  • 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 :)

Audio and /i Pins Upgrade Program

Just received the email- thanks…

I also read:
“Any BATTERY PLATES (separate, on a RED CRADLE, on a BATTERY BELT CLIP, or RED QUICKPLATE) and CHARGERS that do not have the current gen mating pin assemblies will be upgraded to current generation.!”

What is meant by: “current gen mating pin assemblies” ?

I was told at IBC that there will be soon an upgrade for the BATTERY PLATES that will allow a hot swap with the batteries…

Is this what we will get now?

Don't think it's a hotswap plate. It's probably a fix for the problem where the mating pins making poor contact due to slight tolerance misalignments caused camera shutdowns and/or overheating:

Brent - we are about to make the final payment and take a delivery of the camera - from which date / serial number will the new cameras include the upgrade? I assume all the new cameras are being constructed with new parts, or do I assume too much...? :)

Any camera invoiced on Sep 15, 2008 or after already has the i/pin and audio board upgrades.

You are correct, ericyoung. As it says in the email: "Any BATTERY PLATES (separate, on a RED CRADLE, on a BATTERY BELT CLIP, or RED QUICKPLATE) and CHARGERS that do not have the current gen mating pin assemblies will be upgraded to current generation. This upgrade will provide increased reliability when powering the RED ONE with a RED BRICK".

This free upgrade plus goodies is unprecedented in our industry.

In my very lengthy career I've never encountered a manufacturer even remotely as focused on benefiting the customer.

The fact that this upgrade covers the cost of shipping is absolutely unbelievable.

I don't even inhale the fumes from Kool Aid, but this makes me consider evangelical fervor.

Good shooting and best regards to all,

will we be able to do that sound upgrade in the uk office?

Yes, the entire upgrade program will be done at both the UK and US RED facilities. Initially, UK will not allow in-person dropoffs and will offer no general repair services. Initial launch of UK is UPGRADE PROGRAM ONLY.

Any upgrade facility planned in India ?
 
I'm excited to hear that the CF card readers are all being upgraded.

And if your camera has not been upgraded yet and your 16 GB CF CARDS are ready first, we'll send you the upgraded, 16 GB CF CARD-friendly CF reader/writer with that order :)

Is anything in the RedOne not working yet or all the functions ready?
 
Can you include a facial for Ayoji..every time my dog sees his avatar he tries to hump the monitor.

Thank you! What features are left?:)

I don't know if you're only focusing on the camera electronics with that question, but there's still quite a bit of work to be done on the post solutions, especially the SDK.
 
Hello,

I would also like to request the golden classic SINISTAR .. everytime my camera turns on I want to hear "RRAAAAAWWWWWWWWRRRRRR!!!!!!"

Actually, how about letting us load up our CF cards or hard drives with customized boot and menu sounds? BWAHA!
