  • 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..?

Will Epic/Scarlet have the ability to write proxy files so we can use programs like FCP to edit with without transcoding?

Are you guys still going to make a proxy module? Any plans for Pro-Res or other formats besides h264?

How does Dragon affect the plans for full frame sensor in the future?

Why did Jim post that cryptic message months ago about keeping your Red One?
 
Can you tell us if there is or will be any news regarding lenses. I am about to buy another set but would like to hold off if there is something around the corner.
 
Since you guys are making Aluminum mount and titanium mount still lenses for two price points, are you planning on making a stainless PL mount closer to the canon/nikon mount price point?
 
Huge nikon collection here...

Just wondering.. What are the main differences between the aluminum and titanium Nikon mounts aside from weight?
Thanks very much in advance.
Loving the new options.
 
Hi Jarred, I also wonder if quality will improve at 2K recording 300 fps?
But yeah, been using Epic for 2 months and enjoying every second of it :)
 
Thanks Jarred! Much appreciated, I'm so bummed I missed this year.

What I'm really super curious about is how high the ISO of Dragon can go without objectionable grain? On EpicX, it seems ISO4000 is kinda tops, if not 3200, depending on type of light. Then you compare to the c300 (a camera I dont like, but it bears mentioning) can be pushed to ISO20,000 and it looks ok. Any chance of that type of performance from Dragon? shit, I'd love a sensor I could crank to 32,000. I'm dying to shoot a wide angle under a full moon! (call me crazy)

Good thing i'm not at NAB, or I would have kissed you on the lips.

This is great news. Thanks
 
Any chance of Epic in camera Ana playback - please :)

... and other Ana modes in Epic (4Kana would be nice).
 
Our wireless video modules send video 1080p uncompressed... much better for recording and for devices that analyze the quality of the video feed ( i.e. 3D )

We are still tuning that right now... so can't give you an answer... Yet. :)

the Titnium Nikon mount is actually a bit heavier... but its 100 times stronger. you will see a difference when using heavier lenses.. less flex and distortion, and less back focus drift in extreme environments.
 
We love Blackmagic.. we been fans of them for years. It is nice to have another company in the game that is willing to shake things up and not follow the "rules" :)

There are two companies I truly respect one is RED and the other Blackmagic, I have brought Decklink products
for the last twelve years, they make products which have truly contributed to our business and growth.
Reasonably priced and game-changers in workflow. The first product I bought was the original Decklink HD for US999/-
an unheard of thing in 2000-2002.

Here is an article that covers the RED ONE camera and Decklink products.

Strange the two best announcement on RAW workflow and compact cameras are from
an American company and a Australian. One was expected but where are the answers to WHY.

This is where the 512GB Turbo cards come in... you will be able to record high frame rates with a smaller compression ratio.

Awesome! That's the only place I wish for more from my EpicX. If you guys could nail that, Dragon will rule them all!
