  • 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 :)

10 Scarlet Questions from Joseph Hutson

Glad to hear about the nice progress on the auto-focus. Looking forward for a solid autofocus that you can have a little more faith in! Is the touchfocus ready yet?
 
Another question, is the autofocus on the fixed scarlet using motors inside the lens? I assume that that is the case but we have never really discussed the design of the fixed lens. I assume that zooming is manual correct?

the touch is part of it yes.. as well as face tracking.

These algorithms are pretty hardcore.. The same algorithms used on the EPIC to control autofocus on the RED FF35 lenses ( and canon and nikon electronic lenses ) have trickled down to Scarlet.

And yes the motors are in the lens, both autofocus, iris and zoom. That 8x lens all by itself is a technical achievement all by itself. And remember this is a cinema lens.. with custom actuators and lens group movements designed for both motion and still.

Is this not better than the update you had in mind? :thumbsup:

In my mind... at the end of the mid-May update there was a p.s. that would read: "Oh and by the way, Brad Webb is getting a free Scarlet for his birthday in June". So, not better than the update in my mind.... but close. :smash:

Good job Jon and the rest of you on that team...
 
WOW! Thanks for the update RED! You guys rock. Got me reenergized big time over that Scarlet Fixed. I will patiently wait for however long it takes. BIG THANKS!
 
Thanks Jarred. The biggest news for me is the focal lengths. It is actually pretty much ideal. Look forward to the detailed update.
 
Is the mysterious 21 an infra-red laser pointer directed by the focus puller at the desired subject with the auto focus set in a mode to focus only on the origin of that wavelength? :) (just a completely wild guess of course but it sounds like the kind of innovation RED would come up with)
 
Hey Neil.. we are not making that.. but I do know a company that is :)
 
thank you very much Jarred for answering Joesph's questions, these were really very helpful in getting a picture of the current stage and my expectations of the Scarlet in general!

KO
 
haha, thanks Jarred, no doubt you already had something better up your sleeve (as usual)
