  • 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 :)

6K Dragon-X DSMC2 Petition!

Not open for further replies.
So I'm a bit confused by this thread....

You suggested to Jarred that he could pair your 6K Dragon sensor with the new boards and image processing. I get that you might not want to go down in resolution with DSMC2 if you're happy with Dragon.

He was looking for 50 more that might want to do this.

But more than half of the list here is people with all kinds of 'not 6K Dragon' cameras. Is there confusion about what this was about, or has it become "bring any old camera and trade it in".... for a whole new camera?

Now that I re read the post it might not be for scarlet w owners. It seems like the only upgrade would be for people who already own 6k sensors
 
Apparently, Dragon-X could become 6K with some efforts according to Jarred, so I guess no one will ever want to upgrade to Dragon-X 5K if 6K exists finally. It would be a good way to keep existing DMSC2 owners from selling their brain to switch to Komodo once it will be available. Once Komodo is out, it will be hard to sell 5K Dragon-X anyway, but I might be wrong :-)

Jarred's quote suggests board replacement for Dragon, there is no resolution clause.
 
I also thought the challenge was offered only for Weapon MG with 6k Dragon owners...

Now RED could reconsider rebake some 6k Dragons and offer that upgrade path for non 6k Dragons owners... ? (Speculations...)

The fact that there is even a glimmer of hope of this happening is one of the best parts of the Red ecosystem. I imagine upgrades are a logistical nightmare.

I was doing it primarily for Weapon Mg owners, but with the growing interest of all of these other camera owners who have held onto their bodies waiting for something "better" to come up, I thought it'd be nice to compile a list and show Jarred the growing interest in a 6K Dragon-X :)
 
Yeah, I was under the impression he meant use your pre-existing DSMC2 6k sensor/pcb (from Weapons), and then replace the rest of the boards with DSMC2 Unified hardware (to get finalized IPP2, highest res proxies, LUT support). Not to make a new batch of freshly cut DSMC2 Unified 6k Dragons.

Maybe JarJar could chim in to confirm/clarify... (I’m pretty sure he peruses the forum. :)

+1 DSMC1 Epic Dragon, also depending on price.

There’s also the idea that RED may want to do this because Komodo will be much lower priced, but higher spec’d in one major area (resolution) than Dragon-X.
