  • 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 :)

Camera Firmware + RCX Pro Build 13 beta (includes RED player and Photoshop Plugin )

Thanks for clarifying Matt,

So are you saying that if I change my monitor output to 720p 25Hz (I'm in PAL land) that I should get a live update of what menu function I'm in, on the Small HD over HD-SDI?

I'm unsure if the Small HD will accept the 720p 25Hz signal, but if it does, you should have menus. Now if you have an LCD or EVF attached also, then you'll just have ui status (histograms/guides/current settings/etc) on hd-sdi.

1) The scrolling issue is not resolved in 3.0.6, the bugfix note is referring to a different problem.
2) From the release notes: Disabled OSD for HD-SDI 720p > 30fps .. The UI will be available if you choose a refresh rate lower than 30 Hz in the monitor set-up menu. This release allows you to run at the non-standard SDI rates we had enabled in previous builds.

I can confirm that both of the above issues will be fixed in the next major release.

Matthew - unless RED comes out with HDMI @ 1080p24, I'm probably going to have to attempt to convert SDI to HDMI so that I can feed my monitor's and 3rd party capture devices.

I saw earlier an link on this thread that said 'black borders on the quad hd out of the sdi".

I would be shooting quadHD.

1. Is this correct, that even if I convert from SDI 1080p24 to HDMI 1080p24 that I'll get black borders - pretty much rendering my 3rd party capture useless as a backup or for use as a quick and dirty shoot.

2. Any time frame on the HDMI 1080p24?

--
I ask because, assuming the conversion box I'll have to buy for $500 even works, the extra device is one more point of failure, and $500 wasted (any $$ NOT spent on cool new RED accessories is a waste!!!)

I expect a lot of new Scarlet users are going to be in the same boat, where their existing equipment won't work (different cost structure than large studios), and if they have to upgrade, that's not only money that RED won't get, but it might generate the impression that the cost of the Scarlet is higher than it is (as you have to replace your equipment).

Thanks!

"Removed "INTERNAL" sync option"

Is this the same sync that I use to sync 2 scarlets for 3D using the gige cable?
Click to expand...

No, this was one of the sync options previously available in the GPIO/Sync menu that allowed cameras to generate a sync signal internally. However, this was setting was never recommended and caused people quite a few issues. The recommended way to provide 3D video timing sync to 2 cameras is via the Genlock input and Genlock setting.

3D shared settings are still available using the gige cable.

Ne eta on removing the black borders on the quad hd out of the sdi? And any chance of a 16:9 5k?

At the booth, a RED rep told me that 3.1 should come out in a couple of weeks and fix the black borders giving us a clean feed out of SDI. Hope that is the case.

1) Yes, unfortunately, with 3.0.6 and before you will still see black bars with 4k HD when using HDMI as well. I can tell you that properly scaled full screen 4k HD is coming just around the corner though.

2) I can't give you a time frame, but I'll look into making it happen.
 
On my system (64bit Windows) The R3D Photoshop importer works with CS5 but not CS5.5. This is a head scratch-er since the Premiere integration is only with CS5.5. If I didn't happen to have both versions on my machine I wouldn't have been able to make the importer work. It's a very cool idea by the way. Open the clip, scrub to the bit you want, say okay and you have a still. This will be perfect or a still / motion shoot I'm doing in the next couple weeks. Would love to know if there is a reason it's not working with CS5.5.

Thanks !

This is unfortunately due to a bug we found with how CS5 and CS5.1 are installed. Both write to the same registry keys that point to the plugin location on the hard drive for Photoshop. Basically, which ever of CS5/CS5.5 was installed last gets the plugin. We are working on a way to resole the issue. Getting it in both CS5 and CS5.5 requires a little manual intervention. All you have do do is copy the Photoshop\Plug-ins\File Formats\R3DFormat folder from CS5 to CS5.5 and it will load up just fine.
 
After several installations of the Photoshop Plugin it is still not installed...

Mac OS-X 10.6.8
Adobe CS5 Master Collection
Macbook Pro 17" late 2010 model

The Photoshop's plugin directory does not contain the R3D format plugin. The installation completes without errors - but no plugin is installed. Photoshop still can't open R3D files...
Any chance to be able to download just the actual plugin file (instead of a installer), so I can move it into it's proper directory by myself?

Thank You...

Peter
 
My order for my Epic-X does not show up in my account, and therefore the site won't let me download the beta firmware. I have emailed customer service but not received a response.

Any ideas? I really want to try the new AF!
 
Too bad, the firmware didn't fix the Histogramm Bar Issue. :(

Peter, maybe you have to install the whole REDCINE X package with player and launcher to achieve this. Everything works fine here.

My order history is gone too. But You should still be able to access the download links.
 
Only actually had our own Scarlet in hand for 2 weeks now, so still getting comfortable with everything including workflow. We had been working with R3D files to make sure we were prepared for it but of course nothing beats shooting your own. We did the update to RCX today and immediately began using the Red Player. How did anyone ever get along without it? I know there is much more to the update, but this one portion made us very happy! Fantastic. Thank you Red!
