RED#0031 M-X shoots Hollywood Test MX v R1

[Sam Taylor]

Thanks very much for that. Was the white balance the same for both clips?

 

[Ed Watkins]

Wow, that settles it.
M-X upgrade over here please.

Any idea what original delivery date the upgrade program is up to?
Almost my 2-year anniversary with the R1.

We are up to serial 600, orders placed up to Feb 18th, 2008 if I'm not mistaken

Oooh... that is close.
I'll be looking for an email then.

there was a bit of purple tinge in the MX footy. Could likely be the calibration issue that they are working on fixing that Jim mentioned in a previous thread.

I've heard that a new MX firmware update is due today if it hasn't been sent out to MX camera people already. Hopefully that helps address some of these issues.

I've had the privilege of playing with a few MX clips now and the difference is really amazing.

Wow. Moving along... At the current rate, I'll be able to send mine for upgrade in about 7 to 10 days it seems.

...Invoice dates between 1.18.08 and 2.8.08 are beeing upgraded at this time, no serials above 600 in that group...

#476 has left a snowy winter Norway, for a few days under the sun in California :emote_hippie: , wish it was me...

BTW: Seems like quite a few people are playing with M-X R3D files, any links?

Here's a link to some R3D files that Rocket_Scott posted on twitter that were shot with the M-X sensor.

Thanks for the link Andrew.

This is was a very illuminating way to see what M-X is all about. I would like to comment on the skew and flash tests as well as the fixed pattern notice and some other things i noticed but i will wait for the next builds/calibrations.

Could the calibration issue be what is causing this weird flare off the headlights? Never seen this before.

Can anyone replicate these flares? Are we sure this is a lens issue?

Looks like lens flare. I think the camera was filming at a slightly different angel for the M-X shot and that's why the headlights flared differently than the first clip.

I see.
