  • 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 :)

Beta Camera Build 3.2.8

Will Keir said:
I'm surprised no one else asked about this feature yet, it must be really simple.

Could someone explain the new feature:

* Added Post Record Fan Delay (max 1 minute)

Thanks

You can now delay when the fans kick back to preview mode after you finish recording. It's useful on multi-camera shoots when dealing with audio.

Same problem here. When I hit record I am told to contact Red support and forced to shut down. Bummer. Time to roll back.

+1 downloaded twice. Upgraded twice by the book (second time with force_upgrade folder). All the new features are there but every time I hit record....Crash.... Error:0x0000001e Please save log and send to RED support.. Shutdown. Every speed, quality, format etc. I tried a dozen combinations. Thats why they call it Beta. All the others have been so rock solid. It may take the guys a little longer but this one will be too. I'll drop back to v3.0.7 until it squared away.
 
Is phanton power enabled as Jarred stated or is the information on Red.com (Phantom power disabled) right?

I am thrilled with the new build but was really hoping Prerecord would be included. I know there are not a ton of wildlife people using Epics but Prerecord is really, really important to us.

There are more every day - and the BBC Natural History Unit has started buying Epics. I also know of two long term (2 years +) wildlife features that are being shot on Epics - pre-record is something we'd all REALLY appreciate.

Thanks Mr. Bied.

from what I read earlier on this thread, the phantom power is enabled to power your mics now.

Had the same here, but solved it the following way:

- restore to factory settings
- remove the first profile in the profiles list (red factory)
- reboot

Problem solved here.

Cheers,
Martin

with the beta firmware (3.2.8) it is enabled - of course you have to dial it in the first time you use it in the audio settings - but it's there and it's working (for me)...
still not enabled with the release version (3.0.7) as far as I know - but if you need it just go with the beta; a rollback to the release version should be no problem if something goes wrong.
 
I can't get the REDMote Upgrade utility to install. I tried extracting with Windows native decompression and 7-zip and the result was the same both ways. I get a big red X with a popup saying:

Error opening file for writing
C:\Program Files (x86)\REDmote\linux.inf
Click to abort . . .

This is my first attempt to install it because I just received my REDMote a week ago. For kicks I tried the utility for version 2.0.12, and it did not install either. I'm on Windows 7/64 bit.
 
I had the same problem (same Win7/64bit). I don't have a fix. I just went to another Win7/64bit computer and it installed there. I just haven't trouble shot it yet.

Not much help I know but you are not alone in that problem.

Right click and "run as administrator". Who knows, it might be a permissions thing.

Redmote is now showing signal strenght in colors red, yellow, green.

I have green color with 5 bars only when my Redmote is 10cm from camera. If it's further, it's with 4 bars and it's yellow ...

Signal strenght is poor. Is it SW issue or antena problem?

I found PLC Range Extender, but I don't want to pay $350 for extra antena and I'm not sure about voiding warranty too :-(

Confirmed. I tried a number of Redlink channels, but my signal strength indicacator turns red (1 bar) whenever my Redmote is farther than 1m from the camera.
 
Jarred, please, implement /i lens data critical focus distance (http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?69319)
should be simple enough math to do, no?

Also, RedMote firmware update removes Focus Dist [m/f] and displays a number, same for aperture display (no decimal, as in 30 instead of 3.0 and 226 instead of 22.6).
Camera: when my default RC is 8:1 and I change framerate to some crazy slo-mo RC changes (though not in all combinations of project res/RC/sensor frames) by it self (nice!) but does not always reflect that, sometimes shows 8 still. After I record in slo-mo with e.g. RC12:1 (forced) and go into playback and display metadata it shows RC8:1 sometimes, my default setting.

that's what I noticed so far
 
Thanks to the whole team for the update - some really great added features. Does anyone have an idea when time lapse will be enabled? It's something I used a lot with the Red One and I miss it :-)
cheers

I'm not sure if this has been posted, I noticed this on my Scarlet with Beta 3.2.8

Lets say you setup the fan to delay 10 seconds after record stop, then run a long take. The fan will come on automatically once the temp gets high enough, which is expected. If you cut the shot at that point however, the fan will then stop blowing for a few seconds even though the core temp is very high. It would seem likely that you'd want the fan behaviour to override the delay preference in instances where the camera gets very hot.
