Jim Jannard a victim of corporate espionage (2 Viewers)

[.]

Jim Jannard, owner of Oakley, had some very high-tech equipment stolen from his Red office. Jim is the founder of Red, an Ultra-High definition video system with some incredible technology and ideas behind it. It uses a 12 megapixel sensor to record at up to 2450p @ 60 frames per second which puts current 720p and 1080i HD to shame. Whoever it was broke into the office stole only things that were camera and file related. Jim has put up a $100,000 reward for info leading to the arrest of those responsible. Jim, I hope you catch the bastards responsible for this!

Here's a downsized picture of what this camera is capable of doing:

This couldn't have happened to a better person! Jim's contributions have benefitted so very many and this news makes me sick.
Here's to the safe return of everything unlawfully removed!
So very sorry to hear such news!

Good god. Can't imagine that kind of image quality at 60fps...

ESPN2 HHD?

That really SUCKS. I hope the reward will work and someone will come forward. Jim is just too good of a guy for this to happen to.

A little good news

Jim has recovered some of his RED camera prototype equipment though maybe not the most important items. The article at Engadget goes into more detail.

Good luck with the rest Jim!!!
