I know you weren't talking to me directly but I just want to clarify that. Personally I think RED is heading in the right direction with making the brains as small as possible. The brain and modules are small enough to fit within the cases of many popular camera designs and I foresee 3rd party companies doing just that. No one configuration will satisfy everyone but if you make it small enough it can be built up to almost any shape. Mini-XLRs are what the RED One currently has and require a simple adapter to go to full XLR. Full size XLRs just don't fit on the small brains. All brains will have a headphone jack and the viewfinder does have a black and white mode. The REDCODE SDK is out there and Adobe Permiere and Sony Vegas have done an amazing job of implementing it in to their NLEs. I'm sure other suites will follow.

I would make it much larger than the earlier specs. When you are running and gunning a small camera is useless for a pro cameraman. This thing should be the same size as the jvc hd 100. Even if most of it is empty it will give the pro cameraman stabilty. The ability to shoulder mount -standard. Anton Bauer gold mount so we can use our existing batterie plug for lighting and a mount for a light-female screw on top of camera. VU meters on the side of the camera and also in the viewfinder. I dont know what mini XLR'S are. If you wire into a mixer for a line feed you may have problems, a standard XLR would be better. A headphone jack, black and white viewfinder with color bars and a flip out monitor for those long shoots. It would be super cool if it could also shoot on standard mini dv and the memory chip at the same time-whatever memory chip you use. I looked at the workflow to the Avid and it seems like it would work but I would be on pins and needles at first. Maybe Avid should write a direct import mode like it has for Panasonic P2, maybe they are working on it but that would be wonderful. Keep in close contact with Apple and Avid because 90 percent of your users are going to be on FCP or Avids. Just my two cents on making the camera work in the real world. I will definitely be in line with my check book when you release it. Love to visit your factory, I am right down the road in Aliso Viejo.-Thank You- Robert Just make sure that the Scarlett has a place in industrial video production.

They are planning to do 1080p as RGB, not REDCODE RAW, and this makes it difficult to guess the MB/s. The 2/3" fixed Scarlet kit will definitely not come with an EVF as that costs $3,200. The kit will likely come with the 2.8" touchscreen LCD and other modules to get you to a shootable camera. We will have to wait for the Nov. 30th announcement to know for sure.

Also do you know if the 2/3" kit comes with a monitor or an EVF? Thank you for answering all my questions. when shooting in 1080p, how long do you have until you run out of memory?

Sounds like miniXLR but that hasn't been confirmed.

The Epix-X "Tattoo" beta cameras will probably ship before fall is over though. Hopefully RED will have solid Scarlet shipping dates by their Nov. 30th announcement.
