Many of you have received yours already, I just wanted to give you an update that the rest of you in backorder should be squared up by the end of July. After we catch up, there will be a production pause for 2 weeks at the start of August as we move around some machines and shipping for new orders will continue along the back-half of August.

The Pro-IO really turns EPIC into a whole new camera ( again ) ..... apart from the obvious EVF/LCD combo there is nothing like having a clean feed jumbotron 8.9" LCD on the top and a nice "little" 5.6" touchscreen on the side to handle all menus and independent exposure check etc. in it's own little world. O.. and having all the ports out the side instead of under the trunk has earned some cheers from AC's over the last couple weeks.

cool cheeseplate on the side of the mattebox. Looking forward to the bigger monitor!!
 
gotta get it.
 
Gotta have a few of those 8.9" LCD's. Such beautiful pieces.

By the way, kudos to you all for getting pretty much everything up to date and In-Stock.

We just bought another EPIC-M a few weeks ago and it was awesome to order a long list of stuff to see it show up so quickly. NO Backorder! It felt like ordering from B&H...it was so cool. Hehe
 
And thus a more "perfecter" camera was born. What DP or AC doesn't want this? What independent filmmaker doesn't want this? etc...

I agree that will be great... But Please allow us to have the option of foucs check mode (edge enhanced peaking like feature) on the big screen at the same time as having a menu free picture... Pretty please!!
 
GO EPIC GO ;) i love this Camera...

thanks Red TEam for update ;)
 
Jarred,

Really like what I am seeing here - Pro I/O will be added to my systems in the very near future.

I am curious about two design considerations (pls - no offense intended) plus one operational:

First design question: What drove the decision to have the second monitor tap on top instead of below?
FWIW, if it had been below, we would have been able to extend the cheese plate behind the tactical top... Very useful real estate up there.
(And another RED product in the store to buy!!!)

The next design question is inspired from this thread: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?82807-Pro-I-O-to-Vmount-adapter-plate
It appears that there are differing standards for the backs of modules - screw holes are beginning to migrate (much like my hairline).
Will RED settle on a common back so that items like the DSMC Backpack could be properly secured?


As far as the operational question:

The Pro I/O has both Genlock and Time Code connectors, but no trigger. If I am using the 3BNC to 00 Sync Cable, which will have priority?
In other words, will attaching the Pro I/O override the EPIC rear connector? We have duplication of GL and TC, but not trigger (unless the GPI can be configured to that function)

Thanks!
 
there go my savings...and that big monitor looks very nice
 
That's sweet! Got to get me some of that.
 
It's too bad the HDMI port didn't make it on the module too for wireless monitoring. But then again I'm sure Red are going to have a solution for that anyway. Now let's see the quad battery module slapped on the back!

Yes, there are RED ONE style GPIO trigger ports on the PRO I/O and you can set priority between "Brain" and "Rear Module" in the UI for the above functions.
 
With this module, the mighty Epic and Scarlet reinvent themselves! Too bad mine is currently en route to Houston, and my Epic and I are in NYC, DOH! So looking forward the added functionality! Oh and that 8.9" LCD is the second thing on my Christmas list, the first thing: Dragon!
