  • 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

Trent Lillehaugen said:
We are currently testing a fix for this problem. If you get this error please go back to the release build for now (3.0.7) until we release a new beta version.

Perfect, thanks!
 
Again, could someone of the RED team tell us if when upgrading to a newer version (like this one) we have to get the sidehandle off?
I've done everything with it and everything worked fine but I'd like to know what's the right way.
Thanx guys

We recommend following the installation instructions found in the readme that is part of the firmware upgrade package. These instructions may change for a given release so it is a good idea to read and follow them each time.
 
Trent,

I did another shoot today and am consistently getting "cannot load clip" errors when entering play back mode on specific clips. I will be able to review all clips except the ones starting with the last clip that has the "cannont load clip" error. Should I send in a camera log file?

Yes, please open a support ticket and send in a log.
 
Silly question but is the Beta version of 3.0.7 the same as the release version? I reverted to 3.0.7 because of issues with the latest build but it was still listed as Beta at the time. Now it has become the release version should I reload my cameras with that?

Anyone?
 
Sorry if this is redundant, but I wanted to get this answered explicitly: Does "external record mode" mean that there is no longer a black border around 1080p output via HDMI or HDSDI? Similarly, is 24Hz enabled on the HDMI out?

I'm considering an ATOMOS Ninja, but only if it's ends up being full 1080p and doesn't require 2:3 pull-down to get from 60-to-24p. Otherwise I'd have to pay 2.5x for a PIX240.

The black border is no longer present for HD modes in 3.2.8.

HDMI 1080p24 is coming soon.

3.0.7 is the release version. I don't believe it was ever released as a beta version (are you thinking of 3.0.6?)

In any case, there is only ever one version of firmware with a given version number. The beta/release status of a version can be changed once it has proven to be stable. That is, if we release version 1.2.3 as beta and then later change it to release there is absolutely no difference in the firmware.

I don't believe that the Ninja will be able to take advantage of the triggering, timecode, file naming and the meta data that the Samurai can do.

Yeah, I thought so... I'm still looking into the Pix, as it would postpone having to get an A-box (or equivalent), assuming you could use the Pix's XLRs and SD pre-amps to feed the camera audio. I just don't know if it will actually work the way I envision (e.g. Pix getting image from camera, camera getting audio from pix, without audio feedback or delays/conflicts of any kind.)
 
Forgive me if this has been answered already, but How does the slate information work in practice. I have upgraded our cameras and entered the slate information, shot a few test clips and I can't see where this information appears at all. Anybody else played with this yet? Love the feature.

For now the slate information is just stored as meta data in the clip. The idea is that you will be able to see/use this information in post.
 
I am using a Panaosonic BT-LH 80w as a monotor wich is working fine now with 720p output but the test colour bars chip and screen menus will not come up .If I go through and change the various drop down menus in the external monitor control my picture goes very funky .Split halfs etc .Ive reloaded the firmware a few times .Any ideas ?

The overlay selection for the monitor currently needs to be set to menu's or overlays in order to view the test charts.

If you get a split screen after changing monitor resolution or frequency a reboot will take care of it. Another workaround is to switch recording formats until the split is resolved. We're aware of this issue and are working on resolving it.
 
Is there a fix for the camera crash / shutdown on record? I got an email about firmware update but I'm stuck on location and can't read the whole thread.
 
With all the help and tips all of you guys provide to RED regarding this new firmware, I really hope that it'll change it's status from "beta" to "release" sooner rather than later.
 
Firmware package not found. What am I doing wrong??? Factory resets, different SSDs, etc... Please PM or email me if willing to help bernardevansdp at gmail
