  • 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 :)

Redmote app on ipad to control epic/scarlet?

Camera interface

Camera interface

I'm assuming that any iPod/iPad/iPhone app will use the camera's wifi connection for a direct connection, rather than the phone company's network. If not, the lag in response times is going to make the thing useless. Not to mention the abysmal reliability of the ATT network. If we have ti reeky on that, the app would be worse than useless.

David,

Never thought that 3G would be considered for connection to the camera. You are correct - it lacks the reliability that we demand from our equipment - for many reasons besides the two you mention. On top of that, could you imagine paying AT&T just to use the interface? Ack!

The 3G is only good as an internet connection when WiFi is not available, or if you want an extra GPS.

Whether RED chooses WiFi or Bluetooth as the interface with the camera, I'm sure that they are going to test it to death and beyond before staking their reputation on it.

Bump... We just received our Epics but as the Redmotes are pending delivery, (RED are/ were out of stock), the software would really get us up and running.
Thank you for any information.

So Jarred mentioned the iPad/iPhone controller app was in development two years ago (May 2010) and Ted showed a working prototype at NAB 2011. Any news on this? I could really use it!
 
OK

I understand that this a resurrection of a very old thread and that the iPad app for some reason isn't let out yet, but whoa!

THIS is how I want it to work!
 
I realize the iPad control app could cut into RedMote sales, but I still hope they release it and I would be happy to pay for it. I totally forgot to ask about it at NAB, and I'm wondering if anyone else got any word about it?
 
Either charge for the ipad app or free download with redmote purchase

I sincerely hope that Red will make good on what should be a pretty simple iOS product to develop.

If I am wrong about that and there is some non-economic reason
why this app has not arrived after 2+ years I am ok with that too.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. If Red would simply inform us as to what is going on I am sure
that we would all feel a lot better.

If they need to make profit off of accessories in order to offer us low DSMC Brain prices, then offer the app bundled with the redmote accessory. Or charge money for the app.
If it is a technical issue, then simply tell us what it is and whether you are continuing to work on it or if its a dead project. Please just give us some updates.

Thanks.
 
Agree, gopro 3 nailed it, so the tech exists and quite simple probably. Please implement it!
 
Its in the Meizler right now, well at least the Ipad app is. The units that are out in the wild are using it already. The iphone app is still being wrapped up.
 
found this comment on NoFilmSchool and thought it reflected my sentiments exactly.

This meizler module looks pretty amazing. The Meizler Module is prohibitively expensive for most Scarlet users....As I understand it, the Epic and Scarlet already include wifi – it’s what’s used to connect to the redmote, albeit with a modified protocol. It’s a pity that it can’t be co-opted to work with ipad app directly for those of us with shallower pockets.

I believe the demo Ted did @ NAB 2011 was using the wifi embedded in the Epic. Perhaps i am mistaken. Can we please get clarification if the iPad app will be compatible with built in wifi on the epic and scarlet in the near future. I am sure you tire of the scarlet owners needs for lower cost solutions than our Hollywood budget sized peers. We do not want the whole enchilada but a few small things would benefit us greatly. As stated in the above comment by another user "GoPro" was able to Master wifi control for low cost. I bet with their engineering prowess Red can help a brother out. Thanks for the consideration.
