Dragon....

[Chris McKechnie]

It's going to be so worth the wait. Dragon will breath fire down upon all of its competition.

 

[Jarred Land]

Wow! A heater on the sensor, that is really awesome. And of course I can't wait to see some footage.

Now you can start to understand why it took so long

Jarred, Does that mean multiple ISO's could be used for HDRx instead of shutter speed? That would be incredible if we could have an X track capturing at 200ISO and A track capturing at 2000ISO with the same shutter speed. That would mean good bye to motion artifacts.

ISO is already metadata...

Cool! Thanks!

but does the heater breathe fire?:emote_happyhappy:

 

[Jarred Land]

Hi Jarred,

Is there a sensor temp-monitor system/warning and/or user selectable record/enable vs. sensor temp value,etc...?

Thank you very much

Fury

Yup, Dragon Firmware will target that temp on adaptive mode, and the monitor is in the bottom middle, it shows sensor and camera temps and they change colors when its outside the best range.

obviously, but if there was a way to capture the DR and captured exposure of the lower ISO in a separate track they could be combined in post to give 19 stops of DR...

I've been shooting RED for years, I'm not an idiot...

Nawwhice! Now for the footage...

thank you very much

A fan and a heater, this will allow for a much more stable sensor temperature than before -- which means less need for new black-shadings?

 

[Marcos Montenegro]

Oh Jarred, why did you just do that? You are a tease, man!

Yup, Dragon Firmware will target that temp on adaptive mode, and the monitor is in the bottom middle, it shows sensor and camera temps and they change colors when its outside the best range.

Let's talk about what's really important here: can we get a nice, high-resolution picture of the guys?

 

[Justin Kirchhoff]

16+ stops and the non-extinct HDRx will give us plenty to work with. I can't think of an ugly image that someone would shoot (unless of course the exposure is not measured correctly). I'd love to do some real world tests of over and under exposure with controlled lighting conditions, just to see how much work it would be to bring a shot back from the "dead"...

o trust me I've shot quite a few ugly images... it just wasn't the camera's fault

 

[Dmitry Burenok]

How's power consumption doing on dragonized EPIC? I guess that tiny redvolt in side handle is just "internal clock battery" with a new sensor ))

 

[Paulo Emílio]

Images, pics, fooootage, milk girls.....( ouuu milk girls at 6k will be so nice)

 

[Ted Parkes]

Great timing .. should line up with a new series I start shooting later in the fall. I thought I was going to have to drag a 5D along for the low light situations. This is perfect.

Remarkably even with all the extra horsepower, Dragon is running at about 56 watts in 6K @24fps loaded up vs. the Epic MX running at 61 watts loaded up @5k 24fps. So almost a 10% reduction in power.

Graeme has also had the time to really dig deep into the color science. He will say he is never done.. but there are alot of color improvements he has made that are worth the upgrade all by themselves.

Thank heavens. Look forward to seeing it.

Will MX continue to evolve some or is Dragon pretty much the focus? For example, now that everything is ready to go, do you know if the new colour science implementation will improve MX images at all, or will it be a strictly Dragon affair? Also, I was still kind of clinging to the possibility of 4480x1920 and that pseudo-HDRx 4k mode on Scarlet-X; should I stop now (presumably that effort would be focused on continued Dragon development rather than a sensor that's as mature as MX)?

 

[David Battistella]

I am curious about file Sizes compared to 5k. Does the dragon pixel size make the file sizes smaller? Can you shoot higher compression ratios with cleaner results?
