Scarlet prototype video

Ted Schilowitz shows off the Scarlet prototype at Sundance:

I found this both informative and interesting. Couldn't tell whether or not it was a fixed lens or not as they originally had said it would be. Disappointed that it is literally double in price from the original $3,000 they said it would be. I like the size and shape and can just imaging how much the Gates or Amphibico housings will cost for it. Back to being homeless I guess but at least I will have the cam.

this one is fixed, which is a shame as attachments will never be as good as dedicated lenses. But what might be interesting is that it could be contained in a really small housing, the controls separated into the handles and the lcd screen as a separate entity on a moveable rod.

but the touch screen is worrying a little, are all the basic controls available through a lanc or equivalent?

I think this is going to be the unit for a standard underwater set up as the fixed lens will help out a lot with housing/port design. The touch screen is worrying me too a little bit, but I have no answer to what manual or lanc controls are available. I guess we will have to wait and see.....

Fixed lens? That seems to be a bad move on RED's part. This will kill the choice for a lot of people I bet.

I think they are still going to be offering an interchangeable lens model too, but the fixed lens model was always on the agenda and will probably be the first to see the light of day. Then again this is RED we are talking about so anything could happen!

Other than an actual release of a product

Hey there, I'm the one that filmed that!

Ted was awesome and so was Scarlet.

Good question on the control in a housing.

I suspect you could make an adapter to plug in to where the REDmote/modules hook on in the back. That must have access to everything in that connector.

The fixed lens is very good. I'm sure these will be a staple for the 3D film industry as you can gen lock them and sync their focus/zooms.

There will be a Scarlet interchangeable model. Last word was around $3000 for that. But, they've added HDR to it, so probably more like $4000 for 3k Red Raw shooting. Fixed will be out first.

Really? Sounds intriguing ...

Dean buddy, are you holding your breath now? You look good in blue

Here are some pics of the Scarlet line.

The one in the middle is the interchangeable model. The one on the right is now an Epic S.

Scarlet fixed and interchangeable side by side.

Scarlet interchangeable with RED MicroPrime prototypes.

Very cool! Will be good when they are working.

And when Gates or someone makes a housing for it.

There is still lot of when's isn't there

Not for me at the mo bud... Maybe in a few years when I've worked out how to open my babies Piggy bank

Off to see Ted tonight he is doing an Epic presentation and I believe he has Scarlet too.

Will be interesting although the audience will be filled with a load of RED groupies I would imagine (have you guys seen how much arse kissing goes on on that forum )

Just had a look ... Most of them have shrines to Jim in their bedrooms. Probably because Mr Jannard posts on there pretty regularly... Eric gets the same adulation on here

Scarlet looks pretty cool although I will probably wait until next year for any 'major' equipment upgrade. Have to keep it real The Joneses can get on with it for now...

Eventually one year when we say that, we will be wrong. So I am not going say that anymore, law of averages need to catch up
