Dragon / Epic / Scarlet Camera Beta Build 5.1.23

[Tre Robinson]

Amazing how on top of things RED is... Very Happy

 

[Adam J. Craig]

Thanks guys and gals!

 

[Jeff McCoy]

Sweet. Manual fan control is back!

 

[Casey Green]

Thanks for the updates and for listening!

 

[Bérenger Brillante]

Thank you for the unsqueezed magnify in Ana modes ! I just bought a 6 lenses set, it was not very pleasing to magnify with them.

Fantastic that we got the manual fan modes back!

And ehm, for us poor documentary filmers in the jungle a way of deleting shots would be much appreciated out in the wild. This mode can always be password protected for big studios so no camera guy deletes shots from Transformer 4 by mistake since they simply wouldn't have the password.

It's a Scarlet-X with an M-X sensor, as opposed to a Scarlet-X with a Dragon sensor (coming soon...)

Hehehe almost. Scarlet-X is Scarlet M-X (just like Epic-X) the dragon version is called Scarlet Dragon and doesn't have the X in the name. Sorry for being a nitpick

* Added fan control dialog to display warning if auto or manual mode is selected

Cool stuff. Talking about finding solutions without omitting features.

Thanks for the quick update on the beta! Things are moving quick.

I'm with Phil. Adaptive is like it sounds: an evolutionary step.

So adaptive preview quiet recording is the way to go if we don't want to check the temperature and take care of the fans?

 

[Maik Müller]

I'm on adapative since beta 5 and never looked back, but adaptive preview quiet record is very welcome.
According the Sigma 18-35, has anyone tried to make a lens-profile with that new v5-feature? Maybe that fixes the lockups.

@RED, maybe it would be nice to make your lens profiles separately available in the future? That way we wouldn't have situations like this and in addition wouldn't have to wait for complete new firmwares.

New build is dope! Thx!! I do miss my 4:1 compression @ 4kWS (only get 5:1 now) but I think I'll live :smilewinkgrin:

Depends on how long is your take... I think the Hairblower mode could kick in.

If someone could confirm that when using adaptive preview and quiet record set to 25% after 5 min. recording the leafblower could blow again?

Thanks

Quiet mode does not use the manual fan mode setting. It's designed to keep the camera as quiet as possible and not kick the fans into overdrive.

Ok I understand now. I thought from Mark's post that you could choose the max. value for the quiet mode when recording.

First try adaptive preview quiet record - and lower the max fan speed on record to 25%. It's awesome.

You are getting the same compression ratio as the earlier Beta. You weren't really getting 4:1, it was something between 4:1 and 5:1 (e.g. 4.5:1) which is now shown as 5:1 instead of 4:1 to lessen confusion.

 

[Christopher Probst]

This would be the definitive build for MX if it included 4K, 3K and 2K ANA modes.... I do miss having higher frame rates for Ana... For Deagon, I'm guessing Dragon Color will be the icing for Dragon cameras...

Nice! Good to know.

Cool, thanks for the clarification.

Since the firmware is labeled DSMC firmware instead of the previous name of Epic X firmware, I would like to know if this somehow enables features above and beyond just making movies? I know some have had trouble attributed to the last beta version so it's important to know if this has features that one would find useful for movie-making.

And, if someone could clarify... is DSMC firmware the only thing going forward or will there be upgrades to what has been know in the past as Epic X firmware?
