Yes, it improves the audio, but no change to phantom power status.

Ok, if you say so, Stuart, but I just tested it today before I read this, and it seemed to work just fine with my Senny MKH-60 which has no capsule and requires 48v phantom...no more squealing, no hiss, nothing like it used to be. The preamp noise seemed a little noisy, but it always seems a little noisy to me. Fine for a reference file, though--and it used to be totally unuseable. I was actually going to compliment you guys for getting a start on fixing this.

Maybe you folks have gotten so good at this that the camera is fixing itself....

i wana do the Build 16 upgrade so much, but scared it'll reject my Lexus 300x Speed 8gb CF cards.. Anyone knows if they still work? At 4K?

Build 16 does indeed look fantastic.

Curious: Is Soderbergh shooting The Informant on build 16???

Cinemano, for once I thought you are talking about the Lexus car. Sure, i used the Lexar 300X to upgrade to B16 and shoot.

The Lexus cards won't work but the Lexar cards still do Of course, the Lexar cards will always work because that's what RED used for their cards.

Shot my football footage on one a few hours after build 16 came out.

Hi

What's the difference between the menu items "Video/Color/Exposure", "Video/Color/Brightness" and "Video/Gain/Master" ?

 

[Bal Deo]

This may possibly be already posted!!! Not sure if this was also in build 15.
if the video asist is active, it seems you will lose the histrogram display.

16x9 needs RedCode 28. Other than that I think they work fine.

Hey Red,

How exactly do I install beta 16? It does not seem to have any effect on my HVX200!!!! ;P

Seriously, I am jealous of the improvements for the Red One.

back to topic...

I got it to work on mine and now the camera has little to no noise. Amazing.

I dont believe my eyes, i thought the footage was on pause...it was rolling!

Also, i love the way RED Space makes exposure assesment so much easier.

It's incredible, really.

Jim, you stated that this is now a production camera with build 16....not true yet.
While I agree that this is noisereduction and imagewise a prodution ready camera(its actually GREAT), there are simply too many build 16 issues for it to achieve that status. 3K mode is totally unusable with any recording media!
How could your testingprogram not have revealed this?
Im flabbergasted.
FYI I recieved my cam today and I am indeed a happy costumer.
I shot 20+ commercials on RED(and 1500+ on 35mm)including the "famous" Nescafé and plan to do the first entirely shot on RED feature in denmark this fall.
Best regards

I haven't had any issues shooting 3K in the 6 months that I've had the camera.

I guess you didn't see the word BETA when you downloaded the Build 16.

How about 2k mode? Same issues there? Haven't been able to try it out for myself yet..
