Open Q to RED: Difference between epic s35 and scarlet 35 ?

[Cüneyt Kaya]

Hi Red,
right now we have so many choices, 1st thanks for the options.

now just to clarify.

what is the difference between epic x and scarlet s35?

-framerates, desqueeze of ana, frame overlay, new redcodes (what does this mean exactly, i guess bitrate or special algorythms for greenscreen for example)

are there more points where the two seperate?

for me its very important to get a little clarification before i decide to do stage 2 or 3, MX Upgrade etc. ...and i guess a lot of current R1 owners want to know a little bit too...i dont expect exact spech sheets...maybe more of a road map

thanks

this is what i think, but this is only a guess...

obviously mainly the framerates seperate epic s35 and scarlet s35, but there is
more...one example is that scarlet cant dequeeze ana shoots, and different redcodes will be available on epic, maybe some special ones (greenscreen f.e), but yet to confirmed what that exactly means, and frame overlay, and i guess over the curse of builds features will be added to epic, like little things that make life much easier, for example different luts for the several monitoring options, more exposure tools, mainly all the red one stuff ( custom framguides for example) plus many more we dont know yet...i guess scarlet will get a set of features and always will be behind epic relating features and builds, simple reason: the brain will not have the same power as the epic one....


just think of a build 8 R1 and a Build 21 R1...here you see that these are two completly different cameras, though both share the same hardware...now imagine that difference between epic and scarlet...i am trying to understand the difference of 20k

Mostly framerates. Epic will support higher framerates at full resolution.

Mostly framerates. Epic will support higher framerates at full resolution.

I think also higher REDCODE data-rates.

 

[Jaime Vallés]

I think also higher REDCODE data-rates.

Unless something's changed, I think the higher data rates only apply to the higher framerates.

 

[Alexander Christ]

Beside framerates higher data rates would be helpful in still mode.

ASIC spin going to determine all of these answers imho... i know we are all eager for an update... I think Jim has made it CRYSTAL clear he wants to ship and give details as badly as we want them...

Jim's a better man than me - if I'm privvy to some of the information that he's holding back (for good reasons I'm sure).. I'd be posting it on the net just to boast! :biggrin5:
