Calibration related I think. The major questions are when was the last time you ran a Sensor Calibration and if recent, was it in fairly different temperature conditions.

I agree about stills. With Ghostframe in it's current implementation though you should not have flicker. That is adjustable via Ghostframe itself.

At the moment it's the same shutterspeed on both tracks, but you can tune Ghostframe to be "no visible flicker". That was one of the things I was testing. Essentially having magenta and green on each signal, what our eyes see can be either "white" or a single color depending on how you set...

Refreshing as this is much of what I've been up to for the past few weeks and CVP is right where I am with X essentially:

Will very much depend on each shot and how you use it. If you're filming at ISO 800, you're already getting around 8 stops above 18% gray. With Extended Highlights you're getting an additional 3 stops or so above that. If you want to "stress test it", bring you're ISO down to say 250 where...

A few people who already got the camera are missing the rather large beta note on Extended Highlight Mode. V-Raptor X Global Shutter and Phantom Track work in "everything" as of now. Extended Highlights requires 3rd parties to implement the SDK, which hasn't happened yet. REDCINE-X PRO does...

V-Raptor X can go to 1/5.99 as of right this second. I've mentioned a few times about why I think it's difficult to produce longer exposure times on fast readout and global shutter sensors. But if RED does implement it somehow, it would probably be 1 second max exposure like DSMC2. I think...

Phantom Track So today I spent some time at ROE testing this new feature. I'm writing about it here, because this workflow will 100% be new to people. How Phantom Track works in camera is when enabled, it halves your max frame rate and is recording two separate streams back to back. You get...

Anything Beta, just requires you to search for Beta. GIOSCOPE is in current Raptor builds and for a while, so it should be in your VRX. DSMC3 has a switch heavily inspired by the Jetpack for DSMC2. If you set it to on and send power to the camera, it boots up. If you pull power, it shuts...

There is no rolling shutter on the camera with or without EH. But you do have a faster exposure time with the EH data, which is why they are doing their temporal method of processing to combat some of the potential motion blur related issues during fast movement. The curious thing for me is...

Between pre-pro, meetings, and a somewhat hectic week I finished up the rest of my boring tests. It's raining hard in LA at the moment, but just to chat about V-Raptor X a bit and some of the things I've been tinkering with. Global Shutter Did some fun rigging for handheld as the camera...

You need to toggle on the colors in the GIOSCOPE menu. They are disabled by default.

To the point of the current slowest shutter speed/angle/integration time. Several of us have certainly requested it as something to tackle via firmware upgrade. But, I do truly think there are layers of complication here related to sensor calibration, sensor calibration optimized speed, and...

I think the proper way to use Extended Highlights is to use it when you need or want to. Yeah, you can leave it on, but it's fairly trivial to toggle it on and off and see if your are clipping or not. It's a toggle and not rebooting the camera or anything. On most features I've worked on...

Yes, it's sort of like HDRx in general method, but with the addition of utilizing extra frames, some internal, and external processing. And I think the core reason this works so well is with the Global Shutter it's actually instantaneously reading the entire next frame. It is still capturing...

So cool workflow stuff. Yes. When you have a shot withe Extended Highlights enabled, then toggle it off, the exports are the same speed as "without enabled". It is about a 3X hit when left on during export. Yes, I agree. Some will likely get a bit reckless with it. But this is one of...

I might do that. I did a bunch of this when V-Raptor (rolling) was released in 2021. And yes, I am somebody who didn't sell my Monstros as it's the most flexible system and easy to turn that sucker into an IR or Full Spectrum camera.

You are correct in terms of "yep, weird things happen when too fast". RED is allowing use to export both slices and you can tend to matching blur in those extreme scenarios. Also, this is beta, so they themselves might be able to add some logic. Not so strangely, this is something I can see...

I did a full -8/+8 swing, it is staggering particularly on the +7 image to toggle Extended Highlights on and off. I don't want to sensationalize this as you will clip on shiny objects depending on light intensity, but +7 is essentially ISO 6.25. I think this is a rather extreme scenario, but I...

Yes. I don't think V-Raptor X is losing any ground on this front based on this evenings tests. The difference is so slight, you wouldn't be able to tell which you were looking at essentially. Thinking more broadly and yes, especially revealed in the most recent CAS, and for those who ran...
