120 FPS?

[Chad Bonanno]

Again I would kill to have 1.5K at 96 fps. It fits into the scheme of RED's choosen frame rates, and it would be slightly bigger than 720p. It would be a usable resolution, plus it be a great comparision against the competition for marketing purposes. (Plus it would fit my personal needs for webwork!)

+1 I am ALL about this 1.5K @ 96FPS...

It's possible that on some level Red has an interest in giving the Red One certain capabilities that the Scarlet does not possess. Do not mistake what I am saying, the Scarlet has a tremendous feature set and is great value for money for a wide range of reasons, but the cost of a shootable Red One package is still higher than that of a shootable Scarlet package (provided we are talking about new orders of course, after market is a different matter as there are some great Red One packages for sale used at a tremendous value). The Scarlet has a lot of advantages over the Red One (small form factor, access to the same accessories as Epic, HDRx, 5k stills, access to the Dragon sensor upgrade in the future... the list goes on...), but there's probably some value to Red in having the Red One maintain advantages in some areas (4.5k mode and 120fps in 2k mode being the biggest ones).

I think there is a very real possibility that the Dragon upgrade brings the cost of a new upgraded Scarlet to par or past the cost of a Red One. Combine that new cost with the increased horsepower under the hood (the non-sensor part of the upgrade, I would assume) and I wouldn't be shocked to see higher frame rates at all current resolutions on the Scarlet. Probably not as high as Epic's current frame rates, but 5k motion, 4k slow motion/HDRx, 3k at pretty high frame rates (60fps? 72fps?) and 2k at still higher frame rates (120fps?) seems like a real possibility to me.

I'm well aware of what you are saying. I have a feeling that with it's current hardware it should be able to do what the RED ONE can do. Also there were rumors of the RED ONE MX being discontinued, so maybe if that happens, we may see some of these features enabled on the current scarlet hardware? Who knows.

I've always wondered how the Scarlet didn't have the same capability of the RED One (other than cost and keeping divisions). These were built to be Epic chips originally weren't they? Before the addition of HDRx and what not?
