  • 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 :)

April shipping update

on average.. I'd say we have moved up to maybe 10%. But sometimes its zero.. and you dont know till you turn them on. Best possible case would be 30% yield with a sensor this complex. That's why they are so expensive.

If we were making 1080p or even 3K sensors we probably would have a 80% yield... for reference I'd imagine an Alexa sensor costs less than 1/20th the price to make than an 8k dragon sensor from just that yield point alone. Keep that in mind next time you hear a company say that resolution doesn't matter :)

Heh, sort of like early days of solar cells efficiency... hope fabricators increase efficiency at a faster rate. '-)

Really glad I got in on the introductory price. Thanks again to you and any others involved in keeping the program open past the first drop dead date.
 
Is it possible to switch to W online? Can't get a hold of my bombsquad rep!

sorry I just got a slap in the side of the head update... no way will it be till the end of next week, in the last 8 hours since I posted we had alot of movers to S-W.

So I'm curious now after Jarrod's clarification. So if any Raven order (before or after scarlet announcement) can switch and be allocated before NAB, why do the Raven orders made say late December take priority when switching over Scarlet orders made December 10th? Could I put in a Raven order today, then switch it to Scarlet tomorrow to jump ahead in line?

I guess that means that those of us who pre-ordered Scarlet-W after the announcement will have to wait until after NAB to get our cameras?

Scarlet wasn't even supposed to be announced until NAB :)

yeah its almost the same concept just in reverse. The easiest way for people to relate to is if you look at computer monitors and bad pixels. if you have a 1080p monitor, the chance of having a bad pixel is 1/4 than if you have a 4k monitor. Move that to 8k, and the chance of having a dead pixel goes to 16x as likely to have a bad pixel. Its not exactly like that.. but gives you an idea.

who knows... maybe you will be able to switch over to a mystery camera (Epic W?) after a NAB announcement and be first in that line. I mean, RAVEN pre-orders had no idea a Scarlet W was coming when we put down our deposits, and RED made it right on the early RAVEN orders by allowing them to switch.

Brent has a wi-fi transmitter implanted in Jarred's cap that alerts him when Jarred is about to spill the beans before April 18 so he can advise against. This is theoretical and unproven at present.

Dont worry Phil... Your name is very close to the top of the 8k list. If this batch is good, you are going to have alot of new friends buying you drinks at NAB.

hopefully that means youll be fulfilling our raven pkgs even faster :)
us raven guys need to get our ducks in a row and have these in our hands as soon as possible, particularly us that ordered 9/24.
 
Since the Raven announcement and getting involved with the Reduser community I've been on one hell of a ride. Allocation is while away for me, Reduser is informative and entertaining in the meanwhile. Keep up the great work Brent and Jarred, thank you!
 
Thanks for the update and detailed info. Very cool, an so unusual these days

What are rough shipping estimates for Raven I/Os preordered before Scarlet? Say 11/30/15, hypothetically :) 4/8/16?
