In what is probably the wildest thing I have seen thus far at NAB 2013, RED has built a ridiculous clean room for its engineers to perform Dragon camera builds on the show floor – complete with windows for spectators to watch the magic happen.
For a little background, EPIC and SCARLET owners also have the option to upgrade their cameras’ sensors to the 6K Dragon sensor for around $10k. The upgrade program has finally begun with quite the spectacle here at NAB 2013. The EPIC-M Dragon starts at $29k.

Additionally, RED asks the court to force Sony “to deliver up and destroy all infringing cameras.” Ouch. [click to continue…]
RED has dropped prices on its EPIC, Scarlet and ONE cameras in what seems to be a response to increasing competition in the video markets – although RED tips the reason as lower production costs and improve efficiency.
Here’s how the new pricing breaks down: [click to continue…]
If the RED Scarlet was your dream camera but just out of your reach, you might want to take a look at this deal. While they last, RED is selling several Scarlets for only $7100, which is a significant reduction from the standard $11,900 price point. [click to continue…]
RED’s new Meizler Module features wireless video, audio and timecode transmission, as well as a number of connection options. Additionally, the Meizler Module allows you to use the the REDsync iOS app to control the Scarlet and Epic. [click to continue…]
