  • 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 :)

RED can you please make this a priority in your next firmware update as I am a steadicam operator and I can not use my IDX CAMWAVE as it does not support 25P, it only supports 25 Psf so I am flying my rig with a cord to the client monitor and this is restricting my shots.

Hopefully a few more people might chime in and ask for this request also.
 
In talking to Red, it sounds like this is a priority and will be addressed in the coming weeks. If not in the next update, the one after.
 
yes please. if there was 1080 available out the sdi, wouldn't that make for a viable video workflow to compete with alexa? ki pro mini on the back and your workflow is super simplified...useful for many simpler and lower budget productions...
 
The epic only outputs 1080P not PSF so a lot of my gear wont work like the IDX CAM WAVE that I use to send hd wirelessly from my steadicam rig.
 
Im using the Decklink UpDownCross mini converter to make 720p50 from the 1080p25 output. Works great with the Camwave HD.
 
Thanks Anders... Just need to figure out how to power that little sucker now as I have used all of my lemos on my Archer 2 sled! Where have you stuck it? I have my decimator 2 stuck behind my screen. So maybe sticking that there also.
 
I'm thinking to use Sound Device PIX240 but does anyone know if it does live output/conversion?
 
any news here? I am stuck and about to start a production with NO wireless for the focus dude.
help! I have DeckLinkHD and it can't read the 1080p EPIC only 720 from my R1

We've been using the IDX Camwave with no issues on Epic

Red is giving you real 25p, I can't see them going backwards & introducing fields any time soon-
 
Real 25p in TV land is PSF and always will be.

Bit silly that RED have taken this stand.

It's not real 25p at all, it's video fields bluffing at frames. It would be very silly for RED to turn frames into fields pre compression into redcode. It's time that fields just get forgotten, you cant even view them properly on a flat screen.
 
Again I say. 1080 50i is the international standard for television. not 25p.

No point arguing with me.. Thats how it is
 
No point in arguing, but there's also a bit of a mess, as the 1080i thingy belongs back in the 90's with CRT 1080 screens.
It has become a bit of an anachronism in the days of plasmas, LCDs and LED, as none of these are even capable to screen i properly.

But, as I guess is your point Adam - that's a totally different discussion....
