Red\u00a0Digital Cinema has released the Scarlet-X professional video camera with Canon EF or PL mount. With burst modes up to 12 fps at 5K resolution and 4K video from 1-30 fps, it enables users to capture motion footage and still content simultaneously. Available for pre-orders, the basic kit (which is primarily the body, or as Red calls it “The Brain”) is priced at $9750 while the Scarlet-X AL Canon Mount Package is priced at $14,015 and includes such essentials as a power adaptor, a 5″ touch LCD, and a hand grip.<\/p>\n
Launched the same day as Canon’s new EOS C300 Digital Cinema Camera, clearly the folks at Red have put some thought into their spec-list and price point. Whether an amateur or professional film-maker should use the C300 or Scarlet (or perhaps Canon’s forthcoming 4K DSLR) will become an interesting debate in the coming year.

SCARLET. ALL GROWN UP<\/p>\n
SCARLET-X aluminum Canon EF mount package includes everything you need to start shooting. Made in the\u00a0USA.<\/p>\n
RED\u00a0STUDIOS\u00a0HOLLYWOOD, Hollywood, Calif., November 3, 2011 \u2013\u00a0RED\u00a0Digital Cinema has officially released its third industry-changing camera, the\u00a0Scarlet-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\u2019s compact design, endless modularity and advanced feature set provide a future-proof solution catering to every shooter\u2019s needs, leaving one-dimensional DSLRs and 1080p camcorders in its wake. Priced at under $10,000, Scarlet-X advances RED\u2019s vision to democratize superlative cinema and professional photography.<\/p>\n
Scarlet-X comes standard with a Canon EF or PL mount, which can be swapped easily using Scarlet-X\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
With the innate ability to capture 5K\u00a0REDCODE\u00a0RAW\u00a0stills 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe future is dependent on those who push\u2026 not those who react,\u201d said Jim Jannard, founder of\u00a0RED\u00a0Digital Cinema.<\/p>\n
RED\u00a0is now taking orders on\u00a0RED.com\u00a0for Scarlet-X.<\/p>\n
Since delivering their first camera \u2013 the\u00a0RED\u00a0ONE\u00a0\u2013 in 2007,\u00a0RED\u00a0Digital Cinema has jumped ahead of the pack over camera companies that had dominated the market for decades. Feature films shot with\u00a0RED\u00a0cameras such as the Academy Award-winning movie \u201cThe Social Network\u201d and the more recent \u201cContagion\u201d have contributed to a lineage of cinematic success. Since the 2011 introduction of\u00a0DSMC\u00a0(Digital Still & Motion Camera) technology, photography icons like Bruce Weber, Greg Williams and Inez + Vinoodh have used\u00a0RED\u00a0cameras to shoot covers and spreads for the some of the most influential fashion magazines in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
