RED Unloads Modular Cameras, a DSLR, 3D and 28k

Posted by John Herrman at 7:40 PM on November 13, 2008

Rumours of a RED DSLR had been confirmed a long time ago, but what of the Scarlet and EPIC übercamcorders? On the REDUser forums, RED CEO Jim Jannard has explained it all: Scarlet and EPIC are the DSLR — all cameras are "part of the same DSMC system", so each and every camera will be part of a modular, build-your-own, still and video product line based on the Scarlet and EPIC 'Brains'. To do this, RED has furnished an insanely diverse new collection of components, with sensors ranging from the $US2500 3k Scarlet to the $US55,000, 28k EPIC 617 Mysterium Monstro.

RED Re-Teases Nov 13 Announcement With Camera Ports, More Hyperbole

Posted by Jack Loftus at 5:30 AM on November 10, 2008

In case you forgot there's a big RED announcement happening this week on November 13, RED CEO Jim Jannard is again lighting up the RED User forums with another cryptic tease. Saying nothing more than "Not sure what this means..." the outspoken exec lets fly some ports for the company's upcoming übercamera. As CrunchGear rightly notes, we're probably looking at two XLR ports, video outs and a proprietary connector. We'll know all on Thursday. [RED User via Crunch Gear]

RED Teases Nov 13th Announcement With Cryptic Renders, More Hyperbole

Posted by John Herrman at 9:24 PM on November 3, 2008

RED CEO Jim Jannard is either an incredible visionary or prone to serial exaggeration. Just yesterday, he deigned to visit the RED forums, promising that "[RED is] doing things we never thought possible... When we do post, it will be very obvious why we needed a bit more time to 'spill the beans'." As a teaser, he decided to spill two of those beans early, in the form of vague, zoomed-in renders of RED's new HIV-curing, hunger-ending, climate-stabilising übercamera.

Dell XPS One 24 Updates Graphics Card, Enlarges Screen, Fights AIDS

Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 2:00 PM on October 30, 2008

Dell has come out with an update to its XPS One computer system, making it generally bigger and more powerful than the previous iteration. The XPS One 24 now comes with a 24-inch 1080p display, JBL speakers and subwoofer, an Intel Core 2 quad core processor, and an NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card. A Vista Home Premium version starts at $US1,699 and a Vista Ultimate begins pricing at $US2,299. If you buy the (PRODUCT)RED version, you'll be donating either $US50 or $US80 (depending on configuration) to the fight against AIDS. Of course, you could also fight AIDS by donating directly to charities rather than engaging in feel-good consumerism, but then you'd actually be Red... you know, in that (shudder) distribution of wealth sense.

Red Scarlet Cam Replaced With a 'New Vision'

Posted by Sean Fallon at 3:30 AM on September 24, 2008

Red's Jim Jannard has told fans in the RedUser forums to "Wipe your minds of the past announced Scarlet. Forget the design and forget the price. It is all different now. We think you will be surprised." In his words, "the market has changed and we have discovered a lot of things in the process. We have a new vision." So it is not as though the Scarlet cam has been scrapped—what we are talking about here is a ground up redesign that should be a positive thing for consumers. That having been said, the RED EPIC is going to receive a similar treatment as well.
