  • 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 :)

Attitude adjustment...

What about the people who recently bought epic or scarlet. I got my scarlet package on 10th of Oct. Do we get some sort of credit as mentioned in your initial post ?

Ok guys who's got a used Epic-x brain for $12k or so. I'm now in the market ;-)

The Mayans were right: end of the old world and start of a new!
 
Yeee hah! Great job, Red! That'll have them shaking in their boots over at Sony. :)

No, read carefully; he said it's not *included*:

"Dragon sensor upgrade is not included for any EPIC system purchased at the new pricing going forward"

Which is slightly confusing I admit, since AFAIK Dragon upgrade has never been 'included' in any EPIC pricing. I understand it to mean that it'll be a higher price upgrade for these cameras, and lower for earlier purchases; the cameras are identical and ANY Epic can be upgraded to Dragon.

Yes, Mike. Already corrected, kinda got lost in the turmoil of the first minutes (and an edit from the original post from Jim). Makes more sense like this, anyway!
 
Looks like the guys are RED are getting a little overtime tonight.

As I said before, everything in the electronics world changes... usually for the better, cheaper and faster. EPIC and Scarlet just did. Right now.

We have built an incredibly efficient factory in Irvine, California and over time learned how to make EPICs in quantity, lowered our assembly costs, found better suppliers and fully paid off our NRE. When we assembled the 1st EPIC camera in Stage 6 at RED Studios Hollywood it took our team 12 hours. It took two more days to de-bug. Today we can assemble an EPIC in 13 minutes and 95+% need no re-work after diagnostics and testing. It is a testament to our manufacturing team and supply chain teams.

Since our costs are now significantly lower we are re-pricing our cameras as of now.

For those of you that purchased a new Scarlet or EPIC brain on or after Oct. 1st 2012, the next time you order accessories from RED you will receive a discount to use towards that purchase. $1000 for Scarlet and $4000 for EPIC. Talk to your Bomb Squad representative when you are ready to use this discount.

Now… here is the new pricing:

5K EPIC-X Brain- $19,000

5K EPIC-X Monochrome Brain- $20,000

5K EPIC-M Brain- $24,000

5K/4K Scarlet Brain- $7,950

4.5K RED ONE M-X Battle Tested- $4000 (includes CF or SSD recording module). The RED ONE is End of Life. Battle tested is all that will be available from here on out.

Due to high anticipated volumes, plan on extended response and processing times.

Dragon sensor upgrade is not included for any EPIC system purchased at the new pricing going forward. It will be a $6K upgrade.

Pricing is being updated on www.red.com as I post this.

Jim is there any chance at all that people like me, who have ordered their Epic, been billed, but my Epic hasn't arrived yet, will be able to return and buy at lower price. I've just lost $11500 on a camera I haven't received yet.
Please. I've saved for a long time for this.
 
Jim def said 5k/4k Scarlet.... So does that mean well be seeing a functional 5k format on the Scarlet soon? HMMM OOOO The world spins again. Until the next announcement.

$7100 plus Red Armor is $8600, without knowing the figures exactly $7950 pluss side ssd and Canon Mount is about $10500 give or take?

So with 2 year warranty it is still close to $2000 cheaper, if I've read correctly and my maths is OK?

My disclaimer was that I was confused ;)

Jarred or Jim: Please let us know what's up for those with Scarlet wanting Dragon board!? PLEASE!

We do not have an answer for that until the new ASIC comes out of the oven.. But we will do our best to make sure there is some upgrade path from Scarlet to Dragon. Just don't know what that looks like yet.
