  • 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

Man this guy ROCKS!!!

Thanks Phil :)
 
Hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving break. I've added two new pages to the Red Quick Reference Guide that should be of use to people.

changeLog 11.26.2012

- created page "Monitoring Overview and LEMO Operation Notes"
- created page "F-Stop & ISO Reference & Flicker Free Shutter Speeds"
- added table of contents to first post of this thread
- corrected a few typos

Breakdown of the two new pages:

Monitoring Overview and LEMO Operation Notes - Covers the basics of the currently available Red Displays (LCDs and EVFS). Also, provides the general location of the port/socket and which modules have "dual" display support. There's a quick note on HD-SDI and HDMI too. Lastly there are instructions on how to properly operate the LEMO connectors. This should be particularly useful for renters and those new to the Red system.

F-Stop & ISO Reference & Flicker Free Shutter Speeds - Contains quick reference of Intermediate F-Stops (f/1-22) in both 1/3 and 1/4 stop increments. Also contains quick reference of ISO Sensitivities (50-102400) in 1/3 stop increments. Between this page and the ND Optical Densities found on the Infrared Protection page you have a nice reference to quickly identify how to tweak your image in stops based on your desired aperture and ISO. I've included two quick indexes of the Flicker Free Shutter Speeds (60Hz and 50Hz) for some of the more common frame rates. It's a nice guide for overcranked use, but also useful if you find yourself shooting with artificial lighting in a different country or find yourself concerned with NTSC/PAL standards.

I'm certainly excited by the tremendous response. It's been downloaded a whole bunch in the last month. Looking forward to adding more useful bits to it.

Hi Phil,

Just wanted to say a huge thank-you for putting all of this together in an excellent and clear manner. There's an incredible amount of work in the pdf and it will be a huge help for getting those unfamiliar with the camera up and running.

Best,
Mondo
 
Cant wait for the iOS version ;)
 
Thank you Janosch, Joe, and Mondo. Really happy that it's getting some good use out there.
@Eric, I'll start figuring out how to optimize an IOS/table friendly version. As of now, you can just download the PDF to your device :)

changeLog 12.12.2012
- created new cover graphic
- created "Audio, Timecode, and Genlock" page
- created "REDCODE RAW Primer" page
- changed wording on the Epic Data Sheet
- changed wording on Black Shading page
- changed wording on REDMAG Record Time page​


Happy "Twelve" day! It's been a couple weeks and I've created some new content and cleared up some wording in the RQRG.

Besides some updated wording, there's a new front page graphic. Also, there are two new pages that should be helpful to those who are new owners, renters, or even potential camera buyers. Here's what they are:

REDCODE RAW Primer - This is an important page for those who are new to shooting REDCODE RAW. There's some basic information on the codec, some of the advantages it presents, and most importantly some general advice for shooting to assist in creating high quality material.

Audio, Timecode, and Genlock - This page covers the various ways of getting audio, timecode, and genlock into your camera through the brain or use of modules. It also clearly states how many, what type, and what recommended cables you should use for your setup.

Here's the link: Red Quick Reference Guide (link to 52MB PDF)


This will probably be the last update before the holiday break. There's not too much more to add and this quick guide shouldn't get too thick. But I'll add Dragon info once we learn final specifications and a few other tidbits likely next year.
 
Thanks Phil, your manual is always in my tablet.

L.

+1 your manual is the biggest help! My Scarlet finally arrived yesterday [unfortuinitly haven't been able to open it or play with it yet]
But everything you have put in this little quick reference guide has been a big help with understanding!
 
Thanks for all these updates Phil. It's so generous of you to provide us with such a handy tool at zero charge. Thanks for all the input and feedback you provide!

Just exchanged the "old" version on my ipad and phone!

a million thx!
 
Phil the redMag recording specs, is that based on 23.976 fps across the board?
 
Thanks Phil...is there a planned update for the WS modes?

Sure. I just need to get the numbers from somebody. My Scarlet mysteriously transformed into an Epic after putting some money into a Red box.
