  • 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 :)

25 fps at 3K in HDRX missing in latest firmware?

cause i'm pretty sure i had that feature before 3.2.16....

is it only me? anyone else noticed?

I loved HDRX at 3K, was just starting to get used to it

the local summer light is harsh...

and shooting 24p is not an option

a bug? a mistake in the firmware? or gone forever?

Never noticed it before but the max frame rate at 3K is 48fps. Which would make the max frame rate at 3K with HDR, 24fps.
 
I'm keen for 3K 25p HDRX too as I live in PAL-land but as far as I know it hasn't arrived yet. I'd be keen to know if you discovered it in a previous build.

Click to expand...

had to go back and find some files...
but seems I was wrong


i had my framerate on 25
and recorded frames at 24

:(

hope it works someday.

Has never existed until now, but as a European user I still hope they can squeeze this out of the electronics…
 
of course they can. but i'm pretty sure they won't. The Bitrate is exactly halved of that of the EPIC which seems volountarily, not technical.
 
I'm also still hoping to see 25fps HDRx at 3K as that was the official specification when I bought my camera. And if not at 3K then at the very least at 3K HD or 2.5K.
 
To be honest, i'm in PAL-land, but i don't understand the urgency of this request. Whats the big problem with PAL? Speed it up, like it has been done for decades with film. Maybe RED should build that into RCX. Only PAL TV and DVD need those framerates, everything else can use 24p, 30p, 60p. And doesn't shooting in PAL speed produce problems with international markets? I see only one real reason to support 25p/50p and thats for live-tv, but honestly, i don't see scarlet as a perfect live-cam. I'm just interested to hear why you pros really need 25p. ;)

It's about time to allow more framerates in the next DVB-standards, limiting european digital tv only to PAL-speed was a big mistake...

BTW, there has been talk about a HDRx-update in the future, which would allow to enable HDRx without sacrificing framerate. This could give us 4k 25p HDRx... We just have to wait. ;)
