Red One EVF Suddenly Gone Green

[Brian F Johnson]

So my EVF has never had a problem. During a shoot the battery died and when I put on a fresh battery and booted up the EVF first was extremely dark. It stayed dark during so I had to use my 9" Red monitor. Upon the next battery change I booted up to find now the EVF was bright but entire screen is green like looking at a night vision scope. Its been that way since. I have 4 cables and changing out cables resulted in the same. Ive even reset entire system and nothing. Any thoughts?

Is this on the Red One M/MX or DSMC body? If your LCD works fine, and all the cables work fine with the LCD, then it looks like either your EVF or the output socket on the camera body (if it's the Red One which is separate to the LCD output connector) have a problem.

Try checking the EVF with a known good cable on another camera. That will tell you if it's the EVF or the Red One camera body.

Also check for bent pins, missing pins or broken pins lodged in sockets.
