FULL MENUS available with Small HD DP6 Monitor and Red One

[caroline harrison]

Hello everybody,

The latest DP6 firmware has enabled me to connect a DP6 to Red One seamlessly providing full menu displays.

Here's the info:

Note: this is only tested using a Red Mysterium-X Body, build 30 (firmware 30.6.0) connected to the Red One via HDMI.


1. Let SmallHD know that you are connecting to the RED and make sure your DP6 firmware is updated to the latest version they suggest. I am using version 1_1_1 and it works perfectly (they sent it to me as a beta test).

2. Before connecting the monitor, set the camera’s internal menu settings like this:

System – monitor – preview: set to menus DVI (not video 720)
System – setup – preferences – display (check status)
[in the AV menu – viewfinder – set the desired meters and assists as you normally would]

3. Connect the monitor and power up. Note that even on factory presets, the DP6 will show RED monitor menus i.e when DP6 advanced menu is set to scale – 16:9 and PC menu is set to scale – normal.

Pictures attached to prove it!

found the answer: http://www.smallhd.com/Store/5-6-HD-Field-Monitors/DP6-SLR

"out of stock" though...

Sorry Dominic,

I don't have a RED lcd to see if it works simultaneously.

DP6 was $999. Surprised they're out of stock but they only just brought it out, so possibly they're just back ordered.

This looks like a great 2nd monitor option for those who want dual LCDs on RED.

 

[Mike Prevette]

Yes it works in tandem with the Red LCD.

 

[caroline harrison]

To confirm that, I just tried it also in tandem with the Red LCD and works great.

The only problem with DVI/HDMI output, you lost the HD-SDI signal and makes it impossible to view for director and client monitor.

So If the DP6 works with the red besides having two monitors will there be a need to even buy a red monitor at almost double the price . And if you already have a red monitor like me just recieved it I will be sending it back for the DP6

... which is kind of a dealbreaker for many setups....

 

[Mike Prevette]

Indeed, I would never recommend outright replacing the Red LCD with the DP6, but it is a great addition.

If you had too can you just use the DP6 without the RED Pro LCD?

If you had too can you just use the DP6 without the RED Pro LCD?

yes, but you still lose the sdi outputs if you are running the dp6 off hdmi.
Fantastic monitor, though.
