The latest release version of RED ONE camera firmware has been posted on www.red.com/support : Build 20 RED ONE Firmware, v20.1.3. This is a password-protected download.

SUMMARY: Enhanced Color Matrix, with decreased Blue channel noise, especially under tungsten lighting, increased skin tone accuracy on RED-EVF, RED-LCD, and HD-SDI outputs, modified False Color meters for RAW, REC709 and REDspace views, modified Zebra 1 and 2 defaults, modified microphone level default, 48V Phantom Power maintained over power cycle, fixed "audio codec error" and "green flash" on audio enabled clip play back from RED-DRIVE, fixed camera reboot on clip playback from RED-DRIVE, fixed camera reboot on communications error from S4/i lens data port, corrected Look Around area on HD-SDI and HDMI outputs for 4K ANA / 3K ANA / 2K ANA modes, changed USER KEY 4 to VIEW RAW, changed USER KEY 5 to COLOR.

Read all instructions contained in the installation readme file before proceeding with download.

WARNING: Exposure assist tools in this version of firmware have been updated as follows: Adjusted Sensor RAW meter highlight clip indication response, Adjusted black level response of RGB monitor path / RGB Histogram / HDMI / HD-SDI output(s), Corrected FALSE COLOR error in VIEW RAW mode, Re-calibration and simplification of FALSE COLOR overlay for RAW, REC709 and REDspace.

NOTE: RED ONE camera firmware v20.1.3 resolves many, if not all, of the camera reboot issues. If you still experience issues on record or playback with a RED-DRIVE, please contact tech support at www.red.com/support to assist you further.

NOTE: The RED ONE Operation Guide v20.1.3 is a new format with significant revisions to content. Please PM me if you find any typos or with any other feedback.

If you have any other general questions or feedback about Build 20, contact tech support at www.red.com/support .

Thanks, BC
 
Oh yeah! Just in time for my 5-camera shoot tomorrow! I was prepared to use 20.1.2 but still a bit nervous in the back of mind just because of the word beta...

Thanks to everyone at Red!

Here's a question - Why does the Red 'eat' the upgrade from the CF card? After the update the UPGRADE folder on the CF is empty.

Only reason I ask is I update a few cameras at a time and have to recopy it to the CF each time.
 
Super! Thanks! Just upgraded and shot some low light footage. Looks amazing. I cannot believe this is the same camera I bought one year ago.
 
It would be nice to see a visual example of Blue channel improvements to the new firmware build.

Could someone post a before and after with v17 and 20 please?

Perhaps a close up of noise in the blacks magnified in addition to full frame would be useful.

Thanks
 
so many great updates lately, even the RED homepage cannot keep up and still list versions from an ancient time... :)

"503 Service Temporarily Unavailable...capacity problems. Please try again later."

getting the same:

Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

that is because there are 6000 odd of us trying at the same time to download...
but it is great how fast the team are on these updates... real fast
 
Very GOOD NEWS!!

Is there an update needed to work on Final Cut Studio 2 or Adobe CS4 products needed?
 
Thanks Brent for your quick reply!
 
Traffic is still heavy to the support page - but I was just able to download if you guys want to start trying again...
