We have gone through RED’s Nov. 30th announcement and subsequent forum posts with a fine tooth comb and posted the interesting details that might have slipped through the cracks for some.

• RED will be announcing a slew of accessories aimed at the Scarlet in the coming weeks
• Jarred states that the ‘machines’ are already churning out parts in order to meet the huge demand
• The fixed 8x fixed zoom lens on the 2/3″ Scarlet will be f2.4 and t2.6.  Focal lengths have not been announced
• The 8x fixed zoom has three ND positions built in: OFF, .9ND, and 1.8ND
• Lens info from the 8x zoom is saved as meta data to the .r3d file
• Fixed Scarlet has Headphones, HDMI, RS422, Sync (Video and Shutter), Gigabit Ethernet and D.C Power in ports on the back
• A mini PL mount will come standard with the 2/3″ Cinema Scarlet brains.  Seperately, it will cost less then $500
• The depth of field you can achieve at t1.5 on the miniRED primes is similar to an S35 lens at t4. ( Thanks David Mullen)
• The battery module for the fixed zoom kit was not announced as they have not decided which to include yet
• The auto focus built into all of the DSMC brains includes face tracking
• The focus knob on the REDmote Pro has a 2.5″ diameter
• The Bomb EVF has an internal heater built in for cold situations.  Production will begin in Jan. ’10
• REDCODE 100 (now available on the 2/3″ Scarlets) will need SSD to handle that much data.  REDCODE 42 works on all media
• The Epic brains will have the capability to overlay a frame from the previous scene
• Files can be copied off the media via gigabit ethernet
• Both the aluminum and magnesium DSMC bodies are going through thorough thermal and environmental testing right now.  One design will be chosen based on the results
• The RED drive module will be very thin and allows current RED drives to be plugged into the DSMC system
• Remote camera control via 802.11 WiFi AND REDLink wireless interfaces
• There will likely be a discount on a full set of miniRED primes
