  • 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 :)

RELEASED: Release Build 20 Firmware (v20.1.3)

Power off

Power off

Will Red be able to change the power-off button functionality, so that it requires confirmation of power down?

I have seen a few people ask for this now, and I hoped it would be in Build 20. But it isn't.

It is far too easy to accidentally press the black button :-(

We looked into that as a potential upgrade. Unfortunately it's not possible to implement via firmware.

This is why I always use side record.

I pretend there is no record button on the back of the camera.

We're anxious to move into Build 20 but would very much like to know if the Birger Mount lens data is working with this release.

Yes it does. When you upgrade to build 20 toggle the S4i in the menus and wait a few seconds and the lens data will appear on the screen.

You can boot up the camera having the Birger power cable in the aux port with out any problems. At least in my case, haven't had any problems in powering up the camera. Notice that if there's a failure in the lens data, you won't get the lens data back without rebootiing. So, if you don't get the lens data after upgrading, switch the S4i option on and reboot while keeping the Birger power cable connected to the camera.
 
I would like to test the camera after installing the new build.
Which kind of test I have to do in your advice?
thanx

Thank you enormously Lauri. Excellent to hear this; I'll upgrade this morning.
 
Upgraded to build 20 and the Birger lens data works perfectly. Thanks again Lauri. Think I'll go shoot something now.
 
Feature request

Feature request

We've been running 20.1.3 for 3 days now, and the only problem I have seen is "SATA error" during playback one time and during record one time. I changed the battery and restarted the camera and no more problems.

I have a small feature request:
To be able to route audio inputs to more them one audio track. Then you can have a hi gain on one channel and a low gain on the second channel as bakup.

..and I think Redalert is behaving wrong if you shoot using RAW view mode, and then make a adjustment in Redalert and then re-open same file, the adjustment is double applied.
 
Having great success with 20.1.3. Shot 5 cameras for 2 nights straight and only had a single issue with a single camera.

At the end of a 70 minute take (proxies definitely OFF) it just locked in POST for about 15 minutes, after which we had to cut the power to prepare for the next show.

We got everything except the last R3D, which is obviously corrupt, so it plays fine, just cuts off a few minutes early.

Is this more likely to be a drive issue or camera issue?

Everything else perfect so I'm extremely happy with the reliability.
 
The look, colours and image quality are georgious with the new build. Simply stunning. Yeah, one hickup with my camera on the shoot :incazzato: , but otherwise, as Jim said, smooth sailing and great footage.
 
Just looking at your camera from last night now Pawel, those Master Primes certainly sing! :yikes:

Only lost the last couple of minutes of encore, but we have it from four other angles, plus the night before so we are well and truly covered.

If you turn off the "Make QT Proxies" option, that issue won't ever happen. Also, you may be able to recover those last few minutes using RedUndead.
 
It was turned off. Post should have taken a second or two. We are sending the log file to Stuart to have a look at.
 
Me too. Luckily it only happened once. For the second show we intentionanally shot for an extra 10 minutes after the end, so if the post issue happened again, and we lost the final R3D, it would be well after the end of the show. Was fine though, didn't happen again.

REDundead may be able to pull out the last missing R3D.
