Picked up Epic-M on Monday

After reading this thread and the Scarlet page on RED website, I now understand that HDRx is only available up to 12 fps? Is this correct?

 

[Philipe Ratton]

6 in 5K, 12 in 4k, 25 in 3k.
Not to be rude but didn't you guys read the annoucement and tech specs and everything else ?

 

[Omar N]

Oh wow. No I did not, until just now. Last time I looked there was no information there. Thank you for the reminder.

 

[Lee Brandt]

Yeah sure ... at 12 frames per second.

What am I supposed to do with 12fps? Shoot the chase sequence in Slumdog for the rest of my life?

Per Jannard, there will be a free firmware upgrade soon that will enable hdrx at 24 fps.

Well, at least we can do hdrx in 3k at 24fps. That's not terrible.

Per Jannard there is the *intent* to *try* to *possibly* enable HDRx 4k @ 24p.

If it doesn't happen we shouldn't cry foul.

To add to that: he said something along the lines of a 'variant' of HDRx -- so possibly not quite the same as what is already available. Anyways, best to not look beyond what the camera is capable now -- and to not infer promises where there are none! In other words: what he said! ;-)

He said that?

For the Scarlet?

My God.

EDIT:

Ok its there in 3K mode and in 2K mode, so I guess the big hope is 4K which would be awesome but wouldn't HDRX in 4K mean more frames overall on all the Ks?

I'm assuming Magic HDR or that alternative to HDRX is another possibility for 4K with HDR?

 

[Gary Paul Walker]

I don't think that HDRx is going to be as often-used as people think - its a great tool, but I think you'd only use it in very particular situations, and the standard DR of the Scarlet, I think you could work around those situations.

Id be interested to see the pracitacl applications of a sustained 12fps in 5k - would be great for time-lapse, for sure
