  • 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 16 Warning!

Red cap?

Red cap?

Charlie Anderson said:
Is 16 going to address a few bugs and performance issues that are present? like the force reel bug and being able to disable the rear record button if we need to? Right now we're using a modified water bottle cap to prevent it from being accidentally hit :) I should take a picture of it, it's quite funny

Is the cap you are using red?

Charlie, I would love to see that! I was thinking along the same lines.

Congrats on your Red and welcome to Red User with your first post.

Thanks! It's technically not my red, but I'm working as a tech...or at least trying to haha!

I'll get a snapshot of it with my phone today at break and post a pic of it, it's quite humorous...and no it's not red :(

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

I did something very similar yesterday. I cut a bottle top up to put a deep ring around the giant unmarked power button. I've now upgraded to a large o-ring.
 
Jim,

have you fixed the date to release Build 16 v X.X.X

Time wait for no man, and may I honest to say to you that
I am runnng out of passion to the build 15 v.2.2.5

I did Crash twice on my RED drives ......

Change some good DSPs ASAP.

Sorry that I got a " RED Nerve " to tell you the Turth an I have no Hairs on my CHEST.

yep it gets the job done! it would be great to be able to disable that record button as our DP is using an ez-rig and holds the camera with arms slung behind the camera, so that's why we use that so he doesn't accidentally bump the record button.

Yeah, it's a bummer that the interface is on the back of the camera. That space gets used a lot.

I've been brainstorming an accessory solution for it, we'll see if I can get it together.
 
Just one thing i need to understand.. both epic AND scarlet will have less compression than the RED? would it be fair to ask build 16 to bring more bitrate than 35 at this point? Since scarlet will have 100 MB/S
 
It is assumed that the current internal processors, FPGAs, buses, sensor clock, etc are unable to manage 100MB/sec compressed to RedCode RAW. It is further assumed that improvements in the near term are primarily algorithms, code optimizations and the like. Various statements by RedTeam members support this view. That said, only the RedTeam knows for sure.
 
hopefully we'll know something soon. NAB is a distant memory. build 16 must be quite difficult to assemble now with so much code and moving pieces. hopefully they kept the code as modular as possible. it really sounds like they took it apart completely and rebuilt it ground up
 
thats all great and back slapping happy good to hear. but as a straight forward user, can you tell me what i will be expecting in build 16? what am i getting ? and how will it affect me as a end user and shooter?
I just dont want to download it and end up with some new bells and whistels that i dont need or want.
and what are we talking about in new functionality. will i have to wait to upgrage untill I have fully read though the manual for 16 I dont wan tto end up not knowing how to fix something that I knew how to in build 15

Thank you

Haophat, it sounds like you are pretty fearful of change. If so, why get into Red in the first place?
Anyway, you can always just keep build 15 going.

Its not that i am fearful of change afterall I bought into a red, its just with the Jobs I do, there is no time for wasted time and not knowing how to adjust your camera or find a function you knew where it was but now has changed, and this forces you to run to a manual, is just not acceptable.

So I am just trying to figure out what's comming next so I can anticipate the change and be ready for what it may do.
