Muroshi's scarlet design thread

[Aiden Cornwell]

casio just announced a 60fps 1920x1080 the Casio EX-F1. its a DSLR.

4k is 4 times the rez as 2k. why would RED take a leap backwards? when they can take a leap forward. I hope they have pretty much the same 4k super 35 sized sensor in a very very small tight package.

with the r&d they have done i'm hoping they are figuring this out. it would be in everyones best interest if scarlet and REDONE have a matching look.

Jim has stated it will not come close to what the REDONE can do.

[Shawn Bannon]

that doesn't mean the image quality wont be the same as the REDONE.

but could mean it is totally stripped down. barely any inputs. few places to mount accessories. no audio inputs. more of a camera you would use for action shots, crash cam, etc...

built in audio is a must. What's the point of a pocket camera if you need to have a boom operator with 2nd unit sound following you?

[Shawn Bannon]

is it a must? i dont know one film camera that has built in audio.

i think you'll use your REDONE for sync sound regular style shooting and the Scarlet for action style shots where sound might not be 100 percent necessary.

i'm not saying it wont have sound capabilities or timecode. but it shouldn't have all the inputs to save size and weight.

It's actually a 60 fields per second camera - but nobody's really counting. 1080 out of a dslr is still pretty cool.

In fact, it can actually go much higher in frame rate depending how much you drop resolution... you can get up to 1200 fps at 96 x 300.

in either setting, there's no word on which codec is being used for recording. Hopefully, the HD recording and the "youtube ready" functions are not one and the same.

cheers

I still think it is. Having a built in little microphone gives you a reference for foley, marking shots, and capturing nat sound if nothing else.

I'd fight for a small mic even if it only serves as a starting point for mixing and sound replacement.

BTW - I'm pretty sure this isn't a film camera.

its not a film camera, I know. my point is that plugging in sound gear to a pocket camera isn't essential. sure a reference mic or an off camera timecode recorder might but necessary for certain circumstances.

the point of having a pocket camera is to keep it minimal and small and to only use the camera for certain situations. there are already 100's of pocket hd cameras on the market with sound, zooms lenses, etc...

RED wants to make a professional pocket camera. And keeping it 4k and the sensor super 35mm sized will solve a lot of problems as well as pushing them that much further ahead.

I made another quicker sketch, using the knob to move the screen around the back of the camera for bizarre angles.

AMAZING quicke sketch..:love:

The main feature of redone is 4k. Therefore when Jim says it will not come close to the Redone therefore not 4k. The 2nd point is their is a huge pro market that does not need 4k. You have industrial productions to tv productions (reality, news) that 4k is massive overkill.

Also as was seen in the patient registry Red has 2k scarlet not 4k scarlet on record so all signs point to 2k or less.
