Scarlet X questions

[Edward Saltau]

I've seen these questions around a bit and was hoping someone from red might be able to definitively answer them.

1. On Epic i believe you can shoot at higher frame rates with more compression/less resolution due to a 2.41 crop. Is it possible to do this on Scarlet X?

2. Are custom frame sizes even available? ie, 2:1, 2.41, 2.2:1...

3. Are other compression ratios available? Like 10:1 at 4k 24fps?

4. Can you shoot with anamorphic lenses on scarlet? Ie, window the sensor at the correct ratio so that it stretches out to a desired format.

I'm sure other people have some similar questions that need answering. So chuck your questions here. But try and make them clear and simple so the Red guys might actually answer them.

I don't work for Red, but I'll share what I know and my thoughts.

1. Not known at the moment. However, possible perhaps in the future via software update. They will work on it when they have the time.

2. Unknown at the moment. But again, possible through an update. Similar to #1.

3. Yes. I believe currently up to 12:1.

4. Jim said yes at the launch event. I don't know if this will be available at launch. Again, likely a software update in the near future.
