RED and the iPhone

[Shawn Booth]

Okay. I've read it a ton on the boards...
So, I jump on a plane and come to Maui to shoot for this doc we're working on and my phone dies out on location. So I plug it into the camera and nothing.
Now, I'm okay if I'm just a temporary idiot cause I tried based on the numerous posts stating you could. But if you can't, sucks I fell for it. If you can, HOW FOR THE LOVE OF RED??!?!

Hunh?

Hunh?

What in the hellz are you talking about?

 

[Joe Vinson]

What he means is: the iPhone is charged by a USB cable, and the RED has a USB port. So in theory... you could use the camera's batteries to recharge your iPhone. But if you tried it and it didn't work, I dunno.

Okay. I definitely want iPhone charging capability on my Red. Perhaps quicktime proxy transfer from CF or Red Drive to the iPhone if possible. J/K about the latter request...well...maybe not.

I was hoping this would be about my dream of having my iPhone control the Epic and Scarlet via WiFi. Even if it was just a remote start/stop.

I'd like to have mind control over RED One's interface.

The USB power output appears to be disabled in build 15. My USB lens lights and iPhone cables no longer work with the current build.

[Shawn Booth]

USB power working for me on 15.

That's odd... I've tried it on at least ten cameras with no luck.

That said, I have noticed that more and more cameras behave differently with build 15. Some will have active HD-SDI outputs during boot [sometimes as quickly as 15 seconds after pushing the power button] and some won't show an image until the camera is fully booted. Some will show an image during a card reformat while some will not. There are a handful of different little differences like this between different cameras. I expect it has to do with camera circuitry subrevisions, but who knows...

Yea, mine has a signal almost immediatly on reboot from HD-SDI.
