San Diego, CA – September 28th, 2007 – Gates Underwater Products, the global leader in reliable underwater housings, announces DEEP RED, a housing for the RED ONE camera.  DEEP RED represents a major advance in underwater imaging, providing the means to capture 4K resolution (or 4 x HD resolution) motion imaging, suitable for digital cinema.
“Development of the RED camera is a landmark in motion picture capture, as different from video as video is from film and better than both.” remarks Mr. Hall. “The Gates DEEP RED housing will be a 'no-compromise' solution to taking this technology underwater.  Working with Gates I plan to create a housing that incorporates all of the control and practicality I have always required for professional underwater motion picture cinematography.”
Gates expertise in precision optics and ongoing partnership with Fathom Imaging will produce the clearest, sharpest undersea images from DEEP RED – an absolute requisite with 4K, a format with 4 times greater resolution than HD, and 24 times more than SD.
