  • 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 :)

Sure, sure...but when you have people to kill and your only weapon is your Red One maybe you'll start to appreciate its durable superstructure and milspec ancillary systems. :ihih:

Waaaaait a minute, what exactly IS this RED "Gunner" rig? Modular HD & self-defense system? :laugh:

One of us needs to somehow write this into a script.

Well DSMC concept is about modularity. For now it concerns hardware. Why stop there?
How about using the same concept here - UI ?

There will always be different preferences because perceptions and tastes differ. I think group agreement on making something fixed in digital realm can and should be avoided - if feasible.

Maybe Redcine could have additional feature to rearrange camera UI based on what you need and how you need it. I suggest making MODES - for shooting mode (quick shooting presets at few taps on a touchscreen), camera menu mode (detailed/simplified) and UI mode (arrangement/zoom in preferences/fullscreen options).

These cameras will be used for many purposes and camera interface customization might enable them to become more practical. Also, that way any camera user can bring his/hers own shooting/camera setup on a card (or turn it on wirelessly from a laptop) and start using any other camera as own.

I strongly suggest enabling this if it's "reasonably" possible from manufacturer POV.

UI modularity would be great, specially with a quick-and-dirty app to make profiles on the computer.

Just make a profile, load to the card (is there a card slot in Scarlet/Epic? Anyway, Wi-fi it) and load on camera.

I think it has already been mentioned that the little tab on the left was for UI options. Not sure you can rearrange, but certainly you can turn portions on and off when you need to.

If it's not cumbersome to make it on camera, It would be awesome.

I didn't see anyone confirming that the tab was for it, I guess the tab is a general menu, but within the general menu there must be something for this.

I can already foresee a sub-forum for "Touchscreen Custom Skins" - user-submitted GUI's

Great idea. Ideas and comments are welcome.

And to the question: can you create and save custom layouts?.....

Yes.

Why put something in the look around area? The look around should enable you to see stuff.

Agreed... I think the Look Around Area should be kept clear, if possible.

Has anyone found out, or even hypothesized if the new 27" i7 iMac can handle Scarlet footage.

I ask because I'm seriously considering subsidizing the purchase of my Scarlet by downgrading my MacPro to the iMac.

Not ideal but would enable me to get the Scarlet and still be able to somewhat handle the RED footage.

Anyone know, or am I in limbo?

Well, I hope so. Ordered mine a Week ago... But i really think that there should be no problem.

Hi Jim, Jarred, and Red Team...

I would like to use the Scarlet S35 with 1.6X crop factor zooms from Nikon, like the Nikon AF 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX, which is a very good and versatile zoom, with minimal breathing and really sharp. (It´s the best inexpensive zoom I know) It should be like shooting at 3K cropping the 5K sensor.... It´s going to be possible to crop the Scarlet S35 sensor?

Thanks,

Juan

Hi Juan, Nikon's DX format is very close in size to APS-C which is very close to S35 so there will be almost no crop factor using that lens on the S35 Scarlet.

The Nikon DX format is 23.7mm x 15.7mm while the S35 Scarlet is ~ 30mm x 15mm.

The S35 Scarlet has three crop options that we know of: 4k, quad HD and 2k.

Yes, when docked to the back of the camera (or module stack), it disables its wireless transmitter and becomes a direct communication device.

Stuart is it then possible to have a hard wire between the camera and redmote? Would be very helpful for underwater work as RF doesn't go through water well. It would be nice to have it outside the housing in a separate box with hardwire into housing and camera.

The 27" should be able to handle it, maybe not in real time but if its full specced it should be able to pull off 2k I think. As far as I know, transcoding maybe a small length of time but at the end of the day looking at how people have pulled off some stuff even off the Macbook Pro which has less specs then the current iMac. It should be able to do Scarlet without a problem.

I might even get one after they update all the chips next octoberish :biggrin:


as far as the announcement goes...

Guys at RED. Hats off, drinks all around and a bottle of whatever you want. I've never been so satisfied with a camera nor had the belief I could be even more satisfied and brought into buying more cameras!! Definitely looking to get a scarlet and epic. Given those prices even maybe the RED Mini Primes! Just wish there was a RED Mini Zoom available on launch too...but hey...who knows..you guys might surprise xD

I'm sure that something could be worked out. But it's not something that's planned for initial release.

We know that a module can be moved off-body via cable, so theoretically couldn't you just have one of the smaller modules (like CF or SSD) tethered and clip the REDmote to the back? Stuart?

Well it's an underwater issue, so the most appropriate answer to remote camera control may be found elsewhere.
 
I have been keeping up with all of the info as diligently as I can, but it is a little difficult, so forgive me if this has already been asked.

I was wondering if the RedMote's specific wireless connection would ever be opened up in an SDK? The reason why I ask is that it would be awesome to be able to control not only the zoom, iris, and aperture wirelessly with the RedMote, but convergence on a custom rig you could build.

There is huge unexplored territory in the fields of stereoscopic cinema and computer vision, and the RedMote would be a wonderful tool if we could have 3rd party access to it, especially in regards to fly0-by-wire and the fixed Scarlet. :}

The same things you can control from REDmote can also be controlled over wifi or gige with a simple protocol.

Wel, there IS a crop factor compared to 35mm ('FF35').

DX lenses are made smaller (don't cover 'FF35') to save money, but they're still NAMED in FF35 terms (not sure why Nikon did this!!).

In other words, even though it doesn't cover 'FF35,' the 17-55 has the same ~1.52x crop factor on DX cameras as all 'FF35' lenses.

So the 17-55 on a DX camera is about equivalent to a 26-84 on a FF35 camera.

However, you're right in that between a DX camera and an S35 camera there will be little difference.

HOWEVER, since Red S35 is slightly larger than Nikon DX, I'm not sure DX-format lenses will cover it.
 
My GUI suggestion is something you guys have probably already thought of, but just in case : the ability to change the fonts on that top bar.

Those big huge boxes are great for a 2.8" screen but are wasted real estate on bigger screens.

In fact, I'd like to be able to hide that bar altogether for a bigger image preview. The only time I need to see that info is when I'm setting/changing it.

I know shrinking or removing that bar would change the aspect ratio and reduce "look-around" but I don't need that either. And if you do, just don't use my option :)
