Gray Screen on BOMB EVF

[Asif Limbada]

Tried using BOMB EVF for the first time on my EPIC-M. However, it seems the initial chip chart is viewed, but then a gray screen appears. I tried using my LCD, video feed was spot on. I even used the cable that came with the LCD, but with no avail. I changed the Monitoring settings of LCD/EVF to preview only, still the same issue. Am I missing something, that I need to set before using the BOMB EVF.Asif Limbada

Should be plug and play.. (was for me)

If you can, do a firmware re install to cancel that out..

Just remember you need to power the camera down before going form the LCD to EVF.

Justin,

Thanks, I did the firmware again. Still the same issue.

Any one from RED, can please advice. Thanks.

Another EPIC/SCARLET in UAE or Dubai to text my BOMB EVF

Another EPIC/SCARLET in UAE or Dubai to text my BOMB EVF

Just received an email from RED Support, need to remove the SSD Module and reattach it and/or try connecting to another EPIC/Scarlet.

As of now only have my EPIC with me, SCARLET on the way don't know when exactly will it touch base.

A shout out to any EPIC or SCARLET owners in United Arab Emirates, who is willing to let me test the BMOB EVF on their EPIC/SCARLET. Please help!

Asif - let me understand... RED said the BOMB problem is related to the _SSD_ Module? Did they say WHY/HOW this relates to the BOMB?
curious!

Because the cabling for the EVF/LCD runs via the SSD module into the brain.

Send off to RED HELP LINE....

Then your problem is noted and fixed asap... Your BOMB is under warrenty. Don't waste the time to get it in and fixed.

Yeah Stu, its exactly what Hudson said.

Mark, eventually I will be doing that :-(

The reason I don't want it to go , is because it just was on backorder for so long. And now this. I hope they send it back (replacement hopefully!!) ASAP.
