by the by ISO 8000. Really? REALLY?
 
Jarred, thanks for the update on the RED STATION. Me like it.

So what are the initial capacities of the new SSD mags? Any prices yet? The render shows 128GB on the 1.8", but just wondering what the state of things actually is or if it's still to early to say...

My only concern as a non r1 owner is to do with accessories. Imagine spending 28k on just the brain and then being on the bottom of the list for accesories when the the people who are top of the list will already have a fully working kit due to their great loyalty deal. I think to be fair they should only sell the brain to new customers like me if they can guarantee to also ship the ordered accessories with it at least for the vitals.

I'm sure you wouldn't have to wait to have a fully functioning camera. I think that they probably learned a lot with the R1 rollout and it will be smoother.

The fan intake is on the front of the brain and the exhaust is in fact the vents on the top.

I thought the sensor was in a sealed area of the body? The air doesn't flow through there? does it? I guess it just removes heat from the body.

Correct.. that intake/exhaust is completely sealed from the internal electronics. The only thing you can screw up in that entire heat tube is the fans, which are user replaceable.
 
I agree, there are a LOT of price options for Scarlet users. Consider this camera versus an HPX 170 or EX1/3 pricewise and functionality.

3 axis Gyro, 5 axis sensor adjustment, Metadata for 3 different lens mounts, RAW, 3k, redcode...the list goes on and on vs VDSLR. I'm pretty sure you're getting your money's worth and then some...and some more and more.
 
Looks like things are coming along nicely at RED... love the real pictures. Bravo. No complaints here...

I get a kick out of the bottom of the first picture in regards to the trademarks "RED, EPIC X, SCARLET.... and a bunch of others are registered trademarks of RED" - now that's just funny.
 
Jarred, didn't you say something about the BOMB EVF being available separate from the EPIC camera program? Do you have a date for that yet?

As someone who waited many months with the current EVF on backorder, I have to decide if I should buy one now that they are available, or wait (a bit) to get a BOMB...
 
Autofocus in stills mode?

Autofocus in stills mode?

Alright. Now we're cooking!

One question (search is a hopeless case). I LOVE the touch screen focus tracking. That, dare I say it, is what I would call a game changer for indie film making - I know many disagree but that's my opinion. Just wanted to ask, for stills work, do these brains have autofocus? The Nikon mount will be my weapon of choice. Will it work like my Nikons in stills mode?
 
Shane - Jim stated the Nikon/Canon mounts were active, so it is likely they will support the auto focus motors of the lenses.

I second Stephen's question. I'm in the same boat for a few new ones and would love to wait on the Bombs.

I'm a student filmmaker, and unless there are some announcements that have not taken place yet, I am very disappointed with the pricing. I thought the whole idea behind Scarlet and Epic was that Scarlet would be for folks like me, attending school or people who just do not have a budget, and Epic would be for the professionals. However, it seems like all of the accessories have Epic-sized pricing

jeff,
not to sound like a curmudgeon, but in this situation, i'd definitely tell you to consider yourself lucky to live in the age you do. Those prices are less than most s16mm film AKS you would have seen in the 90s, and you still would have had to pay for film stock. Not since the beginning of filmmaking has it been necessary to own a camera to make films. Borrow, rent, trade. Thats what professionals do anyway, by-in-large.

I'll throw this out there one more time in the hopes someone with a red name sees it. Any news on the FF35 lenses? Or will that come with the FF35 brains?
 
I hope all the sensor data is fully available to program external devices via a software program that is user friendly???

Yes Sorry Stephen, The Bomb EVF we will have very small numbers in December.. Normal Production should begin in January.

Compressed, sure. Uncompressed, no. This has been covered in the past - not only would the uncompressed data stream be practically useless when compared to the quality of the compressed stream, but there isn't a practical means to transfer and store a data rate that high.

Do a search on the topic - Jim addressed this earlier in the year.

I do believe he made a hypothetical option available to those who just couldn't live without access to the data right off the sensor. They even put a price to the option. No one took Jim up on the offer.

Eh...I think you are mixing up some of the EPIC stuff with some of the Scarlet stuff, there. Perhaps Jarred can clarify, but the accelerometer stuff and so on is listed under the Epic. Don't get carried away, is all...and bear in mind that potential Scarlet users were expecting today to be the big information day, not to wait another month for more detailed information.
