Red epic pics @ ibc 2009

[Mark L. Pederson]

Having seen early prototype mock-ups - I have to say when I had the chance to spend a little time with Jarred earlier today with the new prototype - it completely surpassed my expectations.

I LOVE the dual CF module that allows recording to span from one card to another and allows you to "hot-swap" while shooting. When the 32G CFs ship - this is going to be just awesome. I was also struck by how small the brain is with the EVF/LCD / CF module on the side - which is all you need to shoot - PERFECT for the forthcoming mid-sized ET 3D rig. I also dig the fact that the EVF connection is the SAME connection for the LCD and you can run THREE at any time. 1 EVF + 2 LCDs, 2EVFs + 1LCD, ETC. - also cool that you can power from Red Brick, or smaller batteries in a module - or battery in the handle.

I don't think I can find words for how excited I am about this camera and how impressed and proud I am of the entire RED team.

EPIC-X is going to CRUSH.

Mark,

Thanks reporting, proud of you and thanks to all of RedTeam.

Mark,

That's some great news. I'm surprised no one else is reporting about the RED presentation this morning! Where are all the photos and in-depth analyses of Jim's words?

Well ... you know how it goes ... everything subject to change. But EPIC is just waiting for ASIC. First spin due in about a week. Fingers crossed. Jim did a great Q&A - really expressed how much FUN he (and the RED team) are having on this wild ride.

I love his line "yesterday I knew nothing, today I know a little, tomorrow I might be dangerous".

I think it's fair to say Jim is ... dangerous. In the very BEST way.

OMG I'm so stoked on these new DSMC cameras!!

Now I'm as excited about the Epic as I was about the RED One, which is saying a lot.

First and for all I must thank mr.Jim and Jarred especially for allowing us to get the opportunity to see the epic coming alive and I must say the camera will be incredible.

they have tried to answer all the questions and they have been really helpfull to all of us at IBC.

thanks a lot for this both of you.

Hey that's great !
Do you know if it will this time be possible to have different settings on each one ? I mean, for example, 1:1 magnification on the assistant's LCD, clean signal in the EVF and false color in the 3rd LCD ? + TC / file name overlay on one of the HD-SDI outs ?

If the first spin is in about a week...can you imagine if right off the bat it just works?! BE BRILLIANT! but as always tweaks here and there...so maybe its a reality that some will ship in 1st Q 2010
