Rec 709 was published in _1990_ (and had that gamma structure then, of course!).
All you can say red is doing is reciting the rather obvious combination of a 2k+ camera with rec 709, 23+ fps, etc.
Maybe it's the case that someone can't find a 2k camera being offered to the public early enough to invalidate on a prior art basis-- but I can't see how anyone could conclude from this that a red success would be indicative of anything but a deeply flawed patent system in dire need of reform.
