Tonaci Tran just picked up the very first Scarlet-X from RED headquarters! More Scarlet-Xs with PL mounts (instead of the aluminum Canon mount) shipped out yesterday so we may see more Scarlet unboxing later in the day.

Phil Hollland posted some great charts on reduser showing how the different resolutions on Scarlet effect crop factor on common lenses.

Scarlet is finally ready to ship. Some will actually be ready to ship on Nov. 17th if you don’t need the aluminum Canon mount but the regular packages will start shipping on Dec. 1st.

Scarlet is now a 4k S35mm camera that ships with the electronic Canon mount for $9,975. It can also shoot 5k stills at up to 12fps.

Online Orders for Scarlet Open @7pm on Nov. 3rd

Justin O'Neill — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 20:19:51 +0000

You will want to be hanging out on reduser’s recon thread around 6pm on Nov. 3rd, 2011…RED is going to announce Scarlet is shipping and all of the details we want to know about it. It sounds like RED has some nice surprises in store for us as well (Jim promises they are improvements).

At 7pm, online orders for Scarlet will open. It will be mayhem to be prepared!

Scarlet Shipping Before the end of 2011

Justin O'Neill — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 03:01:56 +0000

Jarred just posted that Scarlet will be shipping before the end of the year. That means within 3 months! RED has previously announced that they wouldn’t say anything until Scarlet was ready to ship so it must be close.

Fixed Lens Scarlet in September

Justin O'Neill — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 22:36:10 +0000

Jim Jannard just posted that they are having production issues with the 8x fixed lens on the Scarlet. RED’s latest estimate for Scarlet shipping is September 2011. The good news is that based on the picture we posted a couple days ago RED has a bunch of Scarlet’s they are testing internally so the firmware should be nice and solid by the time it ships.

Army of Scarlets

Justin O'Neill — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 00:34:34 +0000

We haven’t posted any updates on Scarlet recently because there really wasn’t much to report. The current situation for both Epic and Scarlet is that RED is just waiting for parts to replace the ones made by factories that got swept away in the Japan tsunami.

Some good news is trickling in, however. Jarred Land just posted an image of an army of fixed lens Scarlets that they are testing internally.

Epic-S Coming in May for Around $12k

Justin O'Neill — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 23:23:33 +0000

Jim Jannard posted a small update on the old S35 Scarlet. The new official name is Epic-S (not Epic Light) and it will ship in May 2011 for around $12k. Features are similar to the Epic-X but the Epic-S version will have about half the data throughput meaning framerates and Redcode rates will be limited. It will have HDRx as all of the new DSMC cameras do. The entire Epic lineup is being made here in the US. Scarlet will be mass produced overseas in order to bring costs down.
