![](http://www.actionproducts.ch/images_test/logo.png)
Introducing the modular solution for the EPIC from ActionProducts. This modular system allows operators to add and remove modules using quick release technology to quickly alter functionality on the fly based on their needs. The current modules include the Basic Module “Proteus,” Power Module “Electra,” and Battery Module.
PRE-ORDER 11 - 7 - 11
Basic Module “Proteus”: Its main functionality is to provide the modular line up with quick release functionality. The Proteus will run power to the camera while allowing operators to power their REDMOTE through a 5V connector (optional cable to Mini USB and other connectors). There is also an easy access 3.5mm headphone jack on the top, followed by an additional LEMO connector on the bottom that provides 12V power or (optional) a remote adapter to trigger on/off of the camera ("Schmitt" interface). Quick release power solution
- 5V(internal down conversion from 12V to 5V)
- Charges REDMOTE
- 12V power out (or option for remote camera on/off)
- Mount Battery Module directly or though Power Module “Electra”
- Cheese-plate in production
[URL="http://www.innocinema.com/product_info.php?products_id=161"]TopPlate Module "Apollo":[/URL] Its the ultimate tool for efficiency. With numerous mounting options, it provides both power and video distribution. This allows for easy rigging for all camera accessories and considers all sizes of production with its video I/O. The EPIC TopPlate "Apollo" comes with 3 cables, making it ready to go right out of the box. This plate utilizes a power D-TAP cable, HDSDI BNC cable, and a 4 pin LEMO cable. This allows for the unit to work standalone, or along side our Basic Module “Proteus”.
If used with the “Proteus”, you would just distribute the 3 cords accordingly…
- 3 pin Lemo plugged into the "Proteus"
- HD-SDI BNC ran through the "Proteus" connecting into HDSDI port on the EPIC
- 4 pin Lemo ran through the "Proteus" connecting in the SYNC port on the EPIC
Power Module “Electra”: Its main functionality is to provide a professional power distribution and functionality. The module offers several 12V accessory connections (2x D-Tap (one on the battery plate), 2x LEMO) and a down-converted 24V accessory connection (3pin Fischer RS). Further two external camera power connectors (both in/out power) - these are 1x 4pin XLR and 1x 6pin LEMO (REDone standard). The Electra has a built in puffer battery that can power the camera AND accessories for up to 4 minutes. Allowing hot swap functionality wile the camera (and accessories) keep running. The puffer battery can be manually triggered and automatically switches back to the new battery. It also recharges automatically when a new battery is mounted. The main power button provides "system off" function and switching to the puffer battery.
- 12V Power for the Camera (though basic module Proteus)
- 2x 12V D-Tap out Accessories (one D-Tap on the battery plate)
- 2x12V out (2 or 4 pin Lemo) Accessories
- 1x 24V (regulated Fisher 3 pin) out Accessories
- 24V/3 amp, 12v - all together 3 amp
- 1x in/out 12V camera power 4pin XLR
- 1x in/out 12V camera power 6pin LEMO (REDone) connector with Bat information
- Puffer Battery (can power Camera and Accessories up to 4 min.)
- LED shows when Battery power is low and the operator needs to switch to the puffer-battery
- LED shows when puffer Battery is on or when it is charging.
- Can connect a battery mount directly to Electra (hardwired V-Mount or AB) - or add an Adapter module and then the Battery module (for quick swapping - V-Mount and AB mount available - other to come ...).
Battery Module: Its main functionality is to provide the modular line up with V-mount and Anton / Bauer battery mounting options (others to come ...). This makes operator’s setups flexible to mount to the “Electra or Proteus." They connect without cable directly through the module connectors. The Battery module (and actually also the electra) can be disconnected from the basic from the other modules and reconnected over cables of different lengths. This allows external mounting for counter-weight etc. There will be several mounting options available - 15mm and 19mm rod mounts (with swivel), swivel for the razor shoulder-mount etc.
- Can mount to either the “Electra” or “Proteus”
- Available with V-Mount or Anton / Bauer (others to come ...)
- External mounting options

Hello Everyone!
PRE-ORDER STATUS UPDATE!
