No to PsF, i.e. yes to 1080P at 23.98 and 25.00 and 29.97

Care to elaborate why?

I for one thought your previous decision to only support P on the Red One was a simple mistake similar to Arri's initial mistake of going all PsF on the D20/21 all the way to 60 frames/sec.

After all the main purpose of the HD-SDI is to interface with equipment from other manufacturers and most other manufacturers seems to standardize on PsF for 1080/23.98, 25 and 29.97, then P for 50P and 59.94P in 1080 or 720...

The SSD reader is one part of the RED STATION.. can be used by itself, or in the stack.

I NOW ABSOLUTELY CANT WAIT FOR SSD RECORDING.

Especially after Michael Cioni's excellent overview on WAVELET COMPRESSION at REDUCATION today.

I also finally figured out what Jim means by "Graeme's magic pixie dust"

Graeme is a world class MATHLETE! and his Super sophisticated algorithms are necessary for Wavelet compression and that is why REDCODE gets larger and larger as the compression is reduced... and why we need FASTER AND FASTER processing to decode the math.

MPEG is DEAD... LONG LIVE WAVELET COMPRESSION!

Hi Patrick, the 2k mode of the RED One gives us an approximation of what to expect from the 2/3" Scarlet. Here are some 2/3" TIFFs I shot on the RED One @2k:

The 2/3" 3k resolution and the quality of the miniRED primes means Scarlet stills should be considerably sharper.

Great! Thanks a bunch Justin. That really helps a lot in my guess work! :)

And as far as printing these goes... KenRockwell said (if anybody else is interested): http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm

Considering the pics Jarred took over the last year, the sharpness will be there. And I trust in RED mini primes ;) Maybe in time we'll get some fullsize pics from Jarred (again)... are you listening? ;)

/p

Is it possible to control audio levels with REDMOTE ???
Can you make a headphone plug on the REDMOTE so one can hear the audio ???

Maybe the REDMOTE can be a simple audio mixer(controler)... That would be a great feature...

I second that, please make it PsF compatible...:001_unsure:

please never refer to Ken Rockwell again ;)
 
wondering if there is an official list of all the lens mounts that will be available on the scarlet? Please excuse this if it has been covered.

If I'm not mistaken, Lens Mount options posted for Scarlet so far are:

PL
RED (Electronic) (miniRED Primes, etc.)
Canon (Electronic)
Nikon (Electronic)
 
HD-SDI output

Of course. And our HD-SDI outputs are designed to the SMPTE specs.

most other manufacturers seems to standardize on PsF for 1080/23.98, 25 and 29.97

I think you will find that many manufacturers will accept either version of the format - P or PsF - that the SMPTE spec defines.
 
So since the Mini Primes are full manual, will there be any benefit to using a REDmote Pro with them? Can you use an adapter ring with the Pro's Follow Focus to control different aspects of the lenses? That Mini Prime set with the Interchangable Brain sounds like a killer combo, but I'd also like the touchscreen focus benefits (facial tracking, trackpoints, etc.).

Just wondering what the setup would be for using the touchscreen focus with the Mini Primes, if that even applies.
 
All I can say is wow. Absolutely blown away. I know I wont be getting one for a while... but still blown away.

Any words from the RED team if a B4 mount will be an option?

There are an unlimited number of lens mount options for EPIC and Scarlet. Not all are electronically controlled. RED will offer quite a few and third parties will undoubtedly offer the rest. We'll list the RED offered options over time. We just aren't there yet.
