  • 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 :)

NAB13- Dragon Sensor Upgrade Program begins

A. Clint Litton said:
Warranty on Dragon sensor and upgraded parts is 90-days...not covered under Red Armor for Epic owners :( I really wish this wasn't the case!

Also saw something that mentioned the Dragon sensor and upgraded parts will be included for Scarlet owners (said it's factored into the upgrade price for them)...but now I can't seem to find where I read that...perhaps it's one of many things that are subject to change.

Will there be an option to buy a new Armor or upgrade Armor to cover Dragon? I know in CA we can cancel our Armor and get a pro-rated refund, but I'd rather have the Armor covering the whole camera. Otherwise it makes this entire upgrade a questionable course of action.

Anybody else notice that dragon can do 200fps at 4K?

12 and 16-bit RAW : Compression choices of 18:1 to 3:1

1-150 fps

on red website it's not written that:
REDCODE™ 12 and 16-bit RAW : Compression choices of 18:1 to 3:1
1-100 fps 6K
1-120 fps 5K, 4.5K
1-150 fps 4K
1-200 fps 3K
1-300 fps 2K

Not sure why the upgrade is $9500 for Epic-X upgrade.

As opposed to what? There have been several discussions initiated by RED, along the way, that said the original $6K upgrade would not hold. It became an issue of needing new ASICs along with the sensor.
 
Antoine Baumann said:
because today only Epic-X early adopters can order, and so the upgrade is $8500

Early RED ONE - not Epic.
Why would there be a difference between upgrading Epic-X vs Epic-M (if that is what you are implying)?
 
dragon upgrade only in US ?

dragon upgrade only in US ?

Anyone got the info about the DRAGON upgrades being done in the USA only or will there be a way to do it at RED UK down the line ?

Or at least will it be possible (they were able to do that for our lens repair recently) to send our camera to UK and have them manage the temporary export/reimport (UE->USA->UE )

Thanks in advance for the info...

Haven't heard anything yet but since our order is being handled by RED UK, I'm hopeful that they will handle the export/import process. Don't want to go through that nightmare again.

no i'm implying that today only early Red One adapters owning an Epic-X can upgrade to Dragon, so for us the upgrade is $8500, for Epic-M well there both early and not early.

I just ordered the upgrade and I'm not worry I will pay $8500 and not $9500 as the order says.

it says credited back,maybe you have to buy something from
store which is 1000$
 
hypothetically... say i purchase a new dragon off of the website... so... at this very moment I press purchase and magically pay for it with money i wish i had...... given the fact that i'm not an early adopter, nor a current red owner...

what is the ballpark waiting time I can expect to receive the dragon?... i know that this is all dependent on the early adopters getting in line...

i'm sure there are estimates.... let's assume that half of the early adopters plop their money down today... how long till a new one ships? if all the early adopters get in line?...

probably months just like in previous upgrades/releases but I'll let someone in the know answer for sure. But I'm just saying, don't expect anything less than months

That is not how it works... You are immediately credited for the $1K when you checkout at the RED store. Been through it a few times from my first RED One to my last Epic.

Thanks for the clarification Andrew..
So main question is WHO ARE THOSE LUCKY ONES gonna have UPGRADED cameras in NAB.apparently nobody from REDUSER
Click to expand...

No worries and have fun on that mountain in Iraq! I am on set in Chicago... :)

I don't know but I am going to hit up a few fellow TA's to see what's up! I am blown away that they are doing this on the floor at NAB... Absolutely genius compared to the Tattoo Parlor from last year. RED is making big strides, wish I was there!
 
Epic M - Dragon update ordered today at 11.16. Looking forward to it.
 
Let me add something very interesting to this thread:

I LOVE IT!
