  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Questions... answers.

In keeping with my absurd desire to have you guys design a camera at the same time for a parallel market, (Studio), will there be anyway to have servo zoom and focus controls mounted on a tripod for lenses that have zoom motors?

The REDmote and REDmote PRO ( as well as the Side Handle etc. ) will be able to control motors inside lenses such as Canon, Nikon, Fuji, etc... provided of course you have the accompanied electronic lens mount on the EPIC/Scarlet.
 
By the past i show picture of EPIC with some kind of rifle bipod. Is there a way to adapt somme military stuff on the future EPIC and SCARLET like bipod handle... This kind of gear seems to be cheap and useful.

On a recent project we shot a scene with enough detail/contrast to apparently overwhelm the data path of an MX R1. Any info on approximately how much more bandwidth Epic will have than R1 (it's obvsiously much more based on it's recording specs). The engineer in me would love some detailed info for reassurance that such an issue isn't present in epic.

The difference between REDCODE 42 and REDCODE 250. 24fps is about 2.5:1 compression. Mathematically lossless.

Scarlet (likely) to actually happen in 2010? YES! No questions for me then. Hope non Red One owners can have one this year as well!
thanks for doing the Q&A Jim (and the Red Team members)
 
A FF sensor would be nice with the RED pro anamorphics. How is the Monstro program moving along?

Hi Jim,

It might seem silly now to ask about the Monstro program, with all the headaches related to Epic-X and so on.

Still - is the Monstro program making normal progress? Will we see Epics/Scarlets with Monstro chips late this year/early next year?

Thanks!

Is there any reason all the new cool camera support gear has to wait for Epic to ship?

A lot of that would be killer with MX.

And thanks for the new FCP installer btw
 
Are EPIC modules and accessories on track so they will readily available when EPIC ships?

Now that's the real question ;)

lol...it's a trick question to get you guys to cough up some good stuff that no one knows about.

I actually think that you all taking the time to do this is pretty cool.

Much appreciated.
 
Hi Jim

Few questions:

Will the RED bricks still be available when Epic & Scarlet are out?
Can you tell us a bit more about the touch focus LCD? Do they work like the iPhone touch focus where you have to keep touching the screen to focus or will they be able to do focus tracking whilst keeping subjects in focus at all times?
You've said that EPICs are getting made in the US - whats your estimation of how many you will be able to produce per month?

Thanks and keep up the great work!

* What sort of compression will we have for stills on Epic-X?

* Will there be a dedicated stills file format? Or will it roll the stills we shoot into an R3D file? Either way is fine, but I see advantages to a dedicated stills format that could be directly supported by Lightroom, Aperture, Adobe Camera Raw, etc..

* Will Epic-X be able to do long-exposure shots? The 1s max exposure on the RED One is a huge limitation for astrophotography and many time-lapse applications where M-X is just screaming to be used.

1. REDcode

2. R3D will have a subset stills format but even more exciting is the 'DSMC' portion of the format.

3. Yes

I have no interest in ProRes personally, but there's been so much debate about it... at one point someone indicated that there was official word from Red that a ProRes proxy module would be released. Is this true?
Click to expand...

We have not announced anything ProRes for EPIC... although anything can happen. We need to get these cameras finished before we start fooling around with other stuff.

Speed reading- just to get in a question:)

Speed reading- just to get in a question:)

What's the main reason for getting a RED RAY/ RED 4K. I'm getting it regardless, I buy all you're products, but don't fully underderstand why I should buy one
 
Now that the firmware bug seems under control, what concerns you the most going forward?
