  • 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 :)

DSMC2 Beta Firmware 6.4.21 , Scarlet-W and Weapon MG Spec increases

Chris McKechnie said:
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!

Thanks Chris,
Sorry I should have specified we are on the Helium. I should have everything set correctly. We can get the LUT to work fine with REC709 selected, but nothing displays when Log3G10 is selected.

Good eye ;) thx
 
Is there any word if the Final Cut Pro plug in
will be updated to work with IPP2???

I do projects that get a quick color tweek in RCx
and edit in FCPx then rendered out.

Kinda like skipping making Prores files out of RCx

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?

Were you able to get it to work prior to the beta? I have used a 3D LUT on Log3G10 in the past with a release build on a Dragon camera.

Oh, looks like the Canon mount is now captive too! (In the description - guess they didn't update the title yet).

It is... I wish all of them mounts were captive. AFAIK all of Red's are, but my PL mount is from Wooden Camera, and the only thing I don't like about it is that the screws aren't captive.

I would pay at least another $100-200 for a WC mount with captive screws. just for the screws.

I don't recall...but neither of my Weapon CF Helium Bodies with latest beta will display a LUT when in Log3G10...works in REC709 though.

Same here. Some day I'll be using PL mount lenses with lens info and have a need for Red's PL mount for that to work, but not yet. :)

Presto... the roll back release Firmware is now up. DSMC Release build 6.3.98

Click to expand...

I'm using the Beta 6.4.21 and tried to roll back to the Release Build 6.3.98 for an upcoming job but I can't seem to roll back... (All the usual procedures done, secure format etc.)
Even though I really like the Beta 6.4.21, I'm scared putting it on the line for a payed gig.

How can I roll back to a stable Release Build?

Already did but same thing. Nothing happens when I try to load it...
My procedure:
1) secure format the mag in camera
2) put the force_upgrade folder in the top directory in the redmag
3) start camera
4) then the camera starts "normally" without the fans running loud (like a regular reboot)
5) when I then check it's still on the same Beta 6.4.21

Edit: Formatting in FAT32 instead of UDF did the job! (forgot to change)
