Scarlet vs. perfect camera checklist

[AndreeMarkefors]

• S35 or bigger sensor
• Wavelet type "RAW" codec, able to record to 600x CF cards without dropping frames
• 3K or higher resolution
• Auto focus, several modes. Hybrid touch to focus manual mode. Face tracking.
• 60 fps or more at full res. Higher is better.
• interchangeable lens mount
• Image stabilization in camera
• Built in quality stereo microphone
• 5-7" 720p+ Monitor solution with histogram and sensor clip data
• 720p+ monitor signal, while maintaining signal on onboard monitor
• ND filters
• GPS tagging
• Remote control (actual framing support screen huge bonus)
• At least 1h recording capacity in handheld configuration (no external monitor)
• Weather sealed body

Does sound like the perfect camera---sign me up!

 

[Peter Stadelmann]

2 XLR connections for external mics would be nice!

 

[Kyle Presley]

Sounds sort of like an Epic

That is what the I/O module is for...

The front module is the I/O module I believe.

 

[Lliam Worthington]

Andree, for your further consideration?

:drool:

 

[Matt Makena]

Has there been any news on the Pro I/O Module? The last thing I could find about it is 2 years old. Of course if I had a waffle maker I may not care about sound.

I'm afraid you're kind of right...

Looking at Epic, for my needs, I would trade some resolution for bigger photo sites on sensor to maximize low light capability and DR. It would also make post a little bit easier on the computer, and allow for more practical storage.

As if the camera isn't heavy enough....

Oh yes.. the Waffle Module... I think we'll see that at NAB this year. Man I can't wait for that one...think we'll see a working prototype with Ted soon?

I'm frankly a bit concerned that there might not be stabilization or ND filters.

If you need a rig for steady tele shots and you have to pimp it out with a matte box and filters, it kind of makes the run n gun format of a fixed Scarlet "not as flexible".

And if I feel I need to rig it out like that, I think it would bother me quite a bit that I can't go under f2.4. With a 2/3" sensor it would be really great to be able to go to f1.8 or even f1.4

 

[Jay Birch]

What I would add:

14+ stops native DR
Clean 6400 ISO
Scaled, 4:4:4, 10bit+, ProRes 1080p/2k

The waffle side mount. You know it makes sense!

Well if the Interchangeable is still planned with mini primes you'll have these at your disposal for $950 per lens...

• 6mm T1.5
• 8mm T1.5
• 16mm T1.5
• 25mm T1.5
• 50mm T2.9

Regarding Matteboxes...there is a good picture of a 3D kit I think Joseph took a shot of once, and it was still tiny looking. That is the setup I'm hoping comes out honestly. I love the 2/3 format, throw in those mini primes, and a PL or Canon mount to take advantage of the crop factor of RED or Canon lenses would be perfect I think.

Ha... As long as it takes the REDVolt XL's I'm in. I get hungry when I shoot. You know speculation is driving us all crazy when Waffle Irons are being added on as accessories. What's next... a Deep Fryer? Built in Jet Pack?

 

[Lliam Worthington]

Jetpack, oh come on! That is so RED lol
Jannard jetpacking into to the NOV 3rd announcement all Stark enterprises -Iron man style would just fit perfectly

Sorry Andree, no more thread jacking... with all my waffle.
Very late here in AUS now - time for bed and an end to another day of Scarlet addiction.
Good night gentemen.

I understand that ProRes would be a convenience feature, but I would settle for a scaled mode 2k with the highest possible Redcode setting that recorded safely to the CF-module.

No worries, might have to make pancakes for breakfast tomorrow...
