  • 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...

I am almost certain the pricing will not follow percentage of the camera price. It will likely be 5,000.00 or what every the Epic upgrade is plus what ever the cost of the ASICs will be. Bringing Scarlet up to Epic specs would also be very expensive because they would likely have to change even more internal hardware. We can hope for the cost to be less and specs to be higher but wishing for the unattainable will only lead to disappointment.

Agreed. I'd love to get the FOV of the Epic 5K MX at 24fps (Whatever K that is with the new sensor), and 48fps at 4k, 96 at 3k and 120fps at 2k with the lower noise, dynamic range and other inherent benefits of the Dragon Sensor.

My dream is for the soon to be released DRAGON sensor to have at least 8 stops of highlight latitude
when exposed at ISO 800, or in other words, shooting at ISO 800 on the Epic with the DRAGON sensor
will yield at least 8 stops between middle gray and white clip.

So if the DRAGON sensor has 15+ stops of DR, then I would love for this distribution to be 8 stops over middle gray and
7 stops under middle gray when the sensor is exposed at ISO 800.

And since this is a dream, perhaps 8 stops over middle gray at ISO 200 would be even better.

Either way, I can't wait to have my Epic upgraded with a DRAGON.
 
but.....

but.....

But... at the end.. . how is it possible to get the uphrade?
Is it by EPIC serial numbe? Do we have to wait for an email..?
We are hoping for more and more informations!!!

A 6K sensor with a lower noise floor and higher dynamic range is going to create BEAUTIFUL 4K renders!! I can't wait to get my hands on this sensor.

Downscale - secret to picture clarity :))) What if some one figure out how to downscale like top-notch DSLR 36Mpix in real time?

It will be based on cash submitted .... first come first served. Maybe the "Epic-M" guys will have a slight advance window ... that would be nice. Maybe e-mail will be sent in serial number order ... But ultimately they will ship on the basis of who sends in the money first.
 
It would be cool if the Dragon was shaped like a cross or just big enough (vertically), giving full Super-35 anamorph image circle!

It's allowed to dream...
 
Just wondering if the deal whereby purchasers of an Epic package totalling $50,000 or more get the upgrade free applies if you're not the original owner? I know someone selling an Epic M Collection, so that's above the $50,000 level, just want to know if I bought it I'd qualify for the free upgrade?

Not unless they purchased the camera originally after that deal was announced at NAB.
 
Could we get an option on with the Red Epic Dragon to simply shoot Super-35? 15.8mm x 24,89mm. It would be nice not having to worry about image circles of different lenses. The rest of the sensor area could provide an overscan view in the EVF. I guess it would please a lot of DoP's.

This is already an option. You do not need to use the whole sensor, you can scale down resolution to whatever res you desire, and you can use the rest of the resolution for look around.

correct.. you can just window to whatever is closest to where you want to be.. then use custom frame guides to dial it in.
