RED Quietly Begins Shipping SCARLET DRAGON

RED Also opens Store in New York

By James DeRuvo (doddleNEWS)

The day has finally arrived for RED SCARLET users as Fire Chief Jared Land took to the RED User Forums today to announce that RED has begun shipping the SCARLET DRAGON 6K digital cameras, with everyone who ordered at NAB the first in line.

 

Happy to let you guys know that the Scarlet Dragon line is up and running and the first batch of Scarlet Dragons will be shipped out today. Everyone that ordered first day of NAB should be getting notified this morning. Orders between day 2 of NAB through to today will be shipped over the next 2 weeks. – Jarred Land, RED User Forums

As a reminder of the killer specs that Dragon brings to the Scarlet party, here’s a brief rundown …

  • 19 MegaPixel 6K Dragon Sensor
  • 16.5+ stops of dynamic range
  • Records in these formats:
    6K RAW (Full Frame)
    5K RAW (Full Frame, 2:1, 2.4:1, 16:9)
    4K RAW (Full Frame, 2:1, 2.4:1, 16:9)
    3K RAW (Full Frame, 2:1, 2.4:1, 16:9)
    2K RAW (Full Frame, 2:1, 2.4:1, 16:9)
  • Output to

    SMPTE Timecode, HANC Metadata, 24-bit 48Khz Audio
  • Max Frames per Second:6K FF: 12 FPS (in Burst mode)
    5K FF: 48 FPS
    4K FF: 60 FPS
    3K FF: 80 FPS
    2K FF: 120 FPS5K 2.4:1: 60 FPS
    4K 2.4:1: 75 FPS
    3K 2.4:1: 100 FPS
    2K 2.4:1: 150 FPS

In addition, the SCARLET DRAGON is ultra quiet since it doesn’t have the need for a fan (although it has one).”Scarlet Dragons run at a lower temperature than the Epic Dragons so the fans are optional,” writes Land. “You can use them if you want, but they are not needed.”

Land mentioned above that those who pre-ordered on day one of NAB will be getting their new Scarlets beginning today, with Day 2 NAB orders and beyond shipping within the next two weeks. No clear word when the upgrade program will end, too, which means the Scarlet Dragon program is a very popular upgrade program. Brent from RED chimed in saying … “As of now, rest assured, you have got awhile – we have not even started processing upgrades to SCARLET DRAGON.”

We are proud to announce the soft opening of our Manhattan RED store for all of our existing customers. We will have a Grand Opening event in a few weeks but you can drop by starting tomorrow.

The Manhattan RED store plans to offer services that include:

  • Full inventory
  • Demos
  • RMA and Camera Service
  • Upgrades Drop off and Pickup

RED bought a building built in the early 1800s, and refurbished it. “… a restoration began to remove the multiple layers of paint that had been applied to the fa?ade over the decades. Incredibly, when the original red brick was restored, so too was a ghost image of the original painted banner "Grand Street Hall," Land adds. “Look carefully at the building just at the 2nd floor level, and the words "Grand Street Hall" can be discerned in black reverse outline, diaphanous on the brick: a proud building now dwarfed by the surrounding structures, but refusing to let its glorious past be forgotten.”

The RED Store is located at

125 Grand Street
New York, NY 10013
Phone number: 646.455.0873

Store hours … Mon-Friday 10am-6pm

RED plans to have a grand opening in the next few weeks, but users can start visiting the store beginning today, so you can get your hands on some Scarlet Dragon goodness!
