Image Rotation/Flip (SDI/HDMI out)

[Paul Thompson]

Having some way, as you did on the Red One, to flip the image would be very helpful for onset monitoring, as often the Video Assist will not have the expensive switcher or Qtake software to instantly make a switch when jumping back and forth between Steadicam modes, or when shooting 3D in a mirror rig.

Thanks,

Paul

Yes, the AJA HI53D is an option, but also adds delay, and some genlock issues.

I use the HI5 3D, and although great for flipping / rotating etc, the latency is enough to throw audio far enough from video on set that its difficult to follow action live and view onset all at once (at least in a directorial sense, not so much for straight monitoring of the shot).

Sure would be great to be able to flip the image on the RED EVFs and LCDs to facilitate mounting options...

It's an internal option on the R1. I think (though I am not sure) that the resulting file is also flipped/flopped. It would be nice to have the same feature in the Epic.

It's coming.
