  • 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 :)

Scarlet 4k Speculation

i dont think it'll be 4k as its clearly stated that scarlet will NOT compete with red. defeats the purpose dont it. 2k is plently
 
We have been committed to 4K from day one

Just to put some oil on the dying fire:)

Scarlet will not compete with the Red-sticky
 
all this specualtion is useless.
scarlet will be a pocket camera and record black at inifinite resolution and framerate therefore.

scnr.
 
If Scarlet were 4K it would compete with red one as much as a hv20 competes with an F900. A pocket camera because of it's very nature will never compete with a full size camera because each has their particular uses. This is the camera you'll want to use when you cannot use a fullsize camera for whatever reason. I just can't see why red one customers are so threatened by scarlet. Are you planning on having a focus puller doing his work on a pocket camera? Were you planning on using scarlet on a dolly? I don't think so. I also don't think you were planning on using your red one as a crash cam, but wouldn't it be nice if your crash cam footage had matching characteristics to the rest of your production? IMHO, there's no point in scarlet being anything less sensor-wise relative to the red one. I think red's lineup should focus on competing with everything else out there instead of trying to avoid competing with itself. Red hasn't enough market share to concern itself with it's own products competing with themselves. I think scarlet should be a complimentary camera to the red one, not a replacement. And that doesn't mean it should be somehow crippled just for the sake of keeping it from competing with red one, but rather have a feature set that plants it firmly in it's own market spot as the most solid contender of it's category both feature and price wise. :)

Well put cholo.

Right after my last post on this thread the whole website and 2k trademark thing popped up, so I was like 'doh!'.

But then we found out that the trademark was a year old and I read what Jim said on the DVinfo.net thread recently, which continue to fuel the 4k speculation within me. But, who knows for sure, eh?

Either way, I look forward to NAB and wish (for my lack of patience) that it was in March and not April.
 
I haven't read all the speculation, but it seems that most people are assuming this will be a 2k/1080p camera. I have a hunch it won't be. A

Excellent early prediction VisionMind. Just 1k shy of seeing the future. Just thought I'd point out that you were one of the first to predict > 2K.

thanks Shooter.

While I was a k offf, I just had a gut feeling that Red wouldn't settle for anything common/usual. 3k at 1-120 fps, 100mb/s codec for under $3k. Good freakin' grief.
