I'm curious to see how the fly-by-wire is going to work. For zoom and focus, it has to be pretty responsive. I don't doubt RED, but it seems like a hit-or-miss thing...

If everything is in simultaneous development...then I can't wait! could buy two cams at once then!

this should be brilliant for controls in an underwater housing. will the camera be fully controllable via a "LANC-style" wired input connection? apologies if this has been re-hashed previously.
Thanks!

In beta testing the Epic-X they are basically beta testing the 2/3" cinema Scarlet as well. I mean the Epic-X has everything the Scarlet has and more. The Epic brain does 3k scaled and all of the modules are exactly the same. From my understanding the Scarlet's are basically the same technology but just have fewer ASICs and maybe less expensive versions of some chips.

Understood, I'm just wondering about when one wishes to have control over multiple axes. This lens give the option for one manual or "imitation direct drive" (not pejorative, just don't know how better to describe it) via geared ring. I noticed the render with the REDgunner showed a zoom with two of these rings. Just wondering about the process of choosing what gets controlled where and and what happens when one wishes to control say, zoom and focus at the same time, or squeeze in an iris pull as well. Sometimes the "old fashioned" manual way is preferable, which I guess is why there's a geared ring there in the first place.
Like I said, Hmmn ... Not criticizing or disappointed, just interested in the planned process.

This brings up an interesting question about the Fixed and any of the electronic lenses.
Will there be a port and protocol for existing third party items like a varizoom to interface with the brain and control the fly by wire capabilities off of the brain, say on a pan handle? Or will there be a red module to replace the third party off body items? The Red gunner looks like such a thing but still on the body.

That is by so very far the most Bad A%$#@ Lens design I ever got my eyes on, and looking so forward to get my hands on too
The Mad scientist @ RED really deserve some Recognition for all this stuff you guys are coming up with, simply Stunning!!

I would hazard a guess that most individuals signing up for a fixed lens 2/3" camera are doing so instead of something like an HVX. Therefore a digital toggle for zoom wouldn't be so off-putting to that user, just like an off lens dial for iris.
That or RED has once again come up with a wicked new way of f***ing our world up.

You always have 2/3" interchangeable for conventional option.

Same here. I often zoom and focus simultaneously on the lens while manning the tripod head movement with my other hand, but I'm also just used to doing it all myself. I'd be happy to have an excuse to get someone to help. I guess a non-fixed lens camera gives you all the options you could ever want, though.
