Monitor Flip / Flop Option

[Sam Winzar]

I think the easiest solution for side by side is to remove the side SSD module from the right eye and instead attach a rear SSD module (where the card pops out camera right).

 

[David Cole]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.... don't jack my thread, guys. This is about flipping (and flopping) the displayed image in the monitor to accommodate upside-down camera mounts.

 

[Frazier Nivens]

I was certainly hoping that with the latest build released that this would be solved by now. Can someone from the Red team chime in and at least let us know if it's in the works? Thanking you guys in advance for answer.

Best,
Frazier

Pawel,
Are you sure you need to use micro coax ribbon ( that's what it looked like you used ) for the cable ?
Maybe just overall jacket shielded ribbon would be OK. What are SATA cables made with ?
I like the idea !

Les, this has been solved...in hardware... :laugh:

It's not micro coax cable. It is a special cable we designed and made after consulting with RED and doing internal testing. I think it is the most expensive cable ever made

I really don't understand why they haven't done this yet. It's a button on the c300. It's automatic on my transvideo. I can do it on my crappy teletest backup steadicam monitor. It would add huge functionality to the package. I wonder if the issue is they would have to remap all the touch screen crap? If that's the case, I'll take invert the picture only and leave all the menus upside down.

I agree. Whilst it is possible to flip the image on most monitors (in particular 3D monitors) I think at the very least there should be an option to flip the sensor scan (top to bottom and bottom to top) as there is no known workaround for this issue. (Remember: we have two separate issues: display and scanning). I can live (get by) with the display issue, but not with the scanning issue.

Pawel,
If not micro coax type ribbon cable, then just regular ribbon, or twisted pair ribbon ?
It's only the SATA part of the cable that really needs the high speed care, I would assume.

Not to steal the thread. But I would like a flip flop mirror function for the bomb EVF also. As I find it would be much better to have it hanging upside down in a lot of setups.

So please flip flop for all screens please.

+1 please

From our guys... "Vertical flip is possible and will be enabled in the next major release.
Horizontal mirror will require post to implement new de-mosaic routines allow for a different starting pixel." Working on it.

That would be awesome. Can't wait for the next release!

Thank you, making lots of us happy everyday must be your motto..great news.

This will be so helpful!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you from the bottom of my Scarlets.

Jim, will that be actual sensor reverse scan, or just LCD flip ?

Thanks!

Les,

There may be an aspect of this that I'm not picking up on, but why is scan reverse important to you? If the cameras are properly oriented on a beam splitter, the temporal error approaches zero even at 1/1000th shutter. If you are flipping an EPIC upside down for side by side, consider buying a rear mounted SSD drive and orient them both topside up. That would work today and would be way more convenient to deal with.

Hi Jason,

I ordered and have yet to receive the rear SSD for SBS 3d. That will be better than flipping a camera, because it will be more compact and elegant.

If I could make a compact beam splitter rig that allows 11mm f.l. I'd do it, but I don't think it's physically possible.
