Red epic pics @ ibc 2009

If you don't use a side CF module, there is also an EVF / LCD output available on the PRO I/O Module......

Good to know. The pro I/O module looks huge and would defeat the purpose of removing the side CF module (I remember there used to be an LCD port on the top of the unit itself, but this may have changed). Still, nice to have at least a couple of options.

Haakon... there can be a ton of modules that do whatever you want. We are all ears.

How about a module that prints out money

2D - money would be more than fine ... in 4.5k batches

A camera control module with iris motor interface that streams to a realtime decoder that outputs to broadcast standards for multi camera OB event. Image control along the lines of a Sony MSU-950 and RCP-750. Maybe usable for on the fly colour looks onset without sneaker net to DIT.

Thanks, Jim. I'll shoot you a message with the kind of setup I would be interested in seeing.

It's so nice to have the means to actually reach a company directly and make a difference - rather than having to wait 2 years for the "next model" and see if they decided to make the right changes or not.

Wireless I/O module please.

Thanks.

Can the back CF and/or battery modules be flipped or mirrored?

II was thinking in terms of easy access for a side by side 3D rig.

 

[Imran Farouk]

Edit: nevermind, the cf card slot would easily be mirrored since it can be placed on either side of the cam probably

silly questions : how will red one cradle + batteries + hard disk adapt to Epic-X ? Matter of money, of course, but also the fact that on my red one, the whole thing was so modular I could use them to counterbalance the weight of very long/heavy lenses very efficiently...

Red has already stated that a V-plate adapter to use the RED Brick batteris are possible. One of the renders had a brick mounted to the back side of a shoulder pad, ostensibly using an umbilical to an adapter, and balancing out the weight of the brain up front.

And a mock-up shows a RED-Drive/RAM clamped to a EPIC:

Really, it should be trivial to have an EPIC/Scarlet module that can provide the ports necessary to use most of the previous accessories.

Good lord.

If the epric can be that small that i'm really excited to see just how compact we'll be able to see the scarlet.

I'm ready and waiting to buy mine

Jim,

I have an idea for a module.. I hope no one gets mad at me for this:

About Modules that can record in different codecs? Say for instance a PROREZ module?

This way a CF card can be used and the camera can record DIRECTLY into the Clients Native Codec.

R3D is a wondeful codec, I am merely suggesting this for those people that would need to deliever footage to a client same day in a file format that would require no transcoding.

Of course the real power would be the ability to order the module, and select the codecs you want the ability to capture in.

I don' t know if this is a bad thought or not, but it sure would be useful when going after work that may not otherwise want to use a RED.

The earlier prototypes had a flat top. Now I see a curved part on top. This makes it more complicated to mount a plate on top for steadicam low mode.

The prototypes have had the curved air vent for quite awhile now. Here's a picture from back in April when they showed the cameras in Vegas:

The original CG renders had a flat top, so I'm sure they wouldn't be putting it there if it wasn't necessary. With lots of processing power comes a lot of heat!
