  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Scarlet and Epic BUILD 4.0.6 BETA

xbxrig.png


Anyone have any idea if this is a blackshading issue or something to do with the firmware? I've been getting these weird compression/grain lines recently. Normally happens after shooting for a while.
 
Been testing the build live for a whole week. Havent had any problems with it.

Btw HDRx is a LIFESAVER. Incredibly useful. Today I just entered drug dealers houses in the jungle with a SWAT team to save captured animals (!) and we had to come in from bright sunshine and move to dark inside. Thanks to the HDRx it just WORKS in post, otherwise it would have been a much trickier situation to deal with.

I had the same problem when I doing timelapse, ie 1fps, but easily rectified with a blackshade. I dont have this problem on 120fps on the other hand. ScarletX here too
 
Any way to flip and mirror the image? When we enable image flip, its backwards -- we can make the interface readable...but not the image.
 
Hey, finally got around to updating to this version. I like the revamped menus and UI. The main screen has some nice new touches.

Only question so far, is that I can't find out how to get rid of the lens information top left of the screen. I use PL with no contacts so I would love to get rid of it. I never saw it on any other build. Thanks to anyone who can help.

EDIT: Matthew over on PAGE 9 answered this one, should have looked before. Thanks for the build RED, highly enjoying the new features and UI.

I'd love to see that clip! What were your HDR settings?

I encountered a bug pertaining to the RedMote. I had a 3 Scarlet studio shoot. Locked off cameras, so I disconnected the 3 RedMotes from the cameras, took them by the monitors, so I could start and stop the roll on all of them. Initially they locked up, still having a connection with the camera. When I reconnected them physically they would give an error message, prompting me to shut down the cameras. It feels like they were interfering with each other...
 
Anybody got any idea if there's a way to actually use the Flip feature for monitoring? We can only obtain a flipped/backwards image which is essentially unusable (and therefore hard to call a feature really, so I highly doubt this is what RED intends). I'm sure we must be doing something wrong. We can get the UI flipped/reversed -- and therefore legible. But the image itself is not reversed.

Anyone?????

Simple answer - in current version it flips but is not mirrored. That will happen in a future version. :-(
 
Can anyone give me some help on how to do timelapse in the night with the Epic?

As I understand I need to do averaging of the images. But how do I set everything up? How long exposure etc should I use?

Thanks

Is there any reason why the gain on the preamps cannot be set lower than 30 db? This is not particularly helpful.

I have to agree on this one. I was on a small shoot after upgrading and suddenly -30db was the lowest you could go. Previous shoot I was around -25db.
 
Been using the prerecord feature quite a bit in the field. Great addition.

There is a bit of a recognizable lag when you cut and roll again. I am guessing from having the pre-roll initiated.

Thanks for moving things forward.

@Andreas and Paul: have a look at this post, it might help to understand that feature: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showth...tup-question&p=1137413&viewfull=1#post1137413

So, on reading that thread, the best answer for exposures that take longer than 1 second is still to take an SLR with you and use that instead. The added advantage being a battery that lasts eight hours and doesn't weigh 4 kilos. Sure there's a time downside in post, but not compared to black shading and noise removal from the MX sensor derived image.
