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

7:40PM John Herrman | 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. galleryPost('redannounce1', 10, ''); More »

Hollywood “Stars” Punk’d Into Going to Scarlet TV Premiere

8:00AM Jason Chen | We weren’t the only ones fooled by LG’s Scarlet TV that masqueraded as a TV series. LG managed to convince Hollywood’s red carpet-loving “starlets” to come out as well, thinking that it was for the premiere of some show made by a Smallville and Sopranos director. We hope attendees got to take home one of these HDTVs, because we’d be pissed if we had to put on pants for nothing. [MavrixOnline via Shiny Shiny]

Scarlet Not a Karate-Kicking Hottie, But a Fat TV from LG

8:05PM Addy Dugdale | Scarlet, that doe-eyed brunette that we all “thought” was the protagonist of a new TV series is actually nothing more than the face of a viral campaign for a new line of TVs from LG. The LCD HD TVs, which range from 32 to 52 inches, have a 50,000:1 contrast ratio, super-fast response time of 4 milliseconds, HDMI 1.3, and 1080p resolution—apart from the smallest model. See what it looks like below. More »

Red Scarlet 3K HD Pocket Pro Camera Under US$3000

3:44AM Matt Buchanan | Red’s pocket-sized professional camera, Scarlet has made its promised debut at NAB, and it is the tiny hotness. It shoots in heady 3k resolution with Red’s new 2/3-inch Mysterium X sensor, shooting from 1-120fps (180fps burst) and up to 100MB/sec REDCODE RAW HD, recording to dual Compact Flash cards. It’s got Wi-Fi control (sweet), and all the necessary ports: HDMI, HD-SDI, Firewire 800 and USB2. The 4.8-inch LCD should be more than adequate on this compact HD shooter. Besides coming with an 8X T2.8 Red zoom lens, it’s compatible with most Red One accessories. Price? We’re hearing under US$3000, set for early ‘09, no pre-orders. But the note that specs and delivery dates could change is a bit ominous, since the Red One saw some delays. [Red, Brochure] More »
