Cameras: News and Updates

(Hollywood, Calif.)(November 3, 2011) � RED Digital Cinema has officially released its third industry-changing camera, the Scarlet-X. With burst modes up to 12 fps at full 5K resolution alongside 4K motion capture from 1-30 fps, the camera allows professional photographers and cinematographers to simultaneously capture motion footage and still content. Never miss a shot. Ever. Scarlet-X�s compact design, endless modularity and advanced feature set provide a future-proof solution catering to every shooter�s needs, leaving one-dimensional DSLRs and 1080p camcorders in its wake. Priced at under $10,000, Scarlet-X advances RED�s vision to democratize superlative cinema and professional photography.

Scarlet-X comes standard with a Canon EF or PL mount, which can be swapped easily using Scarlet-X�s interchangeable lens mount system. Panavision, Anamorphic, and Nikon lenses are also compatible with the camera, providing ultimate freedom when it comes to creative decision-making. The addition of HDRx reaches up to 18 stops of dynamic range, bringing digital images closer than ever to the natural perception of the human eye.

With the innate ability to capture 5K REDCODE RAW stills and true 4K motion footage, Scarlet-X produces visually lossless files that can easily be graded and finished. Combining all of the finest qualities of cinema and photography into one camera, Scarlet-X allows the customer to have the best of both worlds. Compromise nothing. Shoot everything.

�The future is dependent on those who push� not those who react,� said Jim Jannard, founder of RED Digital Cinema.

RED is now taking orders on RED.com for Scarlet-X.
