We were told Scarlet is two months behind.
Did anyone in vegas find out what 2 months actually means? Of course it means 2 months, but two months from what? Tattoo? Stage 2? Stage 3? Stage 4?
I hate to rehash the "When Is Scarlet Out" discussion. But I think this is a legitimate question.

The best policy is to let the info wash over you, but don't try to make specific plans, you will only be disappointed if you do.
If I were to guess I would say Scarlett is somewhere between November and February sometime.

I think they're talking about what stage of development it is in. Judging by the recon posts, Epic prototypes have only been working and shooting for between two weeks and a month. So perhaps Scarlet prototypes will start going somewhere from a month to a month and a half from now.Originally Posted by Sterling Wescott
Joseph's estimate (posted in the 'will there ever be a Scarlet thread' sounds pretty likely to me:

The numbers Joseph posted do not match up with what RED has been saying on here and what multiple RED people were saying at RED Day. We know they are aiming to start "Tattoo" by May and RED has stated many times that they want to get this right and will likely spend 2 - 3 months beta testing. That would put Epix-X stage 2 in July or August. The wording RED has used suggests Scarlet will be ready two months after stage 2 starts so likely Sep. or Oct.
Keep in mind this is all speculation and RED themselves can't know how the "Tattoo" beta test will go. It could be a lot shorter or way longer. I have not heard anyone at RED suggest stage 2 could start as early as June, however.

Great Scott! You mean I have to invent a time machine to get a Scarlet?
Any one got some Plutonium, a DeLorean, and Michael J. Fox?

Ask JJ. Jarred recently recounted an anecdote about Jim being a challenge to find unusual Christmas prezzies for so i wouldn't bet against it

We don't really have a Stage-wise schedule for Scarlet. Considering the first Tattoos go out in May, it would mean the first production-worthy Scarlets will roll out in July. Beyond that, we don't really know if there will be a Tattoo-style testing period, or internal testing. We don't know if the Red One customers will get priority, etc. So, there are a lot of variables. But I am going to guess the first production release of the final Scarlet 2/3" is going to be about September-October. If that's a worldwide widespread release, all good and well. If not, then it will be the Red One owners getting the first priority. Do note that Scarlets will be mass produced, so there shouldn't be months lapsing in between. I think the Scarlet 2/3" will most definitely make 2010, barring major changes.

I'm not sure they will roll out Scarlet while R1 owners are waiting for their stage 2/3 Epics... It doesn't seem in line with their philosophy of rewarding R1 buyers.
I think the everyman, who was out of the R1 loop will be waiting for some time yet.
Scarlet to be released the same day as Epic stage 4.... my guess... dec 10/ jan 11

Jim has said the Scarlet program is running parallel to the Epic program on its own schedule and that it will ship when ready. Epic will not hold it up. It has been affected by the ASIC delay, but the fact that Epic prototypes are working and have been quietly used in the field for more than a month means they are past that stage. There is no reason for Epic roll out to delay the 2/3" Scarlet at all. There may be some delay for S35 as it shares the same sensor with Epic and I am sure they will devote the sensors to Epic until the initial rush is past. It is certainly not in Red's interest to delay Scarlet's release anymore than required to assure quality and reliability.
