Mysterium-X faster read-reset times... WHEN?

[Miltos Pilalitos]

For all of us that upgraded our REDs with Mysterium-X sensors on the promise of improved dynamic range and less rolling shutter it would be really nice to have a slight indication of when the new sensor speeds would be activated.

The improved dynamic range is fantastic and makes me happy but i still want the full potential of my RED M-X.

So, when are we supposed to have it activated guys?

 

[Yiannis Bournazos]

yes! When?

 

[Rainer Fritz]

The last info was that the tuning of the sensor in regards of DR, color, noise will be done and after that the clock speed. But a higher clock speed will be wormly welcome....

But a higher clock speed will be wormly welcome....

It doesn't make sense that almost nobody discusses this MX feature!

I jumped from happiness last spring when i heard it's almost two times faster than the old sensor but judging from this thread it looks like redusers don't really anticipate it. :confused1:

 

[Johnny Friday]

Waiting as well.....

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

I thought it was upgrade-and-play. Thought all M-X Red Ones already had this going on.

Are you sure it isn't active by default from upgrade?

 

[CJ Roy]

No, it's not. It was dialed back similar to the original sensor in order to fix something.

 

[Gunleik Groven]

It's not re-sped up...

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

Oh, that sucks... Hope they can figure out the other thing soon.

It doesn't sound like this is the case, but maybe there is a limit to what the hardware can handle. Buffer memory? After all, this is a 3-year old camera recording 4.5k... If that's the case we really can't feel bad about it.

Were there any stability issues associated with the faster read speed?

Hope it can come back soon!

 

[Gunleik Groven]

calibration issues if my memory serves me...

Still curious about some MXcalibration issues and the next MX firmware release, whenever it comes...

 

[CJ Roy]

I guess the other question is, how this will affect the Epic since it's the same chip?

It seems likely that the Epic was designed for the faster read-reset times, and since it's an ASIC, it may actually be "hard-coded" to work with the faster read-reset times. Here's hoping...