- Available first come first serve between end of December 2011- beginning of January 2012
Below are the pre-order packages we offer online in both in North/South America and as well in Europe. Just click on the links to go to the online postings. Also the EPIC and SCARLET have almost the same housing, which means everything we make for the EPIC should work with the SCARLET! Our EPIC Accessories Category is now renamed to EPIC + SCARLET Accessories as everything included in it should work for the SCARLET as well.
EPIC + SCARLET POWER PACKAGES:
Our modular system starts with the
Basic Module “Proteus”: Its main functionality is to provide the modular line up with quick release functionality. The Proteus will run power to the camera while allowing operators to power their REDMOTE through a 5V connector (optional cable to Mini USB and other connectors). There is also an easy access 3.5mm headphone jack on the top, followed by an additional LEMO connector on the bottom that provides 12V power or (optional) a remote adapter to trigger on/off of the camera ("Schmitt" interface). Quick release power solution. Power, Sync, and HD-SDI connections are installed to the bottom EPIC inputs.
Below is how the Basic Module "Proteus" looks by itself. For more details, click the below links.
Basic Module "Proteus" for EPIC/SCARLET in North/South America, Basic Module "Proteus" for EPIC/SCARLET Europe
The Basic Module "Proteus" can have the Battery Module or the Power Module "Electra" directly connected to it... This is to give people the option to buy the whole set up at once or buy just the "Proteus" and the Battery Module, giving the camera basic V-Mount or Anton/Bauer functionality with the ability to grow by adding the "Electra" and other further modules later as needed. This is a modular system that can grow with your production needs.
Below is how the Battery Module looks by itself. For more details click the below links.

If at any point you need more power distribution options, you will need to include the Power Module "Electra" to your set-up. This gives you 12/24 volt power distribution, with battery life LED notifier, and a puffer battery to power the camera and accessories for up to 4 mins between battery changes. Below are the two configurations we sell the "Electra" separately as. The ONLY reason you would buy it separately this way, is if you purchased the "Proteus" separately first and want to upgrade your setup. You NEED the "Proteus" to use the "Electra".
The below "Electra" set-up includes the "Electra" and a quick release plate installed on it so you can attach the Battery Module. You NEED the "Proteus" and Battery Module to make this set-up work. Click on the below links for more details.
Power Module "Electra" + QR Plate for EPIC/SCARLET in North/South America, Power Module "Electra" + QR Plate for EPIC/SCARLET Europe
The below "Electra" set-up includes the "Electra" and V-Mount or Anton/Bauer Plates installed on it (These plates are NOT quick release like the Battery Module). You would buy this option if you didn't have a need for a more modular Battery Module solution and your needs are met with a non quick release V-Mount or Anton/Bauer Plate. You NEED the "Proteus" to make this set-up work.
Please note that if you purchase the "Electra" configured this way and at any point in the future you want to upgrade to use the Battery Module or other added further modules we develop, you will to replace the battery plate with a quick release plate to extend the setups modularity. Click on the below links for more details.
Power Module "Electra" + V-Mount / AB Plate for EPIC/SCARLET in North/South America, Power Module "Electra" + V-Mount / AB Plate for EPIC/SCARLET Europe
Below are some packages we offer with the modules bundled together...
Power Package "Proteus" + "Electra" + Battery Module for EPIC/SCARLET in North/South America, Power Package "Proteus" + "Electra" + Battery Module for EPIC/SCARLET Europe
Power Package "Proteus" + "Electra" + V-Mount / AB Plates for EPIC/SCARLET in North/South America, Power Package "Proteus" + "Electra" + V-Mount / AB Plates for EPIC/SCARLET Europe
If you browse our site (innocinema.com in the USA or actionproducts.ch in Switzerland) you will find more configurations to choose from but I only listed these without the specs because the purpose of this post was to try to give you all a better big picture overview of how these modules work together with the ability to add or take away functionality as needed. I hope it helped. If you want to view more detail and specs, click on the listed links for the online product posting. If you want to talk personally on the phone about it to help clear understanding, please feel free to call me in the USA at 1(910)300-9431. _________________ Justin Goff
