#4K4ALL

[Phil Holland]

Hey Phil, red (raven) noob here WS is anamorphic?

Nope, RED cameras have several "major" formats which equate to aspect ratio and resolution combinations.

FF - typically means 1.90:1 (DCI Aspect Ratio)
2:1 - which is exactly what the aspect ratio is, 2:1
HD - refers to any aspect ratio that is 1.78:1 (or often known as 16x9)
WS - refers to the 2.37:1 aspect ratio

So when somebody says I shot this at 4K FF, they mean 4096x2160 as that is the 1.90:1 aspect ratio and 4K is the captured resolution.

Red supports Anamorphic Shooting using all formats, you turn the anamorphic mode on in the format tab (2X or 1.3X) and select a resolution and format. Since traditional anamorphic shooting is done at 6:5 or 4:3, Red has included those.

However, I don't know exactly how anamorphic is implemented on Raven if at all.

Would I be correct in saying the Rokinon 16mm T2.2 (APS-C Coverage) Canon EF Mount lens is the fastest option for wides for the Raven at the moment? Also looking at Tokina 11-16 2.8 as its wider, But no de-clicked aperture and slower.

Any idea what will happen with Scarlet now, and possibly Epic, will this precipitate a price drop?

What are the differences between Scarlet-X and Raven, off top of my head

1. Scarlet can shoot 5k in 12fps
2. Scarlet has HDRx

Anything else?

http://www.red.com/products/scarlet-mx why is the scarlet page down, is this normal? Or has it been taken down to update it with new information or EOL

p.s. I take it Raven will not be having any form of hdr-X

Thanks man, I gotta get up to code on the shorthand!

We are double dipping on all the questions and answers here so lets lock this one down and push new questions to the RAVEN thread.
