After the Bomb dropped nine days ago the Thread about the new Scarlet we nearly know nothing. But some Things got clearer after now 1111 Posts and LiminalTV was so kind to put everything together.

In spite of all the wild guess work going on round here, I think we have been given enough information by Jim to have a sensible stab at a specification. Reading between the lines I think the obvious facts are:

1) Scarlet will run on hydrogen.

2) The right handed version will be available shortly after NAB. The left hand version will follow by late Martober.

3) Scarlet will weigh twice as much when held upside down.

4) The sensor will be a 5-dimensional complex hypersphere with a minimum resolution of at least (321+16i)K.

5) Scarlet will be biodegradable.

6) Scarlet will run on 120 volts, but only needs 116 of them. The spare electrons are collected in a small hopper which must be emptied between shoots.

7) The lens will be gravitational. Current information indicates that it will use a fixed space-time metric singularity. It might also support Hanimex lenses.

8 ) The variable frame rate will support negative values. Shooting backwards before this announcement will invalidate the warranty.

9) Scarlet will support Redcode 2 which compresses footage to 1/infinity percent of the raw data. A 5 1/4 inch floppy drive is integral to the camera and is the only storage that will be needed.

If you haven’t recognised till know this up there is not true. If you wanna know what we know go to the Scarlet’s Redesign: What we know Thread. One thing to mention is this. The new Specs will arive early November.

Till then,
George
