Details on the Scarlet and Epic DSMC System are Slowly Leaking Out
- Epic will have support (electronic) for both Nikon and Canon lenses (and others). www.reduser.net/6157
- The mechanical shutter on a film camera leads to 4 microseconds of skew. The RED One had 9µs which led to issues in certain situations. The Mysterium-X in the Scarlet and Epic will have 5µs so it will be very close to film.
- DSMC Openings: Jarred Land described how dust and moisture are kept out of the DSMC brains:
the openings are connected to a completely sealed system.. its a closed tube that uses forced air to cool heatsinks. The only thing exposed is the fans that blow the air.. and those are user cleanable and changeable.
- The battery in the REDhandle is interchangeable.
- RED has announced they are working on a optical viewfinder module for the Scarlet and Epic.
- DSMC modules can be attached in any order. They can also be attached to the brain remotely via wires. We are waiting to hear what the maximum wire distance is.
- Up to 6 DSMC cameras can be controlled by one REDmote.
- The REDmote can be powered by the camera when attached by a cable. It can also be charged with any USB charger.
- There are four types of audio output available on the DSMC: HDSDI, HDMI, XLR, and a 1/8″ headphone jack.
- Scarlet and Epic consume much less power so even though they are smaller the four batteries in the module will last around 3 hours and are hot swappable. The battery in the handle is not. The original RED One batteries will last considerably longer.
- The modules are secured to each other with a 1/4 turn of a hex key.
- To use modules besides the side and bottom handles, a thin adapter module is required. It allows the same modules to be used on both the Scarlet and Epic even though the brains are different sizes. It also contains a mechanism to allow a solid connection when many modules are attached on the back.
- The REDhandle module’s battery can be replaced without removing the module from the brain.
- The Epic-X will be the first DSMC camera released as a reward to the early RED One adopters.
- There will be full sized XLR inputs on the Pro I/O module and 3.5mm stereo inputs on all of the DSMC brains.

I wonder how much it would cost to have the scarlet equiped with a larger sensor than the 2/3″ chip.
Hi Soufian, the Scarlet is available in S35 and FF35 sensor sizes as well.
