Build 17 features...

[Robert Berger]

I can see lots of good reasons for this feature.

IBloom

for the steady low mode i used the red upsite down. A good reason for this feature.

It already is.

The restriction comes when you have both a RED-EVF and a RED-LCD attached, in that case you won't get clip name / timecode on the 720p PVW outputs.

Hey Stuart,

I should have been more clear, that's what I meant. Will there ever be clip name info on the 720 preview when both LCD and EVF are attached?

I'm on a shoot right now and scripty is always yelling to ask the ac what the clipname is because it isn't showing up on the monitor, kind of a mild nuisance, wondering if it's an easy fix or not..

 

[zak forrest]

You can pretty much do this using the EVF wheel right now.

Need it for doing run and gun LCD stuff..

Nope Evin,

You have first to go to system menu, change 4K RC36 to 3K RC28

...plus there are many circomstances we dont use the EVF

clip name info on preview monitor with both LCD and EVF plugged in please.

clip name info on preview monitor with both LCD and EVF plugged in please.

i agree with Zak. The one and only annoyance i had on a recent drama shoot was the fact that with both the lcd and evf running there was no clip name info in the directors monitor for continuety. This meant that we had to take notes of which slates went with each clip number and make sure that they synced up with hers after each set up. the problem would be that often the rec button would get pressed accidentally so we would call that a test. i really want to this info on the directors monitor you would really please a lot of camera assistants and script supervisors/ continuety. try telling the focus puller or grip that they can't use the Lcd because continuety needs the clip numbers and you would look like an idiot.
also the frame markings would save you taping up the monitor. And it doesn't hurt to have an extra pair of eyes to know when you are recording. with out a beep the evf tally light was a big help on this job .

 

[Shawn Nelson]

Wow!! This is awesome, I've ben wanting audio over HD-SDI now!

 

[Kevin Wild]

Excellent news on the 4k HD mode. For people that are going to either use the proxies as finals or use Red Rushes as final file...this is great.

 

[Gunleik Groven]

WOW, so what's 18 like?????


These are cool features.

[Obin Olson]

clip name on monitor if you can please

 

[B. Digital]

as already said before

dont make the color seting afect the monitor output (false color, edge highlight etc)

Added ability to disable GUI elements

It would be really nice to be able to pick your combo to display your GUI.

Since we can only pick two, let's do this.

Let's switch from auto to manual.

LCD+EVF

or

LCD+SDI

This would solved the Scripts Supervisor complaints issues.

They are loud.

That will never happen, there is only one graphic board output on Red one, so one will always see the same image on monitor and EVF/LCD. Epic will solve that.

RED already do this automatically.

Base on first two LCD+EVF if EVF not present then SDI.

Why can't they do it manually?

I am not talking full GUI, just Reel names and time codes, Frame Guides, and Recording indicators.

That would be really nice.

[cinemano]

can someone explain to me the 4K HD? thanks

 

[Philip Powell]

* Added USER KEY function - Ramp, Timelapse

Does this mean that we will be able to trigger a ramp frame rate change by hitting a user key then? And not only through GPI trigger?

 

[Damien Molineaux]

can someone explain to me the 4K HD? thanks

See post #20 :

It's 4xHD(quadHD) so a 1/2 res proxy ends up exactly at 1920x1080.
Also, a full res debayer scaled down to 1920x1080 will use
a 2:1 scale which is generally better than an uneven scale.

I'll add that this allows you to use the File & Transfer plugin in FCP and obtain HD material, since the plugin does 1/2 res only.

Cheers,
Damien

4K HD is a welcome option

4K HD is a welcome option

I have high hopes for the quad HD mode (3840 by 2160), it should provide cleaner scaling and faster workflows for 1080P finishes - thank you Red Team. In some situations the FOV change will be an issue but its hard to get upset about the loss in pixel count between 4K HD and 4K 16:9 when its your option anyway.

I am a big proponent of matching production parameters to planned deliverables and budget/time realities. The 4K HD mode will speed acceptance of "the RED way" into many genres still unable or unwilling to think of the files coming out of the electronic camera on their set as DCN (Digital Camera Negative) - to them its HD. We know its still oversampled (even with the Bayer pattern factor you are still miles ahead of a 1080 native device), the DP knows he can use the storytelling advantages of 35mm-ish DOF control and all the Cine style production techniques/aks his crews are proficient with, etc. Nobody has to explain framing particulars to clients. Post houses are a step closer to their comfort zone. IMHO the availability of this 4K HD mode will accelerate RED acceptance into more of the motion media community.

Can't wait to try the embedded audio via HD-SDI into my AJA io/HD box at video village. Anyone like the idea of single cable 1080P playback with synch audio from camera... :greedy:

 

[SF Geek]

My camera has been working great. The only issues are boot time and initializing which AD's just love to shout out loud and the fact that I can never run my LCD and EVF at the same time because scripty needs the info on the director's monitor. Please make the info switchable. I don't need the timecode info on the EVF or LCD in this case.

 

[Fernando Huszar]

It already is.

The restriction comes when you have both a RED-EVF and a RED-LCD attached, in that case you won't get clip name / timecode on the 720p PVW outputs.

Stuart,
Do you mean that in B17 we'll be able to send frame markers from LCD to the HD-SDI 720p preview output?

 

[eyemark]

would love to have adjustable frame lines, make a box or splitscreen, shoot
3k with S 16 lenses and make my own 16:9 setting etc
