  • 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 :)

Dragon....

Will you guys ever sell the Scarlet Dragon as a new camera, or is it upgrade only for existing Scarlet owners? I was trying to figure out what price point it might be if ever offered new? Or perhaps you never intend to offer it new at all and that is why its not on the site? Some closure on this would be really sweet! Cuz I might want to upgrade to Epic and still buy a Scarlet Dragon, but its hard to know which path to go for without knowing what buying it new is price wise? Thanks!!!

Not 100% but fairly sure that the Scarlet-D is an upgrade only affair.
 
Jarred how would you characterize the improvements in color generated by the Dragon? As well as the new OLPF? Smooth, subtle, edgy?
 
This may be a dumb question, so I apologize. With the new color science, does that mean that it will be something like redgamma dragon 1 or something? Will we still be able to use red gamma 3? I'm just wondering if adobe will be able to implement the new color fast enough into premiere. If there isn't an older gamma curve available, we would have to use redcinex to export all of the files and not be able to use the premeire raw workflow then , correct? I'm just trying to get ready for any workflow work arounds for me since I think I'm pretty high on the scarlet dragon list. If upgrades actually do happen in the end of sept, that couldn't be more perfect timing for me. Usually I'm not a lucky dude. Thanks for everyone's work on this. It's pretty exciting.
 
re: the references to changing ASA - Does this mean ISO is no longer meta-data? ie - are we now actually adjusting the sensor's light sensitivity / changing how the image is exposed? My guess is yes based on the description, but just wanted to make sure I understood correctly.

No. That is just the nature and power of RAW. The ISO is not baked in. It is still just metadata. Before, Red recommended shooting at 800. What I'm gathering is that there is no longer a recommendation. Feel free to work between 200 and 2000, depending on environmental and artistic requirements.
 
That's great news.. any films lined up to shoot with the Dragon? Keep up the great work RED because you have made a shift in the world and everyone is trying to follow you now. Red is making the film standards now? WOW!!!!
 
Congratulations!

Will the trade-in option continue for a while?

Besides the current trade in, may I suggest to keep the trade-in available for Epics/Scarlets under warranty? ;o)

16 stops DR at 200 all the way to 2000 is a dream....and it totally blows my mind....and the laws of logic? But what do I care....can't wait to see some examples....and thanks for getting us the heads up about approximate shipping time.....helps to get the ducks in a row....
 
I'm naming my Dragon camera "Puff the Magic"...

Dragon Firmware is actually ahead of the Epic MX firmware.. rock solid. Since we have had so much time with the Dragon... it is probably the most tested build we have ever had.

Simply awesome.

Time to start digging around the sofa for spare change.

Will the old Rockets still debayer Dragon footage, but just at slower speeds?
