  • 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 :)

Build 15 update...

I've been reading the posts going around and around about dynamic range, and I thought I might add some totally useless comments.

Dynamic range is only a part of what makes a good image. The linear accuracy of the steps between the highest and lowest recorded elements and the noise present in the image needs to be taken into account. There's probably a huge amount of other factors that I'm leaving out, but I did warn you about these comments being useless.

Any comparison between two different sensors requires a wide range of tests to expose the weaknesses. But at the end of all that, the only important thing is that you can make money and survive with what you have. Do you like what you are getting from the camera or not? It's about the only question that matters.
 
I have a huge demo this week for huge DP's. They aren't going to care about price/performance or many other cool features about RED as much because they don't need to worry about that stuff. Just image quality. If 15 makes any significant improvement to the image I sure hope it's ready. Squash dem bugz RED team! Squash em!

What about putting simultaneous outputs into the release of 14? That's what I need for tomorrow.

Should I be able to run an HD SDI monitor at the same time as a 720p HDMI tap?

You can do that specific combination with Build 13 or 14...
 
Wellll I'm impressed!

Doing some test shooting here set up our Red in a room with lots of windows full sun and snow on the ground outside. The guys exposed for the snow and barely lite the talent inside the room. Looked like crap on the monitors but we shot it, exported as log DPX 2K, imported it to Flame 2008, did a quick color correct and it was great! Our Flame artist was able to pull out all the detail from interior shadows to the snow detail surprisingly little noise, great look.
Setup ASA-320 Zeiss 18mm prime interior lighting two 1K's through tough blue.
Not bad for 14, wondering what 15 will bring.

You have just described what we have been suggesting all along. Protect the highlights that matter, bring up the rest as is possible.

We got it working, but only in preview mode, never could get the monitor to show the menus with either a dell sp2208fpw or the dell e248. All in all though, the camera performed great running build 14 and the Producer was pretty amazed at what could be done with the footage in Redcine just minutes after being shot.
 
Build 15 is on an internal delay for one specific problem... will keep you posted as soon as we get past it.

So, tomorrow...?:innocent: I am not trying to be a smarty-pants here, but I am going to shoot a short with my son & classmates, which are studing film in Full Sail in FL, around mid March and I would like to know what Build I need to get more familiarized with before the actual shooting.

Thanks,

Luis
:help:
 
I'd use Beta 14 if I were you...
 
I need an evf or LCD + hdmi/hdsdi output for a shoot.... What is coming first build or evf?
 
if this problem can be worked around for now I would not mind working around it to get lcd+hdsdi output....

If I could loopthrough on the LCD that would work but I can't so I am a little stuck without buying a high dollar hdsdi LCD and I really don't want or need that right now :(
