  • 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 :)

Bug...

Every single thing in this industry needs appropriate time for development.

Probably it's the same with Epic/Scarlet firmware.

I feel pretty good and comfortable with MX upgrade anyway.

As I said around NAB 2011 or even later if it takes more time to fix all the things.

So for me no rush.
 
Good to have you back Jim. Good to keep up with the honesty too. Would have loved to have a cam in hand this year but since the euro tanked anyway I can easily wait a bit longer. Keep up the good fight - it is so incredibly important what your team does - thank you.

Great to have you back!

I know how frustrating and difficult it can be to try and track issues down in massively complicated codebases - our main product at work is something like six million lines! Working with firmware is even worse, since it's harder to debug too I'll bet... I hope you get it as soon as possible.

Stephen... you have no idea how complicated this program is. I had no idea how complicated it would be. If you look at what the "other guys" are doing... and they are trained professionals.

Life is short. People are measured by what they do... and not what they say they are going to do. So trust me when I tell you I will not rest until we do what I said we will do.

Thanks for the update Jim and welcome back! As the only Mysterium-X sensor camera currently in Japan, we're in a good position to ride out the delay. I'm confident it will be in the order of 1-2 months only, not 5-6 months. With an additional SWAT team in place to debug (no doubt specialists all) I'm sure you'll find it quickly and emerge stronger as a result.

Cheers and good health!

Quite happy to see this post.. Welcome back Jim! You've been missed. Glad you're better.
 
Hi Jim,
As dissappointing as it is to hear of a new delay I'm sure others will agree that we want a camera that is the best it can be and works flawlessly from day one. So any problems that are fixed now rather than post release are a blessing even if they mean waiting a bit longer to get our hands on the camera. I still think it's admirable that a company can keep it's clients and potential clients informed on such a base level. Suprisingly there are still many others that could learn from such openness.

Personally I'm happy waiting. I have a good product in the RedOne that still earns its keep and can shoot great footage. This isn't like the wait for the Red One!

Good luck fixing it.

Well rest a little bit Jim, the moment the cameras are finally out in the wild we'll need you online for every minutia of questions to be answered - and some of them not even sensible!
 
Welcome back Jim!

As much as I'd like to get the Scarlet and Epic fast, I'd also like them done right :-)
Take youre time, I'll be standing by!
 
Last post for the night... since it is 3am here. I believe in our team. I hope you do too...

Jim
 
Good to have you back Jim ! Everybody here is behind you

When we 1st got wind of this, we decided to make EPIC in the US, hoping that the company would find a solution in time for Scarlet production.

I think a camera manufactured in the US is a great idea.

You ALL have produced a great product, so if there are some who start to rag on you about this, it out of two reasons. One is jealousy and they're looking for a soft spot to needle you, or two, they admire the company and its products and are eagerly awaiting the next great thing from RED. We've been prewired now to expect the best from you guys and always appreciate your candor. Keep it up!
 
Ok! So give me advice please: I have been waiting for Epic or Scarlet for about 2 years and..and every time was delay and delay again...I didn't but RED ONE because I wanted to get the best product in the product line for the nearest 2-3 years..Of course if i was known in 2008 or 2009 that I will not be able to buy Epic or Scarlet before 2011 I of course bought RED ONE in 2009. But now again this dillema as in 2008-2009: buy RED ONE now and start shoot with risk that when will be released Epic and Scarlet my RED ONE became more old and whorse then Epic and Scarlet for the same money approx. or wait for about 6 month and buy the best products - Scarlet or Epic...but the risk that these 6 month may became 10, 12, 16. It is too long to wait for start shooting. So if I will know that I will be able to buy Epic or Scarlet in the begining 2011 I will wait if I will know that I will be able to buy Epic or Scarlet only in the end of 2011 I will buy RED ONE now. So if you were me What will you do? Wait and hope with so risk to buy Epic or Scarlet in the March 2011 or will buy RED ONE now with risk that if Epic and Scarlet will be released in Murch 2011...My RED ONE will not be yet the best product in the market for the aproxx same money? I just don't know what is the best dessision because I have money only for one chance? And of course I want to buy the best product for the same price for the nearest 2-3 yeasrs. Could you please advise me something? Thanks
 
Glad your back and fighting fit.
Looking forward to Reds products continuing to revolutionise the cam world.
 
Jim,

You have 100% support, i for one really appreciate RED's unprecedented levels of communication with customers, just being kept in the loop makes all the difference. Good to see you back.
