Mysterium X?

[combatentropy]

The Red One has a Mysterium sensor, while the Scarlet and Epic will have a "Mysterium X."

Are there any differences in performance?

No speculation, please. Quotes of, or direct replies by, the Red team only, please.

it's next generation

it's a physically larger sensor ("full frame")

capable of 5k

much higher frame rates


There will be some kind of upgrade path for getting a new sensor in your RED ONE. (Not sure about the details; may be higher frame rates but still 4k.)


I've been reading this board for 12 hours now; sorry, i don't remember exactly where this info came from anymore, but I'm pretty confident it's official and confirmed.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Does this new sensor improve on the rolling shutter issues?

[Dylan Reeve]

All that's immediately clear is that it's a next generation. Clearly if it features in the EPIC and SCARLET (both of which have different physical size) it is a family/range of sensors rather than a specific chip.

According to the RED NAB brochure, both the RED ONE and RED EPIC feature 'Full Frame' so it's not necessarily any bigger.

yes...

Can the new sensor make me a sandwich?

[Deanan]

Can the new sensor make me a sandwich?

of course...
but not with nikon sliced bread.

[Dylan Reeve]

Damn. The Nikon sliced bread is all I can get locally. Although I believe I can get Cooke Bagels. :)

[Essor]

It's not bigger.

Still super35mm. Same size as the red one.

Give me that LOMO taste...

[Lawrence Bansbach]

Does this new sensor improve on the rolling shutter issues?yes...Are you free to elaborate? In other words, do the Mysterium X sensors have a rolling shutter, or do they have a global shutter? If the former, are the reductions in rolling-shutter artifacts moderate or significant?

[Ameer Azari]

It would be cooler if it could make a frappucino

Red confirms Mysterium X improves rolling shutter issue. Thank you, Deanan. Though still a bit tight-lipped, eh?

Maybe I should just ask, When will you tell us full details about what performance improvements Mysterium X brings?

No wait, that's still not right. Ahem:

When will Red tell us the full details of what they are currently planning will be the performance improvements of the Mysterium X sensor?

NEVER

I think the point is that it's still in development. They'll have a design goal but it won't be until they really start squeezing everything out of it that there'll be any final details. And even then, as we've seen with the Mysterium, there may be a lot of scope for further improvements with firmware.
