  • 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 :)

I've just got back from a gig and had a chance to update my Epic-W, I love this update! Life just keep getting better and better since I moved to RED!

I found it really easy to get great color from it from the beginning, but with the latest update it's just stunning. I need to process some of the desert superbloom footage from last week. :)
 
The noise and colors so organic, everything has improved so much even without IPP2 on my MG.... Now with the Highlight and Contrast Roll off option is so impressive what I see in REDCINE X... This is amazing... I am having a lot of fun with the new color rendering I see on my 7 inch RED Touch followed by my 4K in post :)

Happy Easter
 
My Scarlet-W won't update for some reason. Currently stuck on 3.78 (something with those numbers). When I go through the process of updating, which I've tried for this current release and the previous, the camera acts like it's updating. Fans kick on, lights flash then shut down, I take the mag out and wait then power back up. Fans kick on again and the camera boots up but then it stays at its current firmware. No accessories attached and I've tried it with and without the 7 inch DSMC2 touch mounted. Same thing either way with no luck. Any tips?
 
I was under the impression helium wasn't engraved was because down the line you were going to be able to swap sensors back and forth between helium and dragon by sending in your camera in.

ahhhh ok! that makes total sense. I wonder if you can request to have it engraved if you wanted?

I believe that this option is only available for the lucky ones who got to purchase the Dragon VV 8K sensor. Because that sensor is so hard to manufacture, the ones that bought that upgrade can get a Helium 8K sensor in in the meantime, while they wait. And then they can chose to go VV or stay with the S35 Helium.
With that said, I don't believe that you can go back and forth between Dragon and Helium, except for the situation I described above.

#RANDOM QUESTION! Is there a reason RED didn't engrave the side SSD module on the Weapon with "HELIUM" the same way they did with "DRAGON" ? I know its random, but just curious.

I would say to try and reduce confusion, but I am just guessing. They already list the sensor name and resolution above the lens mount. Pre-shipping, prototype Weapons, had Weapon engraved on the side until some complained. This also lead to the stealth coin on the front of the camera as an option.
 
Is there a kind of timeframe for the release build? It's the most exciting firmware update yet, so I'm eagerly waiting for the release build.
 
Sorry if this has been answered already but can anyone confirm if battery info is being passed through the Wooden Camera plate and if the Sigma 18-35 lens is working ok on this 6.4.21 build on Epic-W?
 
I have used this firmware in 2 productions, with no issues. The only thing to note from my side is the absence of battery info. Using the WC battery plate and/or DBox.
 
What a beautiful update 4K pro res, I have a lot of 4K delivery so never used the 2k pro res on my SW. This changes things for me now. Many thanks Jarred and Red team :D
 
I'm playing around with the beta firmware on my s-w, loving it, the structure of the menu it's so much more intuitive, and the lut support, even on the s-w it's great.
Will be ever able to see the LUTS in playback on s-w?
 
love the new firmware! the layout is so user friendly, well done!

the pro res is great but would you have preferred them leaving as was and pushing the FPS instead if that was an option.

2K is great if you really need a proxy but the NLE's have come on so much it makes me think that pushing r3d more useful

With the camera set to Log3G10 space we are unable to view a 3D LUT on the LCD monitor, is this a limitation of beta?

Which camera are you using? Helium cameras are the only ones that support full IPP2 with the 32x32x32 LUTS. However, all (to my knowledge) DSMC 2 cameras support 17x17x17 LUT support. A request did the conversion for us...check out the IPP2 thread. http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?155858-17x17x17&highlight=lattice

Also...make sure you enable LUT viewing. Go to Settings---Look---Video---LUTS and select your LUT. Then select the next tab over Look Config and for Look B, choose your LUT from that dropdown. Then, select the next tab over Monitor Config and make sure you have "Look B" selected for your various monitors.

Hope that helps!
