EPIC missed spec...

[Michael Hastings]

I must be the only one fine with the RED One startup time....

Pretty much.

But ten seconds is fine. I'm more excited to hear that there are working prototypes!

 

[Brad Webb]

This ought to re-invigorate the people saying there needs to be a "stills only" brain.

That said for motion I think that's more than acceptable.

If you want a stills only brain buy a DSLR.

 

[Dave Barak]

Anything more than 9.865 seconds is a deal-breaker, sorry.

I'M KIDDING! :hurray:

 

[Raul Gonzo]

Any chance we might get a standby mode? That way after the initial boot up we can conserve some battery power but keep the camera ready?

 

[Gabriel Scindian]

I can live with that!

 

[Felix K.]

Exactly! Working prototypes! Do they have names?

 

[Ketch Rossi]

If all the bad news looked like this one.. I'm a very happy camper awaiting Epic. ;~)

 

[Chris Parker]

10 seconds. screw it then, i'm not buying!

ha. love it. can't wait to play with it.

 

[Jeff Butcher]

Will we get an image during bootup so we can frame up?

 

[Laco Zamba]

In an effort to get the bad news out as soon as we have it, it looks like we will likely miss (at least) one proposed spec on EPIC/Scarlet. The engineers tell me that a 2 second startup time is now not possible given all the changes/additions to the program. Our current prototypes are starting up in 15 seconds and we think a reasonable target for production cameras is about 10 seconds.

Oh, yes. Thats the reason why Jim yesterday was so excited that he couldn't sleep Working prototype.

 

[Shawn Nelson]

I hope they have working prototypes, but before all you non-engineers get happy, it's possible he's referring to bread board lab prototypes. Not trying to be pessimistic, just realistic. I hope we get a good look at NAB!

Jim, any thought on a suspend mode?

 

[Jonathan Stevenson]

Damn. What other company would be willing to admit they missed a target spec like this- before the product is even shipping? None.

Red, I salute you

 

[Minhsu Wang]

When shooting event photography, you might've missed the moment even if it's 5 seconds of waiting time. Good luck RED team. You can do it, nothing is impossible.

 

[Manuele Trullu]

10 sec is nothing.

 

[David Collard]

It took me ten minutes to get out of bed this morning.
I can live with 15 seconds any day.

 

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

Quicker for Scarlet?

 

[Cüneyt Kaya]

it took me more than 15 sec to write this post...hehe.
arent there hotswap battery modules anyway? if not, doesnt matter for me
i started to smoke between battery changes, was a good break, guess i cant do it with 15 sec.

 

[Mark L. Pederson]

Our current prototypes are starting up in 15 seconds

Jim

So .... in case everyone was stuck on the 15 second thing ... RED HAS PROTOTYPES CURRENTLY BOOTING!

A very good sign.

 

[Brook Willard]

We're all pretty good at keeping the cameras on for 6 hours... if 10 seconds is ever an issue, the worst it'll ever get is just going back to what we're used to already. Of all the specs to miss, this one doesn't hurt.

YAY!:hurray:
