15 bit?

15 bit?

What happend with this sentence?

"The 15 bit output delivers dynamic range you have always wished for"

I cannot find it and I'm sure that this sentence was in announce thread.
 
EPIC.

EPIC.

If Stage One is limited and starts at #0006, what are the chances for someone like me with #5923 to get Stage One?

Not everyone is getting Stage one...only a HANDFUL of people SELECTED. You can ask but they have the right to turn you down...it's at the bottom of the Stage One bit...

Basically Stage Two is where its really at...

I love it though...LESS 8,500 and you keep your RED One.

It's pretty much buying a second RED One in a way...plus getting a brand new RED One! Frankenstein is all I'm gonna say for that!

Jim and Team...
10/10 on genius.

Now I need to collect 19,500...WOOHOO!
 
3 Axis internal motion sensor, built in GPS receiver

So does this sensor also have a compass and Azmuith and Zenith sensors or can it extract the motion data from the 3 axis sensor. Im thinking it may be able to provide pan and tilt metadata also. Would be very good t have. the origional iphone sensor didnt have a compass and was hindered with its applications due to the lack of compass as an example.
 
I will take a TATTOO camera through some rough winter testing in the mountains of Norway this winter if given the chance!

Otherwise it looks like a sweet deal for all stages!

Looking forward to more!

Hope this doesn't get buried in the noise.

But what's the current boot-up time on the Epic-X? If I understand correctly, the R1 can sometimes take up to 3-4 minutes for a boot-up? Is this problem rectified on the Epic-X and will it be rectified on the S35 Scarlet as well? Sorry if this has been answered before or addressed in a firmware update that I missed. I've tried searching the forums for the last few days and couldn't find anything.

Also, any "ballpark" date on the release of the S35 Scarlet? Not looking for anything specific and understanding that it is always subject to change. However, I would like to know which year I can be expecting to purchase an S35 Scarlet. 2010? 2011? 2012? Again, I understand that it's always subject to change, but I'm sure you guys can estimate which year to expect delivery right?

Details/specs for S35 Scarlet on November 30th?

Thanks in advance. Some exciting times.
 
Hey guys,

Awesome work. I see some of my suggestions in there which tells me you are listening.

I am hoping with the new processing power in these brains they will be able to generate checksums for each clip that travel with the footage to ensure proper transfers and data integrity end-to-end.

Also I hope each brain or power module has some industry-standard power ports for accessories (with enough current to handle motors and such).

When search is turned off, you can search RedUser using Google by including site:reduser.net in your search. It actually works better than the built-in search and uses Google magic to look for multiple words, etc.

Can't search for it, as don't have the ability, but TED has said before that the start up on the EPIC is almost instantaneous...he might have said it in a video though.

At an educated guess S35 Scarlet in the second quarter of next year. If the EPIC X is probably around January time (as jim stated although the beta testing will obviously affect the release) and Scarlet 2/3" is next in line then it will be after that.
 
Monitoring

Is the monitoring from the epic 10-bit or will it be 8-bit like on the red one?

I'm not sure where this idea came from.

The monitor outputs on RED ONE are 10-bit.

EPIC will also support 10-bit.
 
Encouragement to Red team

Encouragement to Red team

Longtime lurker here. I am a prosumer who does nature photography, and who wants to get started capturing video footage. Have lots of money already invested in Canon, so obviously have been considering the 5D II and 7D. But disappointed in the 600 line resolution and aliasing on these cameras due to the line skipping or whatever it is they are doing on the sensor. The Red One and Epic-X plus accessories are priced out of my league, but they are clearly made for the pro cinematographer market so that is OK. I just wanted to let you know that with the announcements today, you have shown that your are doing all the right things for your existing customers, so you are a company I want to do business with. And you have revealed enough about the Scarlet 2/3" interchangeable and Scarlet S35 that they are very appealing to me. Obviously Scarlet plus accessories will cost much more than a 5D II or 7D, but the info available on the specs justifies the extra cost.

You have at least one future customer now saving money for a Scarlet S35 and Scarlet 2/3" interchangeable brain (for high-rez wide-angle shallow-DoF, and slow motion respectively). I am looking forward to the next announcement on Nov 30th to learn more about the systems. I think you will do good volume on these cameras once they are available.

Will the current Red Power cable work with the Epic (Red Quick Plates, ET IDX Plates, etc)?
Click to expand...

Due to the smaller brain size and lower power draw, the D.C power input connector is a smaller 1B shell size. It's also male gender as is common on most other professional cameras.

So existing D.C power units will need an adaptor cable.
 
Will using a lower resolution result in a cropped sensor as it does with the R1?
 
To Jim, or/and anyone else of the staff !
First thanks for your job and the announcement !

We're purchasing a Red in the next couple of weeks. Does anyone know if there is options for upgrade to the M-X s35 (30mmX15mm) imager? I want to make sure we can move up to the Epic when they are released. Any insight and help is appreciated.

I was seriously considering buying a RED-ONE along with an associate of mine, but now we're pretty puzzled by the last announcement. What happens if you decide to buy it now?

i believe Red posted a few weeks ago that if you didn't own a Red NOW ..( my translation) you might be kicking yourself in the buttocks in the future ( as in by the Oct 30 announcement) ..

"Anyone who buys a new RED ONE or a used RED ONE and transfers ownership after yesterday... will be able to trade it in for $17,500 credit on an EPIC-X Brain ONLY (STAGE Four)."

IMO it translates = you buy a Redone Aug 29,2009 or after that date , you get 17,500 on trade in... you are trading it in on the EPIC-X brians only ( your 28k EPIC-X Brain is NOT a package = no modules, no batts, no lcd , no etc.) ...
 
mean and practical : where are the good old bars ??

mean and practical : where are the good old bars ??

One thing I like in my Red1 is that I can attach my red drive at the back of it... And slide it backwards until it counterbalances the weight of a big/huge telephoto lens... I can't see anyway to do so in those renders... looks all cleaner and nicer, but how do we use the red 1 drive, and how about balance with a lighter camera body (unless we want to use a heavy cheese plate) ? I know.. mean and practical, but I'm shooting wildlife, and I'm not alone here doing so...
