NAB 2014 - SCARLET DRAGON

[TD Wood]

OK sorry guys.. I can see now why people are sideways as my specs didn't line up last night.

Quick post so you guys don't jump off the bridge but RED.COM will have the proper updated specs shortly.

The charts get bit confusing now with the new Burst modes in different formats and the Broadcast options but this is a good guide below.

My apologies... I fucked that one up. The specs did change on the max compression ratios, more to come later.

Scarlet Dragon

6K FF: 12 fps
5K FF: 48
4K FF: 60
3K FF: 75
2K FF: 120


5K 2.4:1: 60
4K 2.4:1: 75
3K 2.4:1: 100
2K 2.4:1: 150

Many thanks for the clarification, jarred

 

[Patrick Grossien]

Maybe do yourself a favour and upgrade the specs on your first post as well

 

[Sam Goldwater]

PHEW. Much better now...

Thanks Jarred. That was a close one... Pheeeeew!
Time to add some heart medication to the RED STORE - call it a RED PILL...

[Humberto Ramos]

I'm also very curious with Burst modes and the Broadcast options...

 

[Ryan Hamblin]

Sell your existing Scarlet, body-only, for $5k or so + shipping costs. Pay what you had saved up for the upgrade initially, $9500, to get a brand new body and clean clock.

Anyone else thinking that looks like a much better option now?

Absolutely. The pricing makes no sense to me really

 

[Chris Gurtlinger]

Cant wait to see what Burst Mode does at this point. Glad the specs are where they are for Scarlet Dragon, can't wait to get my hands on one.

WOW! This looks awesome! 5K FF in 48fps and 5K WS 60fps. I love that. I'm in.
Thanks for the update.

So given the price of the brand new Dragon Scarlet - the question for us in Dragon Upgrade line becomes...:

A. Upgrade as planned for $9.500 (no new camera warranty)
B. Buy new Dragon Scarlet for $14.500 (with new camera warranty) and keep the old one as a backup...

Hmmmm....

:banghead: Peter

Yeah, right now it looks as if trade-in instead of upgrade would be much nicer

Great to hear!

Or reduce the price of the upgrade - especially since we had to wait for full year now as compared to the almost instant swap to Epic for those who have chosen that path...

How can you get 4 channels of audio into that thing? It's pretty much a non-starter for me without that ability.

PRO-I/O to begin with...
But I can't remember last time the number of audio channels on a digital cinema camera was an decision make-or-break point...

Great idea, fixed. Headed the train off at the pass : )

And 6K WS? It could easily do 24fps.

 

[Solomon Nero]

This would be awesome!! What say you RED?

 

[Stephen Pruitt]

Ah, Peter. . .

. . . you would if you were responsible for the audio as well as the video.

[Doug Beatty]

No. Any which way you look at the math, you can't double frame rates by going wide screen. Judging by other resolutions, max would be 15fps at 6K WS, and there's no sense in that.

Let's not get too overzealous.
