  • 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 X Data Sheet

I have being creating a PDF version of Phil's notes that I usually have on my iPad when I am out in the field. I am will share this with the Red community and can work with Phil to update and make any changes people would like to see in this document. I am open to any recommendation. Right now it is pretty basic since I have been usually it only for my own reference.
 
In about 4 hours I'll be publishing a PDF version with print resolution graphic with some usage notes/restrictions. (not for resale sort of talk)
 
Awesome Phil! Your data sheets have been very useful to me!
 
Thanks guys, here's the PDF as promised with some added surprises :)

changeLog 11.1.2012

- changed "Crop Factors: 50mm" graphic to "Crop Factors, Dimensions, and Diagonals" with more useful information.
- added format X/Y and diagonal coverage "Crop Factors, Dimensions, and Diagonals"
- created "Red Quick Reference Guide" (or "RQRG"); see below

Red Quick Reference Guide (RQRG)
I have compiled the bulk of these data sheets and some other useful operational notes into a PDF. After seeing my Data Sheets end up in rental houses out here in LA I was inspired to make something a bit more robust for new and seasoned Red shooters.

This PDF is suitable for printing at 300dpi on standard 8.5x11 paper in landscape orientation with space for binding. So you can print it out, bind it up, and toss a copy into your kit. (or email it to renter!) It is 14 pages long with a front and back cover as well as a table of contents.

Here's the current table of contents:

page 1 - Epic Data Sheet
page 2 - Scarlet Data Sheet
page 3 - Red Format Key
page 4 - Red MX Relative Crop Factors
page 5 - RedMag Record Time
page 6 - Red MX Crop Factors
page 7 - Common Motion Picture Aspect Ratios
page 8 - Crop Factors, Dimensions, and Diagonals *new
page 9 - Notes on Infrared Protection *new
page 10 - Powering the Epic and Scarlet *new
page 11 - Black Shading and Operating Temperature *new

I will be updating this as new firmware and upgrades effect the camera's functionality. Let me know if you have any thoughts. This is version 1, but I'll likely add camera and component measurements and weights to the next version.

This document is free and can be freely distributed, but is not for commercial resale use.

It is currently 46MB. Here is the permanent download link:

With a slew of new BT Scarlets out there and the extremely exciting Epic price drop I'm sure this will come in handy for a few people (including myself).

Enjoy,

Phil
 
Phil, one of these days I will successfully convince you to come work for us :)
 
Awesome work Phil. Sorry, I just noticed one quick typo on page 11 under "How to run a black shading calibration" you have 'weight' instead of 'wait'... very minor.

Thanks all. And fixed!
 
thanks Phil for the nice document !
page 11 : it is possible the camera will "oveheight"
I'm not a native english speaker but I think it should be 'overheat'...

Once more: awesome work Phil! Thank you so much for doing this. It's so damn useful! If you need a hand with design let me know.

EDIT: not saying that you need it! :)
 
Cheers guys. We'll see what comes of it. It would be an honor to be apart of the Red team in any way. I've made my living this entire year shooting exclusively with Red. A few shorts, a television pilot, some VFX feature work, several commercials, three music videos, and a couple things that I can't even describe because they don't exist yet. If there's a way to contribute I'd be there without blinking. This company and community means a lot to me.
