  • 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...

Would like a solid time frame on Epic Dragon so I can plan my underwater housing, lighting etc path. I thought the NAB timeline was by year end. With uncertainty I will probably go the Canon 1Dc route since the housing that fits my 1Dx will also fit that. ISO320 doesn't cut it at 60' under water or in caves lit by portables so I need to make a move soon for a project filming in February.

It wont be by feb so you are best to start thinking about your plan B. Sensors and the other bits needed to do the upgrade are on track to start coming out later next month as planned, but we need to wait for the new ASIC, which will be well into march, and then the upgrade process begins which will take some time. Realistically.. and its just a guess with so many balls in the air, you are probably looking around NAB time.

I would like to think that we are very good.. if not the very best, at missing every single one of our deadlines.

Post of the month...made me laugh out loud...
 
True Jarred, but IMO with Red its always been well worth the wait ;)

Good things come to those who are patient...
 
Will dragon be fully usable at launch time? In other words will all the features that we currently have on our Epic such as video an audio playback, HDMI and Sdi out etc... Be enabled on day one or we will have growing pains all over again with certain features due to new Asics?

LOL! No complains. My "deadline" is November. Its the 60th Anniversary of the Macau Grand Prix. It would be Epic if it was "Dragon Epic". This year I just captured absolutely stunning imagery on Epic. Didnt have time to colour correct it properly yet, but I will do a 4K montage of Grand Prix footage that looks ratter good- for next year's Red festival (as well as for some high profile TVC's, but those are not displayed in 4K...)

Thank you for the rough timeline.

A follow-up question would be when do you think we might see the first image(s) from a Dragon sensor? Will you show us before you have the new ASIC?

Next month we will show frames from Dragon :)
 
any clarification on the teaser/spoiler that the facts on the poster have been surpassed?
 
Can't wait to see the footage! I was a bit disappointed with the way scarlet was working but then I built a hackintosh and editing it was a dream. The footage really came to life ... such amazing colours! Anyways, bring on those two more stops of Dynamic Range!

just tell me is it above 14 stop?

If the MX sensor is 13+ stops, then according to what has already been conveyed
the Dragon sensor should have a least 15+ stops.
