  • 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 Release Build v7.0.2

I just done firmware upgrade again to 7.03 and now LCD is working fine (no problems in playback).

edit:
After some more testing I've found that's happening again but only when LCD top frequency is set to 30Hz (not in 50 and 60Hz).

Any news from Red regarding the issues some people mentioned with Sigma EF lenses ?
Is there a 7.04 on the way ?
I hope so. I have basically put my Sigmas away until this is fixed...
 
7.03 has sorted out the issues I was having with the Canon CNE lenses and full communication has been restored.

I did a shoot the other day and a second camera was used and I was surprised to see it was an Epic MX running a very old FW5.3. The owner rightly pointed out it worked perfectly well so was not keen on a FW upgrade. Hard to argue and was amazed when we turned it on and it was up and running in 10 seconds as opposed to my latest model Monstro with up to date FW that took over a minute to boot up. My Monstro is running more accessories but boot up time has somehow slipped back 10 years to RED ONE days.

I would add that with the IPP2 workflow really helps with matching the MX footage to the newer sensors
 
Just a few notes on Firmware 7.0.4 before you update. (Note: these findings are on a Scarlet-W)

Sigma 24-70 f2.8 OS image stabilisation not supported
Sigma 50-100mm f1.8 get a message saying image stabilisation not supported (but this lens has no image stabilisation) and aperture can go down to f1.7 but this doesn't cause camera crash like seen previously
The side handle is definitely much more responsive and less buggy when using Canon lenses and slightly better when using Sigma lenses. No longer getting an oblique glitch on the screen of my 7inch touch.

Just some food for thought before upgrading.
