  • 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 :)

So I got my Raven last week and immediately used for a short
Leveraged the Lemo adaptor to reuse my bomb EVF with sidekick - exactly emulating my previous EVF and side handle config on Scarlet MX
I can only use the side / back pogo since the front one is too close to mounting slots to be used with any top handle / mount I have.
BUT - I can't get EVF2 and HDMI out (jetpack HDMI) to both work!!!
Not matter what combination of display priority I set (EVF2 over everything and then HDMI) the HDMI always is given priority and the EVF 2 is shut down.
I will open an isseu with RED, but has anyone else experienced and is there a workaround?
The short was with a producer I have worked with several times, so the were willing to trust me rather than have access to directors monitor, but I also wanted to use hdmi for the A/C to pull focus. Instead I did both, but want a second display!!
Thx
 
The unfortunate answer is that you can't use both. At least not with an LCD. The port on the TOP of the weapon and HDMI can be used at the same time but the port on the SIDE of the weapon and the hdmi cannot be used at the same time. If you cable to the TOP port for your EVF, then it will work.
 
Thanks! Yes I got that answer from RED tech support yesterday afternoon - side pogo and hdmi are same - pick one.
They suggested using SDI out as that is different fromm rear hdmi feed - can anyone inn the field confirm that side pogo and SDI can be active at same time?
 
Actually the jetpack does not support SDI - RED support was looking at a preorder I had for Jetpack SDI when SDI was sauggested.
For jetpack pogp2 == HDMI
Ended up modified (hacksaw!) my follow focus rig so EVF could be on top POGO and then that used as secondary mount point.
A little concerned that mounting hardawre from pogo to brain is smaller diameter than external mounting points for pogo, but can't change that.
