RED NAB NEWS THREAD: Scarlet pics are up

So it says "UP TO 100 MB/SEC REDCODE RAW AND RGB RECORDING TO DUAL COMPACT FLASH"

Does that mean any ol' Compact Flash cards - or are these going to be RED flash cards?

Someone please find out what the mount is. B4 or PL. PLEASE.

I can't see the guys over there tryin' to build a B4 mount. I hope it's PL born and universal backed.

You're talking about the 5K epic, right?
The scarlet looks like it has a built in lens.
 
Probably proprietary 8GB Flash cards. I can't see how they're gonna get 120FPS to CF cards, I'm assuming that's where the RED DRIVE comes in as a universal item between all cameras.

P.S. Someone PLEASE REPORT ABOUT THE LENS MOUNT!
 
So is the RED Ray a 4k/5k player?



Is the Epic about to be the top dog at RED or is the RED One still holding that spot?

It does look like it's fixed lens but I can't see why they would spend the extra money to make it a fixed lens camera when they already KNOW the community wants an interchangeable lens.

That just doesn't seem like RED tactics.
 
Considering the site says you can trade in a RED One body for credit towards an epic when the epic is released - I'm assuming the Epic is top dog.
Also - it's 5K, topping the RED One is res, it seems.
 
wow, did you see. You can turn in any red body to get 17500 USD credit towards the Epic. How do they do that?
 
Actually, it might be a fixed lens if they stick with this full auto full manual modes thing.

It'll have to be a fixed lens or a B4 mount/digital mount to pull that off. Dammit.

No it doesn't - in fact it seems like the opposite of RED tactics.
BUT... they do have the Epic and Red One to 'protect' I guess.

Seems kind of like the exact opposite of what they set out to do in the first place.
But still looks like it could be a hell of a camera when it comes out.

I wonder what's new about the Mysterium X sensors? Maybe improved rolling shutter effects?

I'm not sure that anything is 'improved' - but those are 'new' sensors (or will be once they come out), in so far as they didin't have a 2/3 inch version of the Mysterium.
That could be all they mean.

For a palmcorder, I would prefer fixed lens. Besides, they offer interchangeable lenses for the Red One and Epic. I think it was a good call.

You're absolutely right. And I'm absolutely saddened that it's probably the truth of Scarlet: to be a fixed lens camera.

However, I'll get over that really soon. It's still 2/3" And still gonna come in under the price of a lot in it's class.

STILL modular as all get out and STILL RED flavored. We'll have to see how it progresses over the next few months but I'm excited.

Did want to move away from shooting with 35mm Adapters as my personal option but with the Letus Ultimate it won't be bad.
 
here's what I found on camcorderinfo.com :

Today at NAB, Red Digital Cinema showcased the long-awaited Scarlet, a compact model capable of shooting 3K video for under $3,000.
