PRO IO

[Kwan Khan]

Just Ordered

 

[FredrikL]

Are there two XLR - inputs on the PRO IO - not four? What are the possibilities for recording 4 channels of sound like we did on the REDONE? I thought for sure I had read it would be 4 sound - inputs - like on the REDONE...

Use the two channels on the EPIC.

 

[FredrikL]

Thanks Andrea,

Are the two jack - inputs on the EPIC phantom - powered?

2 ordered

 

[Mike Halper]

Pro I/O Module is $3750
Pro Battery Module (Dual) is $1450

Understood, but we were told we'd have at least 2 weeks to order at the previously mentioned price.

 

[Greg M]

Does that look like the old Red One lemo for TC and GPI?

does this mean GPI trigger power is now internal and old style trigger works?

 

[Adam Howden]

Yup, ordered!

 

[Curran Giddens]

I could only afford to order one of these for now. So many new items in the store Not sure yet how I feel about the EVF/LCD port on the top...

Correct, but we were all under impression that the pre-order price is $2950 and $1250 before the modules ship and exactly what you posted afterwards. At the moment there is no option to select the pre-order prices in the online store.

Please see this post from Jarred: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showth...e-Adjustment-reminder-(-and-some-extensions-)


Could you please clarify.

Not sure yet how I feel about the EVF/LCD port on the top...

Would have been nice to add a cheese plate to the top of this module and now we can't. Might just go with the +1 Module Adapter.

The accessory manufacturers made top plates for the brain that have a cut-out for the antenna...don't see why they couldn't make one with a hole for the monitor port. But if all you need is an extra monitor port, the +1 adaptor is probably more efficient in both cost and size anyway...

Yup. That is why I'm not worried about it. The +1 is an absolute must have and will stay installed on the camera anyway.

By the looks of it in the picture there's no threads on the top to mount a plate on it.

 

[Kevin Marshall]

Looks like the same ones as the Battery module:

 

[Mike Halper]

Those are threads? I thought it was some kind of electronic interface. Anyone see it at NAB and can confirm? Even if it is, it would be odd to have a lemo connector sticking out of the middle with or without a cheese plate. Peculiar design.

 

[Thomas Koba]

There will be phantom, right?

And there will be an extra EVF/LCD output, right?
*EDIT* Yes there will be! https://vimeo.com/40469962

Peculiar, indeed. Putting a port on top is not something I would have thought to do - but it dates back to some the earliest Epic/Scarlet renderings (there was once one shown directly on top of the brain, even)...so I guess Red think it's a good idea.

 

[Jeff Brown]

Loving the announcements - lots to buy..

But please from a practacal procduction point of view take a look at why Mr Meizler has all connections tapered/angled back from the camera on his module.

All I can see with this module at the moment is a doubling of width (how big are XLR connectors....?) and many many broken cables....

Simple but vital - i hope there's time to look at that.......

 

[Greg M]

A- looks like the same TC connector on Red One- will Red One TC cables work?
B- looks like same power/gpi as Red One- will Preston Red One cables work here to power motor + start/stop on this single lemo?
What is Aux?

EDIT:
Jarred answered this in another thread:
Timecode :
Connector: EAG.0B.305.CLN
1. Camera Ground
2. Time code Input – SMPTE single-ended
3. Time code Input – SMPTE double ended
4. 48.00 KHz Word Clock Output
5. Time code Output


GPIO :

Connector: EAG.0B.304.CLN
1. Camera Ground
2. GPI A
3 GPO A
4. V Batt +

AUX POWER :

Connector: EAG.0B.304.CLN
1. Camera Ground
2. Not used.
3. Not used
4. V Batt +

Which means all our Red One TC, Preston and VF Start/Stop cables should now work on Epic. Very good news indeed.
