  • 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 :)

bright vertical line on material

I've had this issue with RED # 1888 and now with RED # 6353. The camera had been on for about 45 minutes on Build 20.1.3. Will do the black calibration thing but I sure hope this doesn't keep coming back. At least the first CF card had no issues... it was after I changed over to the second card that this occurred.

 
Andreae. It seems as the line is NOT due to where the footage stored. The problem is inside the camera (at least my line was produced internally).
Nice picture.

Thanks! You are right. looking at the first 8GB card again... I noticed 2 of the last clips had the vertical lines. I've done the black calibration and its gone... I'm just wondering if RED has a recommendation of how to avoid this all together. Guess I will set the fan to "hot" for now.
 
I think a major cause of this vertical line is the labeling of the "auto" fan feature. When people think automatic they think the camera adjusts the fan speed as needed depending on the temperature. This is not true when the camera is recording... the fan speed will always be at the minimal speed under the auto setting while recording. In a state like Florida that will quickly lead to problems. This should just be highlighted more in the manual or at least with a little operating temperature guide paper that ships with the camera.
 
I got this same problem wit my R1 body. From 4 weeks is still in a REL service (they actually not shure for the reason). So I wonder how many Red Users got lines problem...
 
I had 2 lines about 1/6th of the way through the top right 16:9 frame today. I could see it Live but more noticably during playback of the shots against green screen.

I was using build 21.1.2 at ILM/Kerner Optical for some MOCO sequences and thankfully the lines never crossed the actors.

After discovering the lines moments before rolling ( camera was on AC power and lines didn't show up till 4hours after call when we rolled the first shot. I had to wait till we rolled our first shots before pulling the red-drive and downloading because of a anxious client. I black balanced then it appeared again an hour later!

Lots of fun with Red:)
