CF Cards

CF Cards

Didn't I read that B16 would allow CF cards to record 16:9 Redcode 36 or was I dreaming?

That was a comment made about the new RED custom 16GB CF card. Exact capabilities still being worked through.
 
Escargot....thanks

how can you tell whether it's using single or dual link?

Argghhh!

Argghhh!

Arghhh! I'm out of town on business and my Red One is back at my studio all alone and practically starving to death subsisting on the evaporating water and disintegrating crumbs of build 15. Oh that I had "Back to My Mac" for my Red One so I could upgrade it remotely!

Greg, I almost didn't even know it was you posting with that new avatar.

Sorry, back on track.

Still trying to absorb all of the new stuff, but upgrade seems to have gone smoothly.

Thanks Jim!

Sorry if this has been asked and answered already, but will the new quicktime component support 16:9 proxies now from previous builds?

Yes it does
 
I just upgraded to B16 today and there are a few things I would like to see. In false color mode can the greyscale on the side be replaced by a color IRE value chart. Brightest value color on top. Darkest color value on the bottom. I would also like the opportunity to have false color as well as edge highlight for focus. As of now I have to switch between the two in a long menu setting process. I like the scroll wheel menu with the viewfinder. I would like an added selectable item to scroll through view modes, rec 709, redspace, linear.

One thing i noticed with B16 is my viewfinder doesn't strobe, which is great, but it doesn't have the range it had. Highlights look weird and the top three-four white values in the vertical greyscale are indistinguishable along with the bottom two values. The LCD looks great. Too bad the EVF looks worse. I tried adjusting the dark detail but anything above 2% doesn't make a difference and if you go below 2% the image doesn't get any more lattitude, it just looks washed out.

Thats two things - first the default was changed from SYNC to FIXED refresh, and the second is a bug in Beta B16 where the camera can send the wrong gamma setting to the RED-EVF at boot up. That's being addressed right now.

Which QT proxy is used to play 1080p via dual link?
_M or _F or something else?

I would imagine the camera is referencing the r3d file, not the proxy?

Would waiting to plug in the evf until after boot up help for now? You said "CAN send the wrong gamma" so I assume it doesnt happen always... Dont know since I havnt tried B16 yet. Installing tonight. Been waiting for Redline and now it's here :)

Maybe. It should be resolved in the next version of Beta Build 16 anyway.
 
Got an ETA on that new build? Wink wink.

I reiterate. Please do the color values in place of the greyscale when in false color mode. Also, add a view tab for quick change of redspace, rec 709, linear, to the viewfinder speed menu thing. Does it have a name yet?
