Any word on when the new firmware comes out?

[BrandonChristensen]

Jarrod said the frame rates and phantom power would be coming 'in two weeks' two weeks ago.

Do we know when?

[Josh Negrin]

I think we're all excited about it. Unfortunately I haven't seen any new information regarding the release date, so hang in there. Keep checking back, I suppose.

[Trevor Meeks]

Would you like them to rush or would you rather wait and have them turn out a great firmware update with as few bugs as possible?

... just sayin'

It'll happen when it happens.

[Mark Kern]

Fewer bugs, and right away! :)

Sorry, you asked.

[Nick Mahar]

I thought he said 2-3 weeks?

Related but somewhat off-topic: does anyone know if this new FW will fix the black bars via HDMI/HD-SDI? If so I am about to pull the trigger on an outboard recorder.

That's was one the big features in this release. Also Atomos is supposed to release 3.0 which is supposed to add the ability to record the same file names as on the RED.

Good stuff. Thanks Bob.

Peter, that statement looks creepy next to your M.J. thumbnail avatar ...
