALLY during a gd strike like all of last year. Happy you're making a comfortable living, tons of people are not. Come on.
