There are several applications I'm interested in where separating the Epic Brain from the breakout and recorder part of the camer will be advantageous! Any word on wheather there will be a cable and how long it could be???

I echo this question! I've got the same requirement.
Will this cable be a chunky, not-to-flexible multicore, a coax or maybe fibre optic(plus power)?

Pardon me, but from what I understood, there would be no cable. It would be connected internally through the packs.

Are you looking for just recording to be extended and for how far?

At the moment I'm looking for 2-3metres from the recorder. Though it'll often be under 1metre.

would be great if the cable would be long enough to hide the stuff in a bag,
only the lens and brain in the hand.
would be awesome to get some cool shots in exorbitant expensive places hehe

I'd echo this request. The brain-to-cable-to-recording module in backpack approach worked wonders with the SI cameras used on Slumdog Millionaire, jumping over walls and running through the crowded slum streets.
We are configuring our Red so the batteries and Red-Drive are in a padded backpack for hand-held and Steadicam, but it would be wonderous to get the hand-held weight down even more by having more of the 'body' in the backpack as well - an opportunity for the increasingly modular Epic and Scarlet systems.
Perhaps even a 'Red' gyro to attach to the bottom of the brain? Smooth dolly shots are all well and good, but sometimes you can't beat leaving the sticks behind for a rapid, action-packed shoot. The world is your oyster.

It would be a huge advantage in the construction of 3D rigs if the brain could be separated from the other modules even a short distance. Even if only 30cm this would be an advantage allowing the cameras to be shortened and rigs could be physically smaller. Of course the longer the better on the cable.
The new Scarlet and Epics have the potential to be ideal cameras for 3D rigs and if the brain can be separated by a cable it will be THE camera system.
