Scarlet is another CMOS sensor in your "pocket" for your RED ONE

[Sanjin Jukic]

Scarlet is another CMOS sensor in your "pocket" for RED ONE!!!

What about "swappable sensors to emulate film choices if signal processing flexibility is never enough?"

Maybe Scarlet would bring something like a sort of "swappable sensors" technology and that could be a "pocket" size exactly what was Jim telling us here on the forum.

You have another sensor/(like a film stock) SCARLET in your "pocket" and you just have to EXCHANGE or SWAP in you RED ONE camera and then continue to shoot in a dark or whatever other lighting situation you have.

Simply is an exchangeable CMOS sensor with more latitude or a famous ISO/ASA that RED user is dreaming about.

By the way scarlet (from the Persian säqirlāt) is a red color with a hue that is somewhat toward the orange...It may also refer to the color of the blood of a living person. Scarlet is made of red and orange.>>>

Also don't forget that RED is a modular design digital camera.

The new Scarlet "swappable sensor" module would cost you between US $ 5.000-15.000?!

This makes no sense.

"Swappable sensors" technology

"Swappable sensors" technology

It's just an idea...but nobody knows what Scarlet would bring!!!??

RED DR 12+ stops that is something that the most of RED users are dreaming about.

So why don't make them happy.

Mysteruim has about 11 stops DR based on 320 ISO/ASA.

Scarlet should bring one stop more DR with ASA/ISO 500/600.

What is a "pocket" size "camera"?

The pocket size "camera" could be the Scarlet's sensor module for RED ONE.

If you need more DR for RED shooting then you could take another "sensor" module from your "pocket" and to exchange a module from Mysterium to Scarlet.

DON'T FORGET THAT RED ONE IS BASED ON A MODULAR DESIGN!!!

It is the same as if you would have two film stocks and you can choose one that should better cover your need for a particular shot.

Sounds quite good but it's all a pure or even a "crazy" speculation.

Sensor =! camera.

I've always wanted a digital camera with swappable sensors - a 50ASA 56k for outdoors, a 320ASA 32k for indoors, a 500-800ASA 32k for night exteriors. It seems to me to be unfair to ask one sensor to do what three very different film stocks do. That said, my 20d goes from 100ASA to 3200ASA and is very useable from 100-800.

One problem... isn't Scarlet a "Pocket Professional Digital Cinema Camera"? So that would kinda rule out the "switchable sensor" idea...

Maybe that will be the next RED project... KEEP HOPING GUYS!!

i'd imagine that swapping sensors on a regular basis would introduce all kinds of headaches....dust, focusing issues, forgetting one at home, etc....

It could be something similar mechanism like a slot loading dvd in your laptop.

Of course a sensor must be in sort of protection case from dust, scratches, fingerprints, etc...

Inject / Eject mechanism could be controlled by camera software using menu in a small cam lcd on the back.
