  1. #1 1k at 120 fps 
    I love everything about the Scarlet x and will be purchasing one for my horror movie that we'll shoot in the spring. Well done Red.

    One spec that does concern me is the 1k at 120fps. This seems too low res. Does this become an unusable spec? Am I wrong?

    I was wondering that too. Will it at least be 720p? The crop factor sounds scary though... would be nice if it did some down resing from the full frame.

    No. I'm using it for a feature film. Every other spec fits what we're trying to do, but this spec may not be usable for us. Not complaining, it's a fantastic camera. But I do wish it had been a bit higher res on 120 fps

    Yeah that is the one thing 1k at 120, and also why not 1920 by 1080

    1K on the Scarlet is 1024 x 540.

    so basically 1080p is 4 times the resolution of 1k on scarlet. this could be the answer to 'why' there isn't 1080p. Obviously 4 times higher resolution is a lot, so it's not like it's a small difference that a slight tweak could have added if their circuitry/boards can't support it

    For a feature film going to the silver screen, the 1k footage would need some professional post work to make it look right on the screen.
    If you're outputting for 1080p HD then its not as much of an issue. You'll probably still need to use some plugin in post to uprez/enhance the footage.

    Well they don't want to cut into their Epic market.
