Hi all,

I was working with a rented Red as a DIT and I found one, which was outputing the video by the SDI output during the formatting process, the LCd and VF was showing the black screen with text and progress bar. The build was the last 17 one.
Yestereday I have work with an other Red also the last build 17 and the sdi video output was the black screen with the progres bar and text.

I don't understand that...can somemone as an answer on how to avoid the formatting screen on sdi output? it it something to do in the menu?

thank you guys.

It must have, that's the only way to not see the formatting screen on the outputs.

Just to ask again [can't help myself], it sure would be nice if the camera let us see through the formatting screen on the onboards too...
