    What a lot of people seem to forget is ISO simply amplifies the sensor voltage, it doesn't increase or decrease the number of electrons in the well of each photosite, therefore it doesn't change the sensor's exposure to light, simply interprets the already captured signal to a different strength.

    Very cool! I haven't been interested in RED (the price range previous to the Komodo was certainly a big reason) but this is really interesting both for RED and every other camera. Underneath the hood, a sensor is a sensor. Each element of a sensor gets hit by photons and that causes electrons to get knocked off, creating a voltage for that sensor element, which is then read. At the low end of how that sensor works, when there are very few pixels, the resulting voltage is very low and random (noise.) In the middle, there is a roughly linear relationship between photons hitting it and the voltage that builds up. At the high end, the sensor's voltage maxes out and stops being linear, thus the pixel is clipped high. That basic physics operates for every sensor in every brand. It's really cool that RED is more directly showing the user what is happening on the sensor elements - too low voltage (dark/noise) or too high (light/clipped) instead of only running it through some pre-processing - what you're mentioning about showing the operator IRE info. Even though Blackmagic handles "raw" differently, the physics applies at the sensor level, so I'm going to look at the BMPCC exposure vs. dynamic range chart again and see if it makes more sense to me from the "RED-esque" point of view with their traffic lights and goal posts.

    Great video. I love this little camera. I like to think of ISO as a digital gain of the signal after the light has hit the sensor on any camera. So the more you pump up the ISO, the more digital noise you introduce into your image. The difference with RAW is that ISO data isn't baked into the footage you import to your editing program. Coming from a music background, I often compare to sound - whenever you boost the volume of your recorded audio digitally in post-production, you introduce noise as well.

    From my point of view, all cameras capable of shooting raw work the same way. Perhaps there is something more to take care with on red cameras that I don’t know, but ISO value is always metadata applied to the raw signal, as well as white balance. In blackmagic cameras, the only thing to take into account regarding ISO is the number of stops of highlights and shadows you have later to work with, just because if you shot at a very low iso, you have to give it physically more light, hence you’re destroying the highlights and cleaning the shadows, and if you set a quite high iso value, you’re filling your shadows with noise, whereas your highlights are protected because the iso boost makes you close the iris or crank up the shutter speed to let less light get into the sensor. What that means is that iso, more than affecting deeply, is conditioning your real exposure. What’s more, if you shot with the native iso of a camera (to my understanding, the one that preserves the highest number of stops above and below middle grey), you’re getting the most out of the sensor and boosting exposure in post would be the same as rising or lowering the iso value. Only the extreme situations would make one set the lowest iso value (when there isn’t a huge dynamic range in the image), or the highest (when protecting the highlights is paramount)

    Kinda true..but a HUGE difference is that other camera manufactures that have 'RAW' images actually still have a native iso but boost a signal from say 400 ISO to 640. Is the 640 data from the actual sensor? No, its a combination of the 400 ISO plus a boosted electronic amplification to come up with 640. So the 'RAW' image from other cameras is pure data, yes...but it is a hybrid mix of a native signal plus internal electronic 'boosting' to achieve their version of a 'pure' signal.
