Oh, posted too soon.  They're also going to release an Ursa cine with a new 17K VV sensor around the end of the year.  That's even more resolution than the GFX 100 has in photo mode.  Same pixel size as the 12K version - just stretched out to 65mm wide.

Ursa Cine looks like a huge upgrade over UM12K - and priced to match.  $15k for the base package.
They kept 12K, but went full frame.  It has much better DR and even though they didn't mention it (or if they did, I missed it), RS looked pretty good in their example footage.  Media is up to 16 lanes of NVMe.  I think Grant mentioned that the camera will come with an 8TB module which is made up of 4 separate drives (each with 4 lanes of NVMe).  The camera also has 10gE for output.
As far as why there's a USB-C on the front, it's actually for the EVF which connects by a single cable.

This might be the single largest release lineup Blackmagic has ever done. There's like a dozen new pieces of hardware plus DR and firmware updates. Craziness.

It's interesting to see the minuscule amount of hype around this Blackmagic livestream compared to the BMPCC4K in 2018. It's a ghost town here today.

Improbable predictions:
BMD will announce that they have been acquired by Ricoh/Pentax Resolve will be fully dropping support for BRAW and adopting ProRes RAW New DaVinci Resolve Nano Panel with only a single trackball and no sliders/knobs/buttons New DaVinci Resolve Pico Panel with just a single small button that can only order pizza from Dominos.  What flavor of pizza?  It'll be a surprise every time. Black Magic Cloud is merging with frame.io so that customers will only have to pay one subscription fee to share with people on either system Based on strong sales of the UM12K, there will now be a UM36K which uses a beam splitter and 3 copies of the UM12K sensor for each of the R, G, and B channels similar to 3-chip camcorders of the past New AI assist camera module that detects if you aren't recording in BM raw - and if not, a small robot version of Grant Petty jumps out and punches the user in the groin until the camera settings are updated

Good catch! New EVF too. The body design is looking very similar to the existing Ursa Mini? 

Looks like a user changeable lens mount as well

Gee, I hope you never discover what the sports bureaucracy in other sports get up to.... 
Name a Top 10 finisher (not just in the TdF but any Grand Tour, or heck, even any of the Classics) from that era who you're certain wasn't ever taking drugs?
I feel as a fan to be stressing and worrying over who was or wasn't is a futile exercise. Just enjoy the racing for what it is. (and got to admit, the racing during that era was a lot better!)
I never said that. 
Oh sure, and Óscar Pereiro has never had any doping allegation scandals around him! /s 😅😂🤣 If you fully believe he's totally clean then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell 😉
This proves the point about how totally different Lance Armstrong has been treated, as a scapegoat and a punching bag for the entire world's media (not just cycling media) to beat up upon. 
(just to be clear btw, I'm no great fan of Lance Armstrong specifically! In fact his existence kinda annoyed me back then, as Armstrong prevented my favorite rider from winning any more TdF titles!! If not for Lance, then I think he'd have gone on to win even more titles than Lance did. Oh well)
(also just to be clear: yes, what he did is wrong. It's wrong to dope. But when you consider the broader context, I find it impossible to get as super hyped up furiously mad about it as so many others seem to be. It's merely disappointing, not some kind of greatest scandal since Watergate) 

New but not unexpected rumors:
- The Nikon Z6III camera announcement may have something to do with the RED acquisition.
- We should expect some kind of a Nikon/RED announcement at the 2024 NAB show next month (maybe the Z6III?).
-----
I still think its too early for any RED+Nikon development, but Expeed7 doing R3D is the lowest hanging fruit. 

Nikon is going to release a Komodo competitor next month: Z6m3 with 6k30p raw 😄

I think if we look at the Komodo which is around the price of a C70, uses RF mount and has AF, it gives us basis to speculate that future entry level RED cams with Nikon tech and Asian manufacturing could venture out of the high-end cine market and compete with Canon & Sony C/FX line.  
And reverse wise Nikon high-end cams will benefit from Redcode and other ciné savoir-faire like color science, anamorphic support, open gate etc.. it also finally gives Nikon users an upgrade path to a cine line and creates a more viable ecosystem. 
That is great news for consumers and further increases my desire to switch to Nikon. 

