  • 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 30th Announcement Feedback

I'm guessing that the UI image may be a mock-up. The histogram seems a little off and the RGB traffic signal is saying that the Red channel is peaking.

While we're at it, the red bar above the aperture, does that indicate which function is active for the ring on the fixed lens or the knob on the REDMOTE Pro (or whatever controller is being used)?

Yes and yes.

Thanks for the pic and explanation.

Out of curiosity, why not a RJ45 for GigE?

I thought the same thing. Yes, RJ45's are delicate and not really made for hundreds of insertion cycles, but at the same time they are the standard and you can rebuild them on set with simple tools. In my experience, the RJ45 jacks (female) are quite robust, it is just the plugs that are semi-disposable. There is something to be said for using cables you can buy at the local office supply store.

Having an expensive Lemo that connects to an RJ45 adaptor simply moves the problem further down the cable.

For example, has anyone here ever seen a Phantom camera that didn't have, somewhere in its mess of cables, an RJ45 coupler/adaptor to make it work? Now there's a cable kludge that does NOT handle the rigors of a typical film shoot. Help us get away from that, Red!

PS - I have already seen one facility that has plans for using the Ethernet file access capabilities of the new cameras in a unique way.
 
Hey, there's Jim. Hi Jim! Thanks for the clarification.

I was just being fanciful with the whole Beryllium thing. I had heard about the health risks Mr. Kilgroe pointed out. Apparently, even the people living in the vicinity of the Brush Wellman plant are at risk. I've just always been interested in metallurgy. Seriously though, if they start with forged Al, maybe one of the 7000 series alloys, and machine that, it ought to be quite rigid and strong but still light. Sorry you used to work at a risky nuclear site Mr. Kilgroe. I hope you are in a better, and more comfortable, job now.

Jim! Welcome back. We missed you.


Jarred's been filling us in, hope he didn't spill too many beans...

Jarred did such a good job in my absence that I'm going to share Recon with him from now on.

Hey Jim/Jarred-
The Scarlet pricing stuff mentioned both a $1500 1.8" SSD module, as well as a $200 SSD reader. Any insight as to what that reader is? Thanks.
And Jim, good call brining Jarred into the Recon ring. I've always thought it might be nice to have the both of you starting Recon threads. And Jarred, congrats on that :)
Peace,

-Harry

Some things just make sense. I thought it was fun when he was setting up the October 30th Feedback thread while you were warming up the Announcement thread. The rhythm of the tag team posting in the Announcement thread helped gel the community feel of the event. Made it more exciting, if that's possible!

The SSD reader is one part of the RED STATION.. can be used by itself, or in the stack.
 
Great looking stuff, the bleeding edge is RED!
Just some questions which I don't think were covered yet.

Will all 2/3" Cinema Scarlet brains come standard with PL mount or with a Mini RED mount? Or will we have a choice which is extra cost?

Will RED still allow qualified 3rd party "dumb" mounts for EPIC / Scarlet? i.e. no electronic mounts?

Thanks.
 
Jarred Land said:
Yes you can use it on Epic to pull focus on Canon/Nikon Lenses.

The knob is aprox. 2.5" in diameter, there are some similar sized knobs on the market and it feels really good in your hand. The white ring is replaceable.

The Battery on the Redmote should last an entire day. When it is on the back of the camera it charges itself as well.

So, in case I missed this (been looking everywhere over here);
is there any way to connect external motors directly to the epic without still needing another focuscontrol, but using the one on the redmote pro????

Jarred has stated previously that the 2/3" Cinema Scarlet brain comes with a mini PL mount. S35 Epic and Scarlet brains come with a dumb PL mount. Subject to change of course.

Jarred Land said:
yes.. Brains come with PL mount standard (at least for now)

All these anouncements are awesome, but I'm a bit lost on one point :

Given that the Scarlet now has so many high-end features that were initially only available on Epic, what are the differences between Epics and Scarlets now ?

There is a $21 000 price difference between a S35 Epic and a S35 Scarlet.

Are the higher frame rates and bitrates the only differences ?
120 fps at 3K on Scarlet (+ 150 fps burst), Redcode 100
160 fps at 3K on Epic, and 100 fps at 5K, Redcode 250 ?

Did I miss something ?

Nils,

Best not to put these specs together like this. They might realise what they are giving away with the Scarlet and rethink. You don't want to Ruinet for the rest of us do you? :wink5:
 
OK thanks. I read his posts, but was not sure if he meant the full size PL was standard, or the mini PL was standard on the 2/3" cinema. I guess it's mini, drat.

I edited my post, adding that I meant 3rd party dumb mounts for other lens mounts.
