  • 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 :)

You should do a Black Calibration every time you install a new build.

Remember to use a full battery and make sure you stop down the lens and keep the lens cap ON.

Uh oh, I haven't been doing that, we were never told before. I did it once after Build 13. Did the data stored from the black calibration get lost upon upgrading to build 14?
 
My personal method:
Shoot with Build 14.
CF with a Build 13 backup in my pocket.
(never used)

Skip 14 and go directly to 15 unless it is a critical shoot. If it is, use 13.

Thaks Jim.

I'll do it as you said and go directly to 15.

No any critical shot at the moment fortunately.

No, but there are builds (like 15 & 16) where a black cal will make a difference. It is always a good idea to do it.

The Red Support page says that a Black Calibration is necessary when going from any build earlier than 12 to any more current build... you're saying that it is a good idea to do it with every install of a new build?

Straight from the man himself so that is what I will do as soon as I get back from visiting ya'll this Friday.

Its mandatory that you do it when going from any build earlier than 12 to any more current build... but yes we are now also saying that it is a good idea to do it after an install of any new build after 12. This will ensure you are getting the maximum image quality out of the camera.
 
How about that! We are EARLY!

Jim
 
120fps, that's pretty cool. Just tried it out, works great.
 
Woot! Nice job on being early :)

I know a good number of DPs who will be very interested to try out the new look management.

Way to go RED!
 
It is really hard to follow the warning "do not use this beta build in production environment" or something like that. Is there anything you know that may be wrong with this build?? I used 14 for 2 commercials and 2 shorts, no big problems! One issue we did have is both of our cameras would not boot up when we hooked up sound to in 1 and 2, not sure if you are aware of this? we had to disconnect then boot then reconnect the sound, no big deal and no more booting problems after that.

Is there any chance of knowing when we may have a "Release" build of 15? Even just a VERY rough time...definately no holding to the date just a loose approx date will do. I know how you have been burnt MANY times before for posting dates so everyone BEWARE only a ROUGH date!
If i have missed it someone apologies and let me know where.
 
Beware rough date... Release Build 15 in 10 days.

Beta Build 16 rough date... 20 days.

Trying to be conservative, but you never know around here...

We test each build extensively within RED, of course. But you always want a phased approach via beta so feedback can be gathered from hundreds of users testing that beta build. You can never have too many eyes on this. We would not even get to the beta push if we "knew" something was wrong....

Since we don't have any "paying" jobs at the moment, we'd be happy to early test beta build 16. I'm just saying...

Wow...i mean shit...wow. Great news Jim, quick turn-around time. You guys have really ramped up everywhere havn't you. Yet another thumbs up from me anyway, you must be getting tired of being slapped on the back by now. A nice cold beer awaits you in Australia when you want it!

No, we are not tired of being slapped on the back. We get plenty of being slapped in the face, so this is a nice offset. :-)

Nothing but thanks

Jim,

I have to say that I've never seen a manufacturing company treat their customers as well as Red does. I received my camera a few days ago, and I am blown away at the value Red offers. This constant improvement to the camera's firmware at no charge to the customer is unprecedented.

The direct communication that Red has with its customer base is fantastic.

The Red One is a killer artistic tool, and I truly appreciate the hard work, and hard decisions that shape the evolution as it moves forward.

Jim you are a brave man... after all the noise around here when estimated dates end up changing, I really didn't expect to see any numbers mentioned! But it will be a welcome day, whenever it arrives.
