I'm literally stuck in my office, unable to go home, unable to even get up and go to the bathroom.

COME ON, SCARLETT, SHOW US YOUR @$@#$!!!!!

This is too much fun!

 

[Michele Gavazzeni]

When do you think we will be able to actually order one?

Buy or Receive?

to me Shipping... 12/15 month

 

[Alain DEUDJUI]

No JIM! not yet!Just spill it for God sake.

 

[Blake Gentry]

Hey uh... that "taste" image that was posted a few days ago, the one that we all thought was a dock of some kind... how does that fit into this all?

 

[Michael Thomas]

Wait!!! What happened to our "pocket camera?"
I still want to shoot 3K in ultra-low-profile documentary hotspots...sports...

 

[cinemelissa]

I agree!

 

[Matt Dufilho]

It may be crude, but...REDGASM.


There it is.

 

[Jared Caldwell]

Is everyone having fun yet?

Jim

The RedTrain is never stopping! There is no telling where I am going to wind up by morning...

The answer is most definitely yes. Thanks Jim. :}

Holy moly that is a giant rig. Epic anyone?

 

[Richard Goodwin]

Amazing! My night is shot cause I cannot sleep. But the future after that is looking fantastic!

I'm probably behind because it took me a while to type this!

Just to recap, here's what we (seem) to know so far:
1. Generous upgrade policy
2. native Adobe workflow coming
3. Modular system between Scarlet and Epic
4. Lens mount has multiple options
5. Something that looks like a prime lens (presumably part of the modularity)
6. Something that looks like a matte box (presumably part of the modularity)
7. Configurations ranging from DSLR-like to pro-movie-camera-like
8. New sensor or sensors will be part of all this

Observations:
1. Engadget is in the house (hey guys!) - This isn't just about film-makers; the rest of the world is watching.
2. The entire Red team seems to be tuned in (needless to say, congratulations are in order for them: even without the announcements to come, the innovation so far is huge).
3. Jim seems to be taking immense pleasure in taunting us... I suppose there are worse fates than being kept up late by mad genius billionaires!

Speculation:
1. Swappable sensors are part of the modularity?
2. Ground breaking dynamic range on the new sensors?
3. Better than expected resolution for the new sensors?
4. Autofocus? (Seems like this would be needed to compete with DSLR's... impact on motion pictures could be substantial... no more need for external motors?)
5. Update on RedRay?
6. Update on 4K projection?
7. More workflow updates (not that Adobe support isn't huge by itself)?
8. Lots more accessories (part of the new modular system)?


Yes!

Nice Summary!!!!

Thanks!

[Thom Steinhoff]

First units in August 2009

(my guess)

I don't know--Most of the delay was getting the software right--and they have a pretty good handle on that, now.

I SAY NAB!!!

 

[Jarred Land]

Is it a party right now at red or what?

hells ya....

 

[Alex.Mitchell]

Oh God it just broke my H-Scroll!

 

[Neil Duffy]

Great Party!

 

[Steve Lewis]

Is it safe to say now (considering that Scarlet will have Monstro) that Scarlet will be capable of 4K or even (in the future) 4K+ ???

Who said you can't? The cube of the DSMC/SCARLET/EPIC doesn't look that much bigger than the original Scarlet
