Those are some pretty sweet updates! Especially Redcode 36.

Geez, guys, give me a second to type up a post announcing it is released.

Yup, BETA Build 14 is posted on RED.com/support for your pleasure...

very nice. good to hear it from the source though, let's see what Brent has to say about it.

 

[Steve Freebairn]

The higher bitrate must be why Shawn's candle shot was so noiseless for the conditions. I'm guessing the blue channel is going to be getting some performance boosts from this (or is it spread evenly across all 3 channels?)

Please note that 3K 2:1 is 60fps!

Brent says "Build 14 kicks ass."

 

[Justin Kirchhoff]

that's pretty sick Jim. 3k seems like an awkward number because we're all used to even numbers, but that's good news...60fps!~!

Wow!!!!!!! Does that mean that 2k will go to anything higher? What is 3k, scaled or cropped?

 

[Leif Thomas]

I guess 3K is windowed and not scaled?

3K 60 fps - that rules big time!

 

[Stuart English]

3k 2:1

3k 2:1

!?!?!?!?!

:w00t:

Meaning 3K 2:1 provides an excellent new option for high frame rate work ... i.e. Varispeed capture can be as high as 60 fps to RED-DRIVE, 50 fps to CF card.

That says it all.

holy shit...nice firmware update, or should we call this a complete upgrade?


is 3k supported in Red Cine? or are we waiting on a new version?

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Why the temporary removal of +48V phantom power?

Jim wasn't kidding when he said build 14 was "monumental" ..

 

[Andrew M.]

And what is REDCODE 36?

1/2 of 69 ?

And full size _F QuickTime Reference Movie.
Does it mean 2K and 4K QT or just 2K?

 

[Rodrigo Lizana]

3K@50fps to CF sounds amazing, if it is scaled. Is it ?

 

[Greg M]

so what exactly is the effect on 35mm lens at 3K?

 

[Steve Freebairn]

Jim said is was cropped in the other 3k thread.
