[Paul Hazlett]

Thats one hell of a list. Busy little Red Beavers aint ya!!!

looking forward to it, thanks

[Chris Bell]

Great to see the view bug has been resolved. Has Red Space been modified?

Can we get a technical explanation of the MAX setting?

[Matthew Verkler]

Looks great. Question: Does the "MAX" mode increase image quality over Build 16, or does having the "MAX" mode off decrease quality compared to what we have now? How much longer are the decode times, for example 1.5X or 2X and so on?

Thanks!

EDIT: Spotshooter beat me to it.

I couldn't understand it ?? what it will help

[Evin Grant]

This all rocks! Great work guys!

OK, now that the info can be turned off in the EVF do you think you could get the Record "Dot" and/or the TC/Clip Name out on the HD-SDI?

We lost a key shot yesterday because the record button was double pressed. Also the Script Sups. are dying without the TC/Clip name on the tap.

Again, great job!

Is it possible to go back to the release B16 from Beta 17?
