Well, they just announced wireless 1080p in that new MEIZLER MODULE. I do not see making a whole new camera body as being in line with the philosophy of Epic. Modular is something that enables them to all of what you mention with just a new broadcast module. Also a system like I mentioned would far exceed the competition, not meet it. Sure it would be awesome to see RED entirely transform the processes in one go, but that's not what they have done to cinema either yet. They started with the camera and production workflow, now they are working on RedRay and projectors to finish out delivery. With broadcast I see them doing it the same way. make a module that lets people upgrade to RED cameras. This enables them to do a live broadcast AND make a 4K master of the same shoot if need be, or use each seperately. After that they can make the hardware to deliver 4k directly to the viewer if they decide they want to.
Just ran across this in the Scarlet specs.
REMOTE CONTROL REDLINK Wireless, Ethernet, RS232, GPI Trigger
Anyone know what that Ethernet remote control consists of or what it's specs are? If the Ethernet control spec is available I could write a program to do all of this quite easily... Then I would just have to add a control interface.
