What is the resolution for open gate?
 
Wow! Massive update and I can test this out right now.

I have a quick question.

Weapon OLPFs aren't showing up in the .R3D metadata. Is this corrected via firmware or REDCINE-X PRO/SDK?

I believe those Zeiss 50mm and 85mm updates are the new Milvus lenses. Thank you for that! Especially the 15mm support as well.

Very curious to see these monitor improvements. And thank you, thank you, thank you for the HDR Gamma Spaces. I literally was at the SMPTE Conference yesterday and had all sorts of things in my noggin.
 
getting around 25 second boot up time now for my epic dragon. This is a very nice improvement. What does the wipe camera option do?
 
I am curious to hear about what kind of boot times people are getting with Epic MX and this build. I'm still on v5.1 or 5.2 because it has been stable for me and most importantly the boot time is 10sec. I had heard future builds had longer boot times, though I've never had confirmation of that. But boot time is one of the most important factors to me. I don't think I can go back to v5.1/5.2 once I upgrade.

This has also been a big concern of mine if/when upgrading (Dragon/Weapon/Raven, etc)

Anyone with boot times please post them - mx, dragon, weapon. Is it time for me to take the plunge?
 
Epic Dragon

35 seconds on previous builds

6.2.3 25 seconds
 
Sounds great, can't wait to try out. Thanks to everyone involved in doing this magic behind the scenes!

Now that user files are persistent across upgrades the Wipe Camera options lets you quickly erase all your user files.
 
time difference on weapon?

I start my timer on button press and go to picture on screen.

Weapon, previous firmware = 47.3 seconds.

Weapon, DSMC Beta Build v6.2.3 = 21.2

*clapping hard* That's less than half the boot time. Very impressive.
 
Yeah, can you please elaborate on opengate support?
