EPIC frame rates...

[Jannard]

16:9 numbers are about 20% less. These numbers are for EPIC-M and EPIC-X... not EPIC-S. These are continuous recording numbers. Battery will be used up a bit quicker when shooting high speed (as expected).

Awesome. We will shoot a Docu about about a Mountainbike-Race in summer. Actionscenes with 360 Frames? Awesome....

Thanks Jim!

 

[Lee Saxon]

5K 16:9 is 96fps, isn't it? I'm guessing 4K, 3K, 2K 16:9 will drop by similar percentages?

 

[Robert Frank]

Any chance we can get 16x9 numbers?

IIRC 16x9 frame rates should be a bit lower.


I see Jim already answered.

 

[David Birdy]

Great frame rates... Red is setting the bar even higher once again!!

Just for reference, these are the frame rate specs for EPIC (all shown widescreen except 720P).

5k 2.40 = 120
4k 2.40 = 150
3k 2.40 = 200
2k 2.40 = 300
720P = 360

Jim

Is 2K still windowed on the Epic or is it scaled down?

 

[Jannard]

Just updated the 1st post... QuadHD = 127fps.

[Alex MacLean]

Wow. That is truly awesome.

No hard and fast numbers of how much quicker, I take it. Maybe someone who has an Epic M can put a percentage estimate on it. It would be useful to know in order to order sufficient batteries.

If you've not had the pleasure yet to see good High Speed Epic Footage, you're in for a treat. Epic just keeps making me smile with all it's tricks and improvements. RED has really outdone themselves.

 

[Christian Munoz D]

Great!!

Jim, Approx. how many stops we will lose at higher frame rates?

 

[Jannard]

Great!!

Jim, Approx. how many stops we will lose at higher frame rates?

Doubling the frame rate is 1 stop light loss... unless you open the shutter. If you stay at a 180 degree shutter then 48fps is 1 stop, 96fps is 2 stops, etc. Same as any camera...

[brian hanson]

wow, amazing. I'll definitely make use of 2k @300 fps. can't wait to hear the final frame rate specs for Scarlet, fingers crossed for 180 fps burst.

 

[Mike Prevette]

Thanks for the quadHD numbers! This is going to be so great. Gone are the days of trying to explain to the director why we need to change the lens or the camera distance for an overcrank shot. Much less ending up at 58fps when people are asking for 60 just 'cause you don't want to drop the res that low.

What compression rate is this? media?

p.s. good luck at NAB

Perfect... Just checking thanks!

 

[Jeremy Hughes]

How does that 720p 360fps work? Is that a sensor cropped further than is for 2K?

 

[Esmaeil Neisi]

Now we have a jack of all trade camera: SLR / Digital Cinema / High Speed camera
thanks red guys

 

[PatrickW]

So if I rip off the air cooling heatsink (heatpipe as well?), and put a waterblook on, is there the ability to overclock these cameras and increase the bandwidth/processing to push the already amazing rates?

Can you overclock an Epic?

 

[Evin Grant]

What compression are those numbers at?

Or as Mike Seymour said in fxguidetv #106: "The Epic is probably the best camera that has ever been made."
