Scarlet update in mid-May

[Jarred Land]

good job... give me a bit to answer these, the SSD module just came up :)

[Joseph Hutson]

1) Is the 2/3 still on target ahead of the S35
2) Is the focal length of the 2/3 fixed solidified yet
3) Are there new features coming not previously discussed on the 2/3 brains?
4) How much difference in dynamic range should the 2/3 have in comparison with epic (13.5)
5) Will the read/reset of the 2/3 be on par with the epic (5ms)
6) Any news on the telephoto / wide angle adapters for the 2/3?
7) Will there be some sort of 'basic package' available for the 2/3 cinema or S35?
8) Does the fixed 2/3 package come in a nice case or is this something we should have made (ie Pelican)
9) Have the 2/3 or Epic been tested yet with Canon or Nikon lens?
10) Can we PLEASE see some more sample video and pics from the 2/3 fixed! :)

Just some ideas!

I'm not a RED employee yet, but this is what I'd say from the outside looking in...

1: I think you'd hate to receive a 2/3" Scarlet in 2011
2: Why not just ask what it is? :D
3: It's RED...of course their are a million and maybe a few more features that haven't been discussed and we'll say "Brilliant!"
4: Good Question
5: Another good question
6: Optics are going to be great...that's the market that Jim's done quite well in.
7: There already has been a confirmation on a basic package for the Fixed Scarlet and I can't see them not doing it for the cinema Scarlet likewise. The S35 is a good 6-8 months out, and we shall take a look at that brain after we get some 2/3" specifics down. :)
8: Not the most pressing on my mind at the moment, but I'd suggest you go ahead and get the pelican with one of these... http://www.red.com/store/895-0001
9: You better believe they've done some intense testing with the EPIC. ;)
10: It'll be here when they are ready. Don't tell me you don't like showing off your new toys when you have them ready for your friends.

There is one thing I can tell you is still on track... Our relentless pursuit on mastering the art of successfully missing every single date we ever announce... that seems to be well on schedule.

hahaha

Haha :) I like the 'yet' :)

1. Yes, I'd hate to receive a Scarlet in 2011, I'd much rather see it in 2010 :)
6. Not a question of the optics being good, but of what they are considering as multipliers for the tele/wide converters.
8. Just found a local Pelican dealer that stocks ALL sizes. Was just curious and throwing out a random question. I really like the Pelican cases, and yes, it would look nice with the RED logo on there! :)

This is a nice break while working late :) Glad I could help get some good questions on the table. Should be sleeping since I have to be at a shoot at 7:30 in the morning, but too much to do :) (Eastern Time)

What a treat it was to check this thread while I'm at work and catch what is about to go down. It can get depressing at times on the Ambulance, but in-between calls I find myself checking the site, hoping for moments like these. And here we go....

tick...tick...tick... the tension mounts!

1. Is Monstro Scarlet alive or is it still just a napkin sketch?
2. Will FF35 Scarlet be getting anamorphic de-squeeze in monitor?
3. Once the S35 and 2/3" Scarlets ship, will a lot of that work be re-usable for the FF35 program? Or will it be another whole wait cycle?
