Status on Pro I/O Module

[Mark Pedersen]

Can we get a status update on the Epic Pro I/O Module?

Since the standard I/O module development was discontinued there has been no official statement from RED about the Pro I/O module, even though several people requested information about it in the Epic X Update thread.

Since then, RED has announced a Proxi Module, and Allstar has come up with some innovative solutions, but I'd really like RED to confirm that:

1) The Pro I/O Module is still in development
2) If it will be available in September timeframe when Epic X hopefully starts to ship. If not, when it will ship.
3) Final specifications
4) Pricing

This is an incredibly important module for many people so it would be great to know if Red still plans to ship it, so we know whether or not to turn to third party solutions.

Thanks so much!

+1 on Final specifications question.
especially will this module be the only way to get 4 channel audio into the camera ?

Thanks Marcus

Is the Pro I/O module discontinued?

4 channels of sound directly in to my R1 was great - hope to continue with this on the Epic...

"Pro I/O - Shipping begins in January"

Yeah I saw that. But one would think we would see a final design render or specs or something by now. If it going actually be shipping in January, we'd need to place orders pretty soon given past experience with new items going immediately into backorder.

For example:

"REDMOTE - Next batch comes in end of September. Out of Backorder end of October."
Got my EPIC X 3 weeks ago, haven't received the Redmote yet.

"DSMC Side Handle - Catching up... should be out of existing backorder in 2 weeks and healthy supply in 3 weeks."
Geting mine next week. Ordered late August.

"Canon Mount - Next batch in 2 weeks. Healthy production October.
Ordered August. Still waiting

"Quad REDVOLT module - End of October. "
Not shipping yet

"Dual REDVOLT module - Mid December "
Really want this module for a lighter/smaller configuration

"Quad REDVOLT charger - End November"
Really hope this can ship in high volume by that date, as the quad module would be a little tough to feed with travel chargers ;0

I know RED has changed its policy to not announce new products before they are in production and ready to ship, but the Pro I/0 module was announced (and renders presented) way back when EPIC was first announced. So it's not like a surprise that will tip off the competition.

Anyway, I hope we can get a look at it soon. It would be nice to be able to design a shipping case based on the dimensions.

i was just looking at the significant update thread, where jim is stating that after 2011 the price will go up, so from that i can conclude we will be able to order and see the pro i/o within this year

RED shipping estimates are like when your computer's progress bar zips along to the last 25% and then hangs there forever...
