  • 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 17 features...

Ramps

Ramps

Any chance of getting the camera to ramp back and forth from say 10fps to 50fps and back again everytime you push the external switch? That would create some really good effects that I use in film with a 435 all the time.

That's a good idea Russ. No, we haven't consider that, but it'd probably be relatively easy to do... Is there a wait time after reaching max fps before ramping back down?
 
It would be good to do it two ways. Set - where the ramp go 50fps for a set amount of seconds and them back to 10fps until the trigger is pressed again. Or Triggered - where the ramp goes to 50fps until the trigger is pressed again and it returns 10fps until the trigger is pressed again and so on.

Cheers, Chris

I could see another option where it waits at 10fps until you press, and hold the button and then it ramps to 50fps and stays there as long as the button is pressed. Once the button is released it ramps back down. That way you could continually press and ramp.

Of course, I'll also bring up the standard "of course it would be better to shoot it all at 50fps and ramp via software" just to keep 2 or 3 followup posts from hitting... :)
 
I haven't read through this entire thread so I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but I'd love to be able to disable timecode output. It's a bummer to have the camera rejam a Lockit box right after I plug it in with a 5-pin to 5-pin Lemo cable.

Stu, maybe You should visit more often ScarletUser - we have discussed this over there not long ago... :)

I think the simplest use would be to set in a menu start and end ramp speed with time to reach the change (as it is right now). The GPI trigger will change from starting ramp to the end in the given time and stay there. New GPI trigger will start the ramp in reverse. And so on and so forth...

Just my two pesos... :)

The denecke does this automatically. Once its jammed, it will ignore incoming timecode until it (the deneke) is power is cycled.
 
One thing I'd like to see in some future 'build' would be a video-out/viewfinder "grid-pattern" that could be generated in the frame guide menu.
I have this same thing on my Arri's CEI Color-V video tap and its GREAT to help aligning objects in a shot, especially like product & table-top shooting. Should be fairly east software work...any thoughts on this? Shot a PAMPERS spot today with product shots on my RED and really could have used this option...the director even commented that he thought I would have something like this on the RED as on my film cameras. This new technology needs to keep up with the old :-)
 
Good suggestion...

Another good Idea, would be a big waveform with values over the image, not just the little one that is hard to judge by. It would be great to get a display box like the panasonic monitors or other competitors that give you the full graph.
 
Its a request I have heard from many DP and shooters that have used my camera
 
Will we be able to upload RLX files made in Red Alert to the camera?
 
I supose someone said but:

- Please a on/off menus and info on video out.
- A biger Luma Historiogram.
- Proxis that works fine (like build 15)
- TC in.
- A full configurator aplication in mac/pc cpu-Flash-Red

... may be... wings :sarcasm:
 
opps..

may be...

- a correct format video reproduction (without crop, please)
 
Special Request: Ability to block out all but a given aspect ratio in the EVF, LCD, HDMI out. In other words, instead of relying upon grayed out areas or guidelines, would be nice to be able to hit a "preset" button to turn on and off all but the intended final field of view.

thumbnails for playback of clips. There must be another way of reviewing a clip from earlier in the day than pushing the rewind button 75 times (and prob causing a crash in the process).
 
OK thumbnails would be great but if that's not possible then what about just seeing the mag contents (like when you dump). Having access to the file list and maybe the clip size would be easier to navigate via the joystick and then press enter to play..... (Clip size would help you distinguish real takes from dud clips).

Amen.
At the very least, a way to instantly get to the beginning of the list.
 
Full Frame Waveform monitor

Full Frame Waveform monitor

I second the larger waveform and have mentioned it a few times before. Please give us one that takes up the whole screen and has indication marks on the sides. The current incarnation is so squished that it is pointless in my mind. The histograms are wonderful, but a good waveform gives you so much more detailed info about a frame. The information is already in there, just make it bigger so that it's in a useful form. We don't need image overlay, toggling back and forth between image and waveform works fine for me. Maybe this is asking too much, but what would be even better would be able to have the image in the EVF while simultaneously having a full frame waveform on the LCD.
