7.3 firmware snappy as well. Love to see a cleaned up interface....
 
I have a red weapon 6k dragon CF, just updated to the latest firmware 7.3.0 and still no ipp2 in the image tab just legacy, I assumed my camera is the same spec as the dragon X 6k, is there additional hardware needed to enable
Ipp2 in camera? .... Anyone have any thoughts? ...much appreciated

Unfortunately yes. The camera brains that benefit from this straight to IPP2 update already suppport it. It requires new boards. I don't what to call it DSMC2.5, but the newer camera brains post the "OG Dragon Weapon 6K upgrade" have the hardware to do so. It just happened later in the timeline.
 
Could someone let me know the crop factor of the dragon x 6k compared with gemini 5k (both full frame)
 
Great thanks for the reply Phil!!! curious if the boards can be updated for a reasonable price? And would there be any benefit to doing so other than ipp2 monitoring in camera? better processing perhaps?

Thanks

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think you can upgrade the boards for ~$5K and you will get IPP2 in camera and slightly lower compression ratios (at least I think this is the case for my Weapon Mg). What I have not been able to establish is whether the "DSMC2.5" upgrade is necessary to stay in the running for future updates, but in general Red has been pretty generous about giving older cameras upgrade paths.
 
I would really like to know the spec on Komodo before pulling the trigger on the upgrade which seems like a great deal but the unknown is really annoying. Duel iso is the main feature i would live to have
