Andrew Walker just posted some pictures on www.reduser.net from the Local 695′s RED Day comparing the Canon 5D Mark II and the Scarlet prototype. Keep in mind RED only shows prototypes 2 generations behind what they are currently working on so the final shape will likely be somewhat different.
The general size is probably pretty close to the final design, though. The RED Pro Prime is at the large end of what you would most likely using with the Scarlet.
Here is a nice picture of the Scarlet without a lens attached:
And one of the Scarlet from the back:
Could a Red Scarlet 3k file be uploaded into a 2008 MACBOOK 2.0 – and would the file work ?
Question. Would it work In say IMOVIES… ? Or just Final Cut… ? Not even Final Cut ?
I know this sounds like a strange question but I wanna know if this type of camera can be used by me, my mother and my pet monkey ? The reason… I just wanna know how compatible the files are with simple software and how accessible this camera is to people without loads of equipment ?
Will this camera be available to buy from stores In Tokyo ?
Thanks.
Hi Taktak, Scarlet will shoot digital files just like a DSLR that can be dragged and dropped to any computer. The RAW file codec is REDCODE which is supported by many editing programs including the latest versions of Final Cut Pro, Vegas 9, and Adobe Premiere and After Effects. As far as I know Apple has not added REDCODE support to iMovie yet, although they may at some point in the future. I have used Adobe Premiere and you can easily edit full resolution REDCODE RAW files on a regular laptop.
RED’s original plan was to sell the fixed lens Scarlet at major camera retail stores around the world so there is a good chance you will be able to purchase one in Tokyo.
When will the RED SCARLET 3k version be released ? Any new updates ? STill gonna be sold in MAJOR stores around the world ? Hope so ! A t o d e n e !
Jim Jannard is announcing the release schedule for all of the DSMC cameras (including the Scarlet 3k fixed and cinema) on Oct. 30th. Hopefully they will also update us on their mass production capabilities for the 3k fixed Scarlet. Only two more weeks to wait!
Thanks. I`m actually interested In buying the next one up.. with the body.. and the changeable lens capability… I hope this comes to Japan too ! Thank you for your help. Looking forward OCT 31 !
About how much will Scarlet weigh? I realize the weight will vary with the different component combinations, but with the basic or standard setup, what is the approx. weight?
Jarred Land says at the very end of the video on this page http://www.camerarentalz.com/epic-x-ibc-09/ that the Epic-X brain will weigh about 6 lbs. Scarlet brains are a bit thinner so they could weigh anywhere from 5 – 5.5 lbs. I would guess a setup with a few modules would weigh around 10 – 12 lbs. Hopefully they will announce weights on Oct. 30th as well. RED equipment is all metal and incredibly solid so they definitely aren’t light weight cameras.
what is the bit depth per channel for the red scarlet? 10bit?12bit? or 14bit?how many stops?
does red scarlet supported detatchable lenses?
and what does it use for storing the image data? harddrive or solidstate flash memory?
and is that sub 3000$ include a lense or is this the price for the body alone?
does it shoot in progressive mode?
if there is anyone outthere with experience with this thing,please share,possibly a list of features
would be nice.am a Kenyan dude who does music videos and documentaries,and i want to know
whether this scarlet beats the hvr-zu1.
Hi Karanja, both Scarlet and Epic will be 15bit. RED is still tweaking the sensor so we don’t know how many stops there will be. They are saying about 1 1/2 more then on the RED One cameras at this point in development. All of the Epics and Scarlets support interchangeable mounts and lenses except for the fixed 8x zoom 2/3″ Scarlet. RED is working on allowing us to record to many different storage options but currently you can record to CF cards, RED Drives (hard drive), and RED RAM. Prices may have gone up slightly but the previously announced price of $2,500 is for the brain only. The fixed lens Scarlet shooting kit is targeted around $4k. All shooting modes on RED cameras are progressive.
