Availability Scarlet ??

[Mick Doll]

still no ideas of the availability date of the Scarlet and Epic?

 

[David Rasberry]

According to the latest announcements, Epic-X shipping between now and NAB. Scarlet shipping around or after NAB and Epic-S shipping late spring/early summer depending on demand for Epic-X.
All cameras shipping in quantity by end of summer. No hard dates yet.

I heard rumors the Scarlet might be distributed through B and H...any word on anything like that still a possibility? Or will it all be direct through Red.com?

Sounds like rumors to me. I don't work for RED, so I can't speak officially, but I highly doubt they'd sell their cameras through someone else. There's no point in it.

I would consider it possible. RED has already announced one reseller - Seika Corporation in Asia.

Seika Corporation and RED Digital Cinema have entered into an Authorized Seller Agreement, which makes Seika Corporation the first authorized reseller for the company.

This collaboration will allow RED Digital Cinema to both grow sales and provide enhanced local support for customers in the Asia region.

When asked, they said that there would be others insinuating that they are open to the idea, having already built working relationships.

More will come... Seika has been a close partner with RED since day one so it was an obvious first step. We are lucky to have also aligned with many other great resellers over the last couple years and are excited to work with them when we are ready.

Of course, that says nothing about B&H being included explicitly. But it does show that RED is at least interested in the prospect of using resellers.

Imagine how awesome that would be! Maybe I should pack my bags and head over to my first NAB...it certainly seems like RED has some exciting things planned.

Selling through B&H was mentioned by RED as a possibility way back with the original Scarlet concept. The new, modular system is probably unsuitable for that kind of shop.