People keep talking about the patent, but I really don't think it is the reason behind the purchase at all.
Nikon wants to get into the video/cinema market. Their recent releases are evidence of that. They have very little chance though of getting a foothold in the market on their own. Purchasing RED, even though it lags behind ARRI and probably even Sony, makes a lot more sense than creating something on their own from scratch that will likely fail.
Major blockbusters and shows are filmed using RED cameras. Tons of independent films are shot on RED cameras. It has a loyal user base. Those are reasons enough for any company looking to get into the cinema/video market to purchase them instead of starting from scratch. Will it work? Who knows, but it's a better building block than what they had to work with. Better to own the company whose camera was used to film blockbusters like Guardians of the Galaxy and Aquaman than to release a cinema camera that will see minimal adoption,

At some point both costs of SSDs will be so low and data transfer rates will be so high (Thunderbolt 4, etc.) that it won't matter much in practical terms if raw files are not compressed. I could see new cameras saving internally in uncompressed raw, (ProResRaw or uncompressed BRaw) which would not be subject to the patent.
At one time shooting HD was super expensive, now it's super cheap, the same with 4K and other things. If the cost of media is within the budget of a production, and the transfer times for copying the cards is short enough for the shooting schedule, then it doesn't matter.

My signature in another forum is: "your new gear will not make you produce any better art than you already do"
Maybe it was something someone wrote here years ago. I only i could remember, I would credit him 

Same for a lot of us, ie, more idle chat and musing than anything.
Some folks immediately think that because you have an interest in such things, you are unhappy with your current situation and simply believe ‘The Next Thing’ will fix all your issues.
I don’t think that is so much the case here where a lot of our musings are more, “if I was not invested in X, I might be looking at Y or Z” and nothing wrong with that in my book!
And ultimately it’s all harmless!

I thought I would resurrect this thread as it looks like Logitech will be announcing a new MEVO product on the 17th with the m43 sensor/mount.  The video specs are not great but it will be interesting to see how far they take this.  The 6400mAh battery should provide a very long run time.

The new patent is only for the specific tweak, not the old stuff.
Like I said, evolving CD into Blu-Ray doesn't prolong the patent for CD.

Panasonic does tend to implement and do video a bit better in their versions of the cameras than Leica's 

At least all the armchair camera engineers go quiet for a while

Announcements like this are just wonderful...
All it took was a pair of press-releases and all of a sudden dozens of people with no training or experience instantly turn into patent attorneys and corporate lawyers specialising in mergers and acquisitions and market strategists etc, and not only that, they also instantly gained insider knowledge about market caps, sales figures, product strategies, etc, and just when you'd think that it couldn't get any better they also become R&D experts in both hardware and software design!
With a shift so radical in capability, even the hardened skeptic must believe there is a higher power involved.

RED extended the patent. This is a common technique used by pharma companies to extend the IP protection.

You are right, they can do a better one, with better sensor tech, better Z mount, better stabilization, better internal codec etc. 

The only thing which have kept the church of RED alive is the patent. And the insane mark up on cards, viewfinders, etc.
Patent is dead in four years regardless.
Also, RED is run like a surf shop which now meets japanese corporate culture. What could go wrong.

This or Jannard had really a short window to cash out his market advantage now .

I also read that Sony was fabbing their new sensors at TSMC, so its most likely a matter of patents, and not so much anything else.
These kind of monopolies, in general are bad. I suspect that they are among the reasons for the downfall of many companies that rely on such sensor makers, who restrict patent use (remember the debate, for the longest, that suspected that Panasonic was restricted in its access to PDAF, since it made video powehouses, and that's why we had the terrible Depth-from-Defocus (DFD), for the longest).
