  • 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

I found an interesting bug just now...

I was using the jog dial on the REDMOTE (LOCAL CONTROL). I was switching through the display modes for the LCD(Brain) while looking through the BOMB EVF. As I was scrolling through, the screen went white and the camera locked up.

I rebooted and then the only option for the LCD(Brain) display mode was "CLEAN"

I then disconnected the BOMB EVF and reconnected the LCD and now all options are available again.

Don't take this the wrong way… but you fully read and followed the instal instructions?

Installation Instructions for Build 3 v3.2.8 camera firmware:




1. Uncompress the v3.2.8 firmware zip file.




NOTE: RED Watchdog (MAC Only) mounts the MAG read-only by default. Change preference to mount Read-Write before attempting to copy firmware to the MAG.


2. Using RED STATION REDMAG 1.8", copy the "upgrade" folder and its contents to the top level of the REDMAG® 1.8" SSD directory.
3. Eject or unmount the SSD, then remove the SSD from RED STATION.


4. Power up camera and wait for camera to complete startup
5. Insert the SSD and select SETTINGS >> MAINTENANCE >> SW UPDATE and confirm with OK


IMPORTANT: THE CAMERA MUST NOT BE SHUTDOWN OR LOSE POWER AT THIS POINT OR THE CAMERA WILL NOT COME BACK UP.




6. Confirm camera shutdown when upgrade has completed with OK.
7. Power up the camera.
8. Go to the SETTINGS >> MAINTENANCE >> SYSTEM INFO and verify that the camera monitor output is - Version 3.2.8 and PIN (value specific to camera)


9. Installation is now complete.
 
Thanks for the reply. I was looking in the metadata (both in the red player and in RCX) and didn't see the information I had entered. The fields were there, just not the data. I'll try it again to see if it works. Also since the option was there for a given number of frames as a head slate or tail slate I was thinking the information would appear as an overlay on the recorded clip for the duration specified. I can see that being a very handy tool for people if the camera overlays slate information automatically. I can also see people thinking it very annoying, but at least having the option would be really cool for guys like me. Could that ever be an option?

What you are describing is the intended behavior. However, at the moment only the camera side has been implemented and in-camera auto slate has not been implemented yet.
 
I loaded this onto my Epic. Love the new arrangement of menus. LOve the Phantom power on Audio. This is a really solid build I must say! I was so excited I even posted on my Facebook, LOL.
1K @ 400 fps is awesome, too!
I feel like the Epic is finally maturing into a good working camera.

Question for RED team - is there plan to allow lower compression ratio for higher frame rates in the furture builds, or is the relation between and REDCODE pretty much set at a standard value?
Right now, if you want to shoot 240fps, you have to use REDCODE 7:1 or higher I believe....

My understanding is that compression rates are currently limited by the media. When the faster 512GB SSD launches Epic users will get lower compression options.
 
46 pages related to a firmware update? I wish I had time to read these things....

A filter to just show official RED comments would be nice. :)

Thanks for the clarification. It is quite cool to start to use the new tools available when a computer captures the image and not a piece of film. Lots of new options for organization appear.

I had to re-pair my cam & redmote with the redmote attached to the cam. There is a reworked setup-dialogue now, and i think the default names of our cams have been changed from "default" to "Epic" and "Scarlet", thats why probably things are reset.

I have installed the Epic firmware with no problem.
And the RedMote firmware too.

But now the RedMote can't "see" the Epic.

I have tried "Rescan" several times, but it doesn't see any cameras.

I had to 'Re-Pair' in the set-up dialogue box as well; but this update kept my camera name instead of re-setting it to default (as it did in the past) or to Scarlet.

In any thread where someone from the RED team has posted there's a RED TEAM button at the top of the page that takes you to the first post by someone at RED in the thread. And all posts by the team have a similar button in them that takes you to the next team member post in the thread.

Wow - there are 10 pages devoted to this exact same post...
 
I just updated and now my side handle is not working, no LCD display and nothing functions except powering the camera from the RedVolt with 0% reading.
I rolled back to the v2.0.5 and then back to v3.0.0 and then to v3.0.7 following all the instructions about removing the side handle and now I think it is dead. Anyone else have similar issues? I have a ticket submitted, but I wanted to know if anyone else could help me out sooner.
 
My side handle quit in 3.28 after some use. I have rolled back both of my Epics to 3.07. All seems fine now. Methinks 3.28 went too far too fast. Hope to see a stable update soon. Loved the new features...

Stuart, sorry to hear about your troubles, but a little relieved too. I had exactly the same results. Exactly. A perfectly functioning side handle, upgraded to 3.28 and the SH was completely non functional. Battery read 0%, but no function whatsoever. Downrevved to 3.07 no change, back to 3.0.0 no change, back to 3.28. Filed a red support ticket. Sent it back yesterday, haven't heard yet. Will keep you apprised.
