  • 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 :)

R1 to M-X upgrade announcement?

I second David's question.

I don't know, maybe you slipped this other very encouraging post, posted few hours after the previous one:

R1 owners get first crack..
Our Brian F. has put together quite an impressive infrastructure to handle the upgrades.. We are actually getting quite efficient at the logistical side of these upgrade programs.

Which thread was this in Paolo?

PS: I'm glad it's in a small thread like this now. You'd think this was sort of an important announcement.
 
I think that many RED owners are also interested in the details of this announcement.

LIKE:

1. How it will affect EPIC upgrade?
2. What exactly is the UPGRADE option?

There is no context to the announcement.

I believe that the #1 has already been answered (It won't!).
I also think that the upgrade options are the same for R1 owners who upgrade their sensors to MX as for the ones who don't.

I can't provide a link, speaking from memory, so don't quote me. ;)
 
Hmmm, we've been thinking about upgrading whilst waiting for the new cameras. Presumably the upgrade cost is lost if you ultimately go for the trade-in? Guess it all depends on when the EPICs are likely to ship.

Maybe they will at least allow credit on a sliding scale... i.e., upgrade your RED 1 when it becomes available, then each month between that time and the time you become Epic Eligible the depreciation takes place. If you do not exercise the Epic Option, then depreciation is 100%. They've said they are getting very good at the logistics in re camera owners and should be able to keep up with this fairly easily.

The vagueness has always been there and I think it is what allows them to make decisions at the last minute. Hopefully it will allow them to address this upgrade issue in a way that achieves a good balance between customer wants and company needs.

Wasn't being literal. OBTW, maybe it's not a good idea to use a Gatorade bottle. You might pick it up and drink it by mistake. Depending on the flavor, they do look alike.:ohmy:

oh, and since when is Dupont Plastics a deity?:confused1:

Obviously, a timeline is a pretty important part of this equation. When does the upgrade program begin? When is Epic-X shipping? When is Scarlet S35 shipping? These are the relevant variables as far as I can tell.

But, oh, man, I am excited by M-X!
