I understand the pipeline may be different. But I still don't understand why that would require a hard reboot. There are many cameras which don't require a reboot when switching from RAW to various compressed codecs. Why would RED in particular require this frustrating limitation?

If Red can record R3D and ProRes proxy formats at the same time, why do other ProRes formats require a reboot? It would be really nice if we could switch without a reboot. Does anyone know why that particular requirement exists? Is it something that could possibly be changed with firmware?

By way of update - RED was quick to get me sorted out. They overnighted my old camera back to RED HQ, and issued a warranty replacement which was overnighted to me. All told it was 8 days from when I reported the issue to when I had my replacement camera. I'd say that's quite good. While I...

There’s already a credit card linked to my account. And I pointed that out to them. They still demanded the signed authorization before they’d give me the RMA. It’s unsettling but I have no other choice. They’re at least relatively fast at responding, but that CC thing bothers me.

I don't have a problem that they want to evaluate it. I have a problem that they want me to sign over a blank credit card authorization BEFORE that evaluation.

And ... lest you think I'm just being super picky and this isn't a practical problem ... the first time I noticed the issue was during this shoot, where it ruined the skin tones of my subject. I kept looking from my monitor to the live subject, where the blotchiness was NOT physically present or...

Just by way of update: My mistake on the log file. I extracted it and sent it to RED. This issue is not media or power related. I can power it via mains, and remove media entirely, and still see this issue live on the DSMC3 monitor. This issue is not related to file format or compression...

I did send the R3D snaps to RED. I don't have a log file - I ran a hard restore as per RED's online troubleshooting recommendations. Also as mentioned above, this can't be a calibration problem. I had just run a sensor calibration. It was performed maybe 10 minutes before those problematic...

Also, I can see the green banding in REDCINE-X as well, so definitely nothing to do with Resolve.

Hi Phil, yes I'm already on tetrahedral interpolation. It's not that. As for Mark's suggestion, as mentioned I just did a sensor calibration, so it's not black shading.

Hi Phil, thanks for your help. Here are two snapshots ... I think. I rarely use REDCINE-X, I'm more of a Resolve guy. So I had to figure out how to export those. https://www.nicksalazar.com/files/rainbow.zip

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a problem with my V-Raptor X and I wonder if anyone here has seen it or can help diagnose. I've also reached out to RED, but haven't heard back yet. It appears that the camera wants to pour a very weird green cast, just at specific brightness levels. I've...

Another mod - designed a new top handle. At 73 grams it’s less than a third of the Komodo top handle, but still strong enough to support 100+ lbs of static load. I might be the only guy holding a $30k camera with a few grams of plastic filament, but it works for me.

My latest mod - I tapped two M4 threaded holes into the front face of the DSMC3 Monitor bridge. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but actually it was very straightforward. The walls are thick enough, there's plenty of interior room and there's nothing for the screws to interfere with in the...

Here's my relatively pointless but very cute unboxing and first rigging video. If you're into that kind of thing, here it is:
