  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Fan noise

Fan control

Fan control

This is the Operations Manual commentary about fan speed during record - four setting available. Quiet is the default.


Hot: This setting is most useful in ambient temperatures from 86°F/32°C to 104°F/40C. In this mode, the fan will run at its maximum speed. Other camera cooling precautions may be necessary, such as shading the camera from sunlight and application of a cold gel pack.

Standard: This setting is most useful in production studio conditions from 72°F/22°C to 86F/ 32C. In this mode, the fan will run at half its maximum speed.

Quiet: This setting is most useful in moderate temperature and humidity outdoor conditions up to 72°F/25°C. In this mode the fan will run at one quarter its maximum speed.

Silent: This setting is most useful in production studio conditions up to 72°F/25°C. In this mode, the fan will run at its minimum speed.


You can select any of these under any conditon of course. The camera will warn you if it is getting too hot. It will eventually tell you it will cease recording and shut down in 30 seconds if you totally ignore all the overtemperature warnings.

stuart,

how do these fan settings and speeds apply to the camera during record and non record modes? do the fans turn off completely during record, do they stay on at the selected speeds or is that another option that is only overrun during extreme heat conditions? the last thing i heard was that the fans are off during takes but these settings seem to suggest that they are always on at least some speed.

When you factor in your ambient noise environment these last two settings - Quiet and Silent mean just that...

I listened to the RED cameras on the booth at IBC and the fan noise didn't seem too high. I think for documentary work your primary concern will be changing batteries without having to turn the camera off. Oh - and switching CF cards.

Somebody posted his batt lasted about 2hrs. More than I thought they would.
Regarding the noise on IBC: The base noise level on that exhibit is so high that I really have to doubt your impression! (Or your ears :clown2: )

Doubt all you want. I put my ear up to the camera's base... like an inch away from it and I was happy about what I heard (or didn't hear).
