  • 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 :)

Dec. 3rd responses here...

Fully sampled and then a high quality scaling engine :)

No skipping rows...

You're too funny Deanan. Maybe we need to add "no row skipping spoken here!"

just wondering if the sensor specs (pixel size, dynamic range) were left off this time because they haven't been confirmed, or because people on the forums had too many retarded "quantum efficiency" discussions after the last time you posted them?

Lucky Guess :)
 
I can't imagine the fixed Scarlet being released until later next year (at the earliest) but if the specs and price stay the same, I will be happy once the time comes around to buy it. Until then, I play the waiting game.

The scarlet 2/3 its not capable of shooting 120 fps with FF30 fps in 1080p?! Its less data rigth than 3K. So why not?

Buy a Sony HDCAM.

Geez, Jim, what's up with that? Too much coffee?

For the record, I purchased three RED Ones. I suspect that puts me somewhere in the top 5% of RED One purchasers. We used two of 'em for our first film.

And, Jim, what's absolutely true is that low-budget filmmakers need more dynamic range than the big boys. They have light kits to die for. They can put as much light inside a room as that great HMI in the sky. We, on the other hand, have a very modest set-up with just two small HMIs (2500 and 1200, respectively) and six Kino-esques. Attempting to shoot indoors and get enough light inside to maintain exterior detail on a bright day just isn't possible with small light kits. Thus, my (and other indie filmmakers') craving for the higher dynamic range of the Monstro.

For the record, I'm very excited about the new cameras. I'll undoubtedly buy an Epic or two. It just happens that a lot of us are going to be holding out for the FF35 to get that added dynamic range.

is it necessary to say Doctor Pruitt speaks for the benefit of all of us?

So the Epic X LE will be $28k also? I just don't want to get excited about upgrading prices until I confirm them:)

Not as exciting as I was hoping (I wanted the freakin cure for cancer), but these are going to be some VERY nice cameras!

Sorry, we're still working on the cancer thing. But, yes, we're trying very hard to make the best cameras in the world. EPIC X comes complete with Media module, I/O module and battery module for the price of an EPIC S35 Brain only. And only for RED ONE owners. Present and future.

it's not just about data -- scaling 3k to 1080 on the fly must use a ton of processing power. enough that it can't do 120 frame resize/debayers in a second.
 
Guys, look at the target dates. It looks to me like the only reason some cameras get Mysterium-X and some get Monstro is because some of them will be shipping before Monstro exists, and some will be shipping after.

Can someone from RED confirm that the Epic X -- really, any/all of the brains shipping with Mysterium-X -- will be eligible for upgrades to Monstro when that sensor technology is ready?

Countless hours of hard work from many have contributed to making this program happen. RED is a collection of the most talented people I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

And how! After the 13th I was both very excited yet somewhat perplexed at some of the specification holes. Now I am stunned, the changes made are just sensational. You guys are pulling out all the stops, I *love* to see engineering being so directly and repidly crafted into art.

You. guys. Rock.

There are many factors that impact frame rates. In the case of 1080P, the additional processing for sampling, scaling and compressing the RGB limits the frame rates.
 
ummm feedback......

The R1 sensor upgrade for $4.5K looks about right. Thanks for the option.

The Epic X looks like Jim is selling us (with freebies) a camera nobody wants.

How do we move from the S35 Epic to the FF35 Epic (a camera everybody wants)?

Or is Jim saying.....'you spent about $35K to go from nothing (exisiting old cameras) to the all singing/dancing RedOne and you're gonna pay that amount again to get the additional 3+ stops/ 4Kchroma rez etc.

The issue that won't go away is this Epic upgrade path.

Unless i missed something?

ever cheerful/happy,
Dave

ps: i don't think it's a matter of we're got the technology, lets cut it up with the marketing knife. the thing that really separates Red from it's competitors is the leaps in value/technology it was able to do. I'd hate to see the sun setting on this.

sure... it works like this: sell your Mysterium X brain and use the money to buy a Monstro brain.

ok but seriously. why is everyone acting all dissatisfied? you haven't even seen what mysterium X looks like.
 
I may just be dreaming here, but something is compelling me to ask; Is the REDmote included with the brain?

not to get into name calling, but you're a moron.
 
Does anyone know how the "burst" mode work?
In the case of Scarlet S35, you get 72fps burst at 5K.

Thanks
