  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Epic Tear Down (FCC)

Wow.... Epic-X (not M - previously)
 
What's illegal about publishing the innards of an electronic device?

I assume they bought it. It's their camera. They can do whatever they want with it.

iFixIt do it all the time.
 
I guess you are right. But it does void the warranty, correct?

The camera was given to the FCC as required by US law. They documented their analysis of the internals and the information is available to the public, which is how the site obtained the images. Still, I wonder what they did with it afterwords....
 
This is nearly a whole year old.

If nothing else, it shows the complexity of what the red team has done.

And to be making this in America instead of in a factory where workers are literally dying is a bold move.

Strange side note - I remember holding Ted's early epic proto, and autofocus and HdMI were both enabled one year before firmware 2.05 came out. This almost seems to indicate a complete hardware revision - and I for one am glad they did whatever they did because I have zero problems with my Epic M.

M stands for Mensch because it's the effing MAN!
 
this is FCC stuff.. normal process. old news :)
 
I'm pretty sure the thing we saw about a year ago was an Epic-M being disassembled. I think (!) the Epic-X needs a new FCC approval (right, Jarred?) which is why we see this again now. As a tech/electronics geek I can't help getting a hard on watching those photos ;-) The innards of the Epic is truly a pleasure to see. Very neatly done.

Yes, this is old news. It was put up months ago by another publication and the link is a recycling of that content under someone else's banner.

this is not old news this is new as of a few days ago, the old one was the teardown of the EPIC-M this is the EPIC-X
 
Yeah when this happened last year with the M there were about a dozen threads started linking to the story & pictures... and every single thread was quickly deleted.

Never quite figured out why... it IS public information, published by the FCC, in the public domain.

its amazing the amount of stuff they packed into that body
 
EPIC-X Fine circuits - are they coated with protection against humidity?

EPIC-X Fine circuits - are they coated with protection against humidity?

Seeing all the complex tightly packed circuits of the EPIC-X is a treat. It does, however, make me hope that a lot of consideration has been given to protection against the adverse effects of humidity. I would assume that where ever possible protective coatings have been applied. I plan to be using an EPIC-X at times during the monsoon season in Asia so humidity is a big concern. I trust RED has taken advantage of all the latest and best developments in the field of computer circuit protective coatings. RED INDIA will be in a position to gather a lot of information about RED Equipment durability in a humid tropic climate and I trust that will aid in the development of very well protected RED cameras in the future that are as dependable as possible in the adverse conditions of a tropical or damp climate.
 
...unbelievable, how anyone can put all these in
such a small body!
as I keep saying to anybody who asks me,
how good my epic is: it's one generation ahead,
that's it!
I'm wondering what the dragon will bring...
