Does switching resolution throw the screen into a panic?

[Neil Cronin]

When I switch resolutions on my Scarlet, my monitor looks like this. There is ~1 second of completely scrambled video. Is this normal? It's fine if it is normal, I've just seen footage of folks changing resolutions without this scrambled monitor.

Sounds normal, I get about a 1 second squishy thing when i go back and forth between 4k & 5k. Also if i go back and forth on 5k to 4k, while flipping back and forth on hdrx - sometimes gets a bit longer (i turn the camera off and on, and things are back to normal).

Normal.

Since there are probably going to be a lot of new Scarlet and Epic users at these new prices, I think Red should quickly build into build 4 a black screen with red text "please wait' instead of the scramble. I'm sure that throws a lot of people the first time they see it.

I thought this was odd but since it didn't cause any issues I never worried about it. But I agree with Louis, there should be something in the next build that is not as wacky.

Very unlikely to happen - the disturbance is due to the monitor having to lock up to a different resolution. That can't happen instantaneously. A black caption screen would just delay the lock up to a new resolution.
