Today at IBC 2009, RED made several announcements as well as showed a nearly complete EPIC prototype with accessories.

As posted online by Jim Jannard:

"RED is announcing the addition of several new pieces to the EPIC and Scarlet modular system.

1. The new Bomb EVF. 1/3 the size and weight of the original EVF with improved image quality. Can be used with EPIC, Scarlet or RED ONE systems.

2. A new EPIC/Scarlet OVF (optical viewfinder) module is in development.

3. New rods/rails, base plate and handheld system.

4. New battery technology that works in the accessory side handle and/or battery modules. You can also use RED Bricks with EPIC and Scarlet.

5. New types of flash memory recording modules along with CF card modules.

6. New Pro I/O module.

7. New LCDs, including two touch screen versions.

These are all in addition to the Mysterium-X sensor program that has significantly more dynamic range, higher useful ISO, and less noise than the RED ONE Mysterium sensor.

The EPIC and Scarlet system share all modules and are independently upgradeable. Upgrade only what you want/need as technology advances.

EPIC-X is 5K at 100fps with REDCODE 250. 4K and Quad HD at 125fps. 3K at 160fps. 2K at 250fps."

Here are some more photos coming in from IBC '09.

Notice EPIC-X's finished design compared to the protos shown at NAB a few months back. Also, the REDMote is functional as is the new EVF (REDSight).

This Camera is going to be even more revolutionary that the RED ONE.

I see RED EPIC-X as being remembered in the future as the Camera that really changed everything. This is really something special...
