Jarred Land hat auf Reduser.net soeben eine monochrome Version der Epic-M angekündigt, die auf den Debayeringprzess verzichten soll und somit noch höhere Auflösungen ermöglicht. Betrachtet man die kürzlich vorgestellte ebenfalls rein monochrome arbeitende Leica M Monochrom scheint sich hier ein schwarz-weiß Trend anzukündigen oder ist es einfach nur geschickte Neuvermarktung bereits vorhandener Hardware? Wie dem auch sei - hier das Zitat von Jarred Land zur Red Epic-M Monochrome:
"Epic-M Monochrome.
Newly Developed Mysterium-X Monochrome Sensor.
Native ASA 2000.
Increased net resolution ( Removal of the debayer process, so every single individual pixel is used for luminance / image data )
New Low Pass Filter with to accomodate the reduced pixel pitch ( 1x1 vs 2x2 Bayer )
42.000 Dollar ( brain only ) includes upgrade to Dragon Monochrome Sensor spring 2013.
David Fincher is shooting his current project solely on Epic-M Monochrome cameras as we speak.
Pre-orders open on RED.COM Monday.. Ships October 1st."

Jarred Land zu den Beweggründen für die monochrome Epic-M:
"It is significant to people that live in the B&W world. It is a request that we have had many times over the years just never had the resources to make it a reality.. until now.
Having a dedicated BW camera if you are shooting BW is leaps and bounds better than shooting in color then transferring to BW later. It is why they continue to make BW film. There is no color filters on each of the pixels so you get increased light to each pixel, and there is no debayer process, so you get a much "sharper" image... a better tonal transfer in gradients as there is no interpolation."
"frame rate will be the same.. the output resolution is the same. The difference here is that instead of reading 4 pixels ( RGBG ) to interpolate ( guess ) 4 final color pixels, you are reading 4 unique, accurate imaging pixels to create 4 accurate final pixels. that is why all Bayer Pattern CMOS sensors loose effective resolution, for example our 5K cameras measure an accurate 4K resolution after Debayer, and most 1080p cameras net only an accurate 1.2-1.6k image."
