Rollover Battery Power sounds like AT&T rollover minutes; maybe they've got an internal battery (ie: clock battery) that can store the last of the interchangeable batteries' juice so you can swap out all batteries and have it running seemingly "battery-less" for a moment while you do so.

Hmm... I was wondering what "rollover battery" meant, but now that you mention it, that sounds really cool... Even if the boot time won't be a issue on the Epic like it is on the Red One, that would mean you could keep shooting while you're swaping batteries... Nice !
 
Umm.

I was planning on placing my Red One order just after October 30th (in the hope that Epic would ship this year for new users and I could just get that instead).

If I place my Red One order today, does that mean I wont be able to get the trade in rebate anymore when the Epic X becomes available?

I never saw that mentioned earlier?? In fact I hope I'm wrong in my understanding of Jim's post!
 
Thanks for the cool news Jim & Gang.
This sounds all very good.
I cant wait for may upgrade.

Hope everything will turn out as planed.
You guys give me goosebumps again.
Deja vu again.

Rock on.

The forum was taking a beating for a while for sure. I couldn't even get the announcement to load on my end until after 4:15. Heh. Anyway, I have a few questions...

1> How will people be selected for Stage-1?

2> Does a Stage-1 "TATTOO" camera include any of the modules or is it the full $28K price of admission just for the camera (and your RED being marked as "executed") in order to keep a lot of the "looky-loos" away from the beta program?

3> If we choose to buy the Epic-X brain outright and not trade in our RED One, is it still eligible for trade-in toward future Epic models? Seems kinda silly to consider this considering what Epic-X will offer and with the Stage 2 and 3 discounts with included modules, it seems like a no-brainer to do the trade in now...

4>Will all RED Ones, even those purchased tomorrow or next week, be eligible for the Mysterium-X upgrade? And if so, at what price? Will the M-X eventually be a configuration option when ordering a new RED One?
 
Ok,
totally lost here. do i have 30 days to decide what i want to do from when i get an email from red? Can i no longer upgrade my red one to M-X unless i choose option 2? very very lost.
 
When will there be more info about the stills capabilities?

I shoot both stills and motion and want the DSMC to be my only camera. Will this be the case or will I have to carry a D series for stills?

Rephrased: Can I buy the Red One tomorrow and get the trade in price for the Epic X when that becomes available?

It says "A RED ONE owner has one month after official notification to decide which stage option to select. If an option is not selected in that timeframe, the RED ONE owner will forfeit his trade-in allowance.". I don't see how that can be interpreted in any other way than the fact that you get one chance to decide whether or not you're in or out.

the wording says decide not buy.
 
Jarred,

Can the PL mount still be shimmed?

The tolerance would have to be pretty tight to make focus perfect on every brain.

Fixed means fixed

Fixed means fixed

Jim, what are we looking at as far as a "mild" price increase for the scarlet cameras? Also, is the fixed lens version ever going to be removable? (Probably a stupid question, but it would be amazing if it was)

Thanks

If I remember correctly, Jim stated as some point that Fixed means Fixed, aka cannot be removed. The Fixed 2/3" has a slightly larger body than the Cinema 2/3" to account for the fly-by-wire controls and other features that differentiate the camera from it's un-fixed brother.

Been a long day here, and it is past midnight, but when I re-read
then I must be totally off by dreaming of being able to take stills and motion at the same time? (i.e. shooting motion at 180 degrees / 24 fps, AND stills at whatever speed).
Click to expand...

No they're independent modes. You select which mode you want to shoot in, stills or motion. You're not going to be able to sneak a still frame capture into the middle of recording motion.
 
From what I read:

You choose a stage.
Stage one : if they let you
Stage 2 or 3 if you bought a camera before yesterday.
Stage four if you buy buy one after today, or just want to buy outright.

The Tattoos do come with modules, it says so in the announcement.

IF you waited to buy till after yesterday then you will only get a 17,500$ credit towards a epic s35 brain at full $28k with no modules.

Whatever stage you chose to be in, once they notify you that your order is ready, you THEN have 30 days to execute or lose you place and upgrade path.

Thats is what I read.

Also from what I have heard and see in the annoucment, the pl mount does not need to shim as the sensor will do the shimming from the mount.

Next, for all the people complaining about scarlet and being shut out from the boys club. This trade-in program is for the Epic-X. They have not announced how the scarlet line will be distributed. RELAX and wait a month to find out.

Movable sensor block; similar (but more advanced) to that on the Sony F35
 
is the 3 axis gyro meant to have enough precision for camera tracking....

if so that is one of the best ideas I have ever seen...embedded in the r3d and coupled with lens data that would make tracking bulletproof and this would be the CG post dream camera...
 
Specs look amazing, fantastic. Program looks amazing.

My question is, there is no direct upgrade to Epic FF35 (or 617, 645, etc.) listed...but we need to make a determination of which stage we're selecting only 30 days after notification.

So these are not included as options in the upgrade program? Or will these be moved along by then and included as options with appropriate pricing? Or am I missing something?
