  • 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 :)

Red epic pics @ ibc 2009

I see that heat management has been beefed up. As for the bump topside, I doubt it will create a problem. Or, hang it upside down and invert the footage. Board stack heat allowance maybe?

Dont want to troll or anything please don´t take it wrong. I really like that there is any progress as in real pictures and systems with an actual sensor inside (I guess the hardest part about the whole package) but there are only Epics at IBC right? No sign of any flavour of scarlet anywhere? Did I miss something anywhere about them? Just curious as I am waiting for a Scarlet S35 (and I can wait longer if it gets done right in the end).

Hi Falk, from what I can tell the main difference between the Epic and Scarlet is in the ASICs and they aren't ready yet and aren't at IBC.

My guess is the only difference between what Jim and Jarred have at IBC and the Scarlet is that the Scarlet casing is supposed to be slightly smaller.

All of those modules will work with Scarlet as well.
 
Thanks Justin. The ASICS part makes sense.

Another thing I noticed on the pictures is all these holes in the body - none of which where present in the rendering - as others noted that is probably for heat flow. I am a tiny bit concerned about dirt, dust and water spilling in there. I liked the idea of a pretty tight rugged box - now its more like a fragile laptop where on drop of water in the wrong place can cause extreme havoc or too much dust and it finds it way to the sensor!?
 
Are you serious?

Are you serious?

Not to be rude, but does anyone out there think that the Red Team would build a camera that easily allowed dirt, dust, water or anything else to get in? Really?

I know there are plenty of haters out there but let's not go down FUD road with the Epic before its even released.

Cheers- #19
 
Do I assume correctly that one can rotate the grip and lock it in like an
eng lens? maybe?

The RED One has heat vents as well and we've used it in dusty and wet environments without any problems. The way RED designs it there aren't circuit boards right behind those vents, all of the fragile parts are well protected. I expect the DSMC will be the same.
 
I'm getting as excited about Epic now as I was right before I got my RED One. I can almost taste the FF35 6K...and yes I know its not up for a while. But still it will be here before you know it.
 
Is any one noting all of the photos and putting them in one thread?
These photos look stunning? Yes, Thanks for sharing!
 
Jannard Vision

Jannard Vision

Wouter Verberkt nice first post. Thanks for the picts.

Just a tangent: I think Jannard has so much vision. I remember the community reaction when he announced the new format of Epic and Scarlet. The room went silent for a moment. Reactions were mixed.

Fast forward 2009. Today is the first tangible look/see at the new EPIC. The pleasing smiles have returned, faith has been restored. Just goes go to show that Jannard has VISION. Without vision, the effort is just pedestrian. The pedestrian awards this year will have to go to Canon and Panasonic. Decent offerings, but pedestrian.

Faith is the belief in the unseen. Just tipping my hat AGAIN to Jannard and Team for inspiring work. Despite the lackluster economy, we have gotten alot of gifts from Red this year, outstaning glass, improved workflow, better color science, new camera builds. Your efforts are truly appreciated. (ie. satisfied customer)
