  • 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 :)

Today... we tested EPIC dynamic range with the following test systems:

1. DSC DX1-102db v1 OSG chart

2. Stouffer chart

3. Arri DRTC

All tests show 13.5 stops or greater.

For those that missed my post on another thread... EPIC has a REDCODE mathematically lossless compression option (2.5:1) that records to onboard SSD module (not to CF).

Lots of good news going into NAB.

Awesome. Keep it coming!

Very curious about the coming SSD module/media.
 
Sounds great Jim. How does this compare to the current Red camera?
 
Would love to know more about the onboard SSD module too.. . kick ass... more reasons to be at NAB.
 
It's not just the overall DR though, it's the character of the noisefloor, the DR, and low noise throughout the range that makes M-X better.

Nicely done. I'm eager to see what new spec Aaton, Arri, et al decide to focus on to justify their respective price premiums.
 
Thanks, I assume you've finished recalibration and it's ready for it's debut. A lot of questions should be answered shortly but from what we've got so far you should make a HUGE splash. Knock em dead!
 
I am looking forward to the RED NAB news, I am really curious about the potential in the burst mode, as in how much can we expect to get out of Epic in a truly lightweight configuration (as I would love to work lightweight more than I do now.)

The news that Epic with it´s 5K sensor could still deliver reliable results as low as redcode 28, really makes me excited. ( I am sure it will be less than ideal in critical situations, but the option is great)

And the last thing I really really am excited about is whatever lightweight recording options you will offer us; larger/faster CF cards or SSD medium.

Can´t wait!

No, its the gorgeous effin images lit by a Macbook at 4000 ISO

really outdid yourselves here... matter of fact my colorist kept referring to it as GRAIN :)

well done!

@ Jim. 2.5: 1 ???!!!! HALLELUJAH im heading to the bar for HAPPY HOUR!

That's great, true lossless. Will we get this goodie on the 2/3"models? :001_rolleyes:

i'm guessing its part of the reason why the epic's cost is spectulativly so much more than a scarlet, but ofcourse that would just be another speculation;-)

Impressive- the MX is so amazing. I can't wait to see what the Epic bodies look like at NAB- very exciting times. :)

Excellent results! I'm looking forward to all the RED news from RED Day or sooner!
 
I don't know when to be more excited about. But today we have been shooting hand held so for safety we're using 16gb CF's...i've been reloading all day. The SSD sure sound good right now.
