Breakout box for using the LCD touch with the EVF Bomb

[Jim Coulter]

Does anyone know of a way to use BOTH the EVF Bomb and the 5" LCD Touch monitor concurrently? Since there is only one lemo port for the viewfinder are there any breakout boxes available that will accept 2 inputs?
This is a major problem especially when your focus puller needs a monitor while your using the EVF Bomb. I realize you can use the SDI out from the back of the camera but just being able to look into the EVF in bright sunlight
as well as having all the touch monitor's functions would be ideal. Does anyone have some suggestions as to where one could purchase a product that would make this possible? Thanks for your help.

Hi Jim, this has been covered a whole bunch. Here's what we know:

The pro i/o module will allow you to do this. It will also give the camera a longer form factor with XLR, SDI etc inputs.

Heres what we don't know:
Will it actually be that long. Will a shorter, cheaper, lighter module introduce just what you're looking for, nothing else. Will it clear FCC certification and be available by April, as Jarred last suggested.

Ryan thanks for the help. I just got my Scarlet and being new to Red I find myself suddenly in need of a LOT of information. I looked at the link and pictures- It looks like a Red engineered product. It also looks pretty expensive and as you mentioned big/ long.
Personally I would be happy with just a small box with dual inputs and a single line out. Now that I know there's an ongoing discussion I'll stay tuned. thanks again for the information.

With Stage 3 and 4 a long and individual process,
thousands of Scarlet orders to fulfill,
it must be so frustrating to work at Red knowing what's coming down the pipe compared to problems like these now.

Once they get done releasing the cameras they spent 2 years building, they'll have to find new stuff to cook up for hanging off the back.
