Red Team: What is the status on the Scarlet S35?

[Sami S]

I say get both brains since the modules are interchangeable.

I've been thinking of doing exactly this. But arent many of the modules of the 2/3" integrated on the brain? The audio and the recording module at least right?

I was talking about the 2/3 cinema (with the miniprime mount).

No the fixed is just like any other brain except for the lens. Same features and connections. On board audio for all the brains is 2 balanced inputs w/phantom power on 1/8" TRS mini-jacks. The recording module you see in the pictures is the side CF module that mounts to any of them.

I do not think it will be slightly less sensitive unless Red is doing something amazing with the 2/3 sensor. I remain optimistic but expect the low light to be at least half that of the S35 chip. The 2/3 has a way smaller sensor area not to mention smaller pixels to up the resolution, both factors contribute to low light (but are not the only factors, I know). Expect it to be excellent in comparison to other 2/3 chips but it will not be in the league of S35. There will be areas where the 2/3 will be better than the S35, such as steadicam work, on cranes and car rigs and deep focus work, not to mention the ultra fast frame rate which I imagine will be very useful. There are too many tradeoffs with both system so honestly, I say get both brains since the modules are interchangeable.

Newest gen Sony 2/3" cameras are running in the 800 to 1600 native ISO range. I expect no more than a 1 to 1-1/2 stop difference between 2/3" and S35 Scarlets.

I think we'll get an update again at the Vegas RED DAY. Hoping hey show off a Tatoo and talk about the program a bit. That's the key right now. Getting step one done, so RED can move to step 2 and 3 and 4. With all the little things that go into this BIG system, once they get it all up and working from a module perspective, I am hoping the ramp up in scale will be easier.
