  • 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 :)

EPIC frame rates...

One thing to know is that we are not sandbagging these numbers. There is no way to get 5K full frame at 120fps for example.

Jim
 
With Epic -S having, as previously stated, roughly half the data throughput of an Epic-X or M this means a small but significant step up from the Red one in terms of frame rates (especially at higher resolutions), which given the pricing and other amazing benefits of the DSMC system like HDRx and 5K, form factor, interface etc. is pretty compelling.

Epic-S calculated approximate 16:9 framerates based on 50% of Epic -X & M data throughput (I work mostly on commercials so this is the most relevant aspect ratio to me)
5K @ 48fps
4K @ 60fps
3K @ 80fps
2K @ 120fps

at 2.4:!

5K @ 60fps
4K @ 75fps
3K @ 100fps
2K @ 150fps

pretty sweet and possibly enough for a most situations - unless of course you use HDRx then half it again. Which makes me wonder... Will Epic -S be able to do 25fps HDRx in 5K 16:9 mode? I sure hope so! (as does every other person living in a 50Hz country!) ;-)

I asked this question a few months ago and Jim replied that yes 5k 25fps 16:9 with HDRx is going to be on the Epic-S. If not that would be a major reason not to buy an Epic-S in Europe. So the specs are supposedly a little higher than 1/2 Epic

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

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

360 FPS !!!!!!!!
BAD ASS!!!!

I so missed this thread,

I was in HK shooting 24 hours ago on the REDONE, 300 FPS would have saved my arse!
So Jim, When does the new update come out for these wonderful numbers.
 
I had a look through this thread but couldn't find whether these rates are for CROPPED sensor or SCALED.

I am assuming it is for cropped. Anybody?

It will be for cropped. Scaling would introduce additional processing which would take away from the max frame rate.

That's the way it has always worked for higher frame rates on the RED ONE :)

I think this is right, it must be a cropped, according to how the presented frame rates lead to a common line speed maximum. See here:

http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?57541-EPIC-frame-rates...&p=750270&viewfull=1#post750270

While its technically possible to do line skipping on some sensors (we all know RED hates line skipping, aren't we?) the only option would be to pre-build a downscale into the sensor. That would mean you had to predict all required resolution variants at the time of design, and such a downscale would be never free of aliasing.

Hey Jim could you give us some idea on how those numbers will translate to the Scarlet Fixed?

I am keeping in mind that the Scarlets brain isn't as strong as the Epics for obvious reasons but will we get similar numbers?

Like for example:

3k - 120
2k - 200?
720 - 250?

We want some FPS lovin' too! haha
 
Wow - this just gets better. Oh brother - I have some music vids to shoot this summer and these high frame rates would be heaven. please - please - please release release release...he he he:w00t:
