  • 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 :)

November 13th...

I speculate "Scarlet" will be a processor/ control block with a certain level of processing power. "Epic" will be a much more powerful and expensive processor. There will be a choice of optical blocks for both with options for sensor size and lens mount. A build it the way you want it approach. My suggested list of optical blocks for Scarlet would be:

1. 2/3" sensor with fixed lens as original Scarlet

2. 4/3" standard sensor and micro 4/3 standard bayonet mount for interchangeable lenses.

3. s35mm sensor with PL mount

4. Full frame 35mm sensor with choice of still camera lens mounts.

For Scarlet/ DSMC you would trade off high speed frame rates for larger sensor size. Up to 180fps on 2/3" down to 24fps or 30fps max on the full frame 35mm, unless you crop for higher frame rates like Red One does. For large sensor and high fps you will need Epic level processor.
 
So, that would mean Epic wouldn't matter to anyone shooting at 24 or 30fps, since they could get Scarlet/DSMC with a large sensor for probably 1/10th the price. Or, perhaps, the difference is just pixel count between Scarlet/DSMC with the larger sensors and Epic.

I'm not really buying all of that.
 
The difference is that Epic will be a 3D camera.

This has been the plan all along. Why do you think the Red One is called the Red "One"?

Although Epic owners will derisively refer to the Red One as "Cyclops." Get used to it.

Oh, and Scarlet will have only one dimension. There's no lens at all. You have to...well, it's complicated. Jim will explain it.

I will be posting info for both EPIC and Scarlet here on "locked threads"... which means you will be locked out from responding. It allows me to make several posts, with pictures, and provide info in an orderly fashion.

Please begin your discussions of our announcements on the EPIC forum or Scarletuser.

Info will also be posted on www.red.com.

Thanks for your patience and support.

How come Jim seems to post comments without his name popping out on Reduser forums?:)
 
Actually, no. But only because I will be 35,000 ft. in the air. But as soon as we land, I'll bust out my laptop and tune in for the announcement.

That's a certainty!

:)
 
Shirley, can we get another picture? pitcher, whatever. Something PLEASE!?!? I know your names not Shirley, .......Jim Pretty Please?:turned:
 
i've been reading this forum for a couple months now and i'm getting exponentially more obsessed as we get closer to 11.13.08... I'm RED-y for anything.

i'll be graduating from film school in june. been saving money to buy a scarlet. i turn 21 on the 25th. i think it'd be the perfect bday gift Jim... you don't even have to give me one free (but don't let me stop you), just don't make me wait!!!
