RED LCD and HDSDI out at the same time?

[Scott Resnick]

on a shoot with two RED cameras. We cant figure out how to make the RED LCD or the RED viewfinder and make the HD out ports on the side of the camera work so we can send video out to village. Is this a firmware deal and will be fixed or a setting in the camera we missed.

Also when we attach an HD monitor instead of the RED LCD we do not see the full display in the monitor. it cuts right below where it should display the shutter, ASA information.

Lastly when were shooting the free fun time code is not displayed in real time, it slows and then catches its self back up. Any fixes to with problem yet.

Thanks so much. Having alot of fun with the RED.

Currently only one monitor at a time...hopefully this will be resolved very soon.

what firmware is on the camera?

In the Toronto tests this was resolved by replacing the RED LCD with Panny LCD that had HD-SDI I/O. This meant the signal could be routed out the side of the camera, through the first monitor and on to the second monitor.

During testing yesterday, we accidently found that we could get a signal from the HDMI port & Preview port at the same time. The tops and the bottoms of the the screen were cut off for some reason, but it showed all of the camera's frame.

What kind of monitor is needed for HDMI?

I tried a HDMI to HDMI connection to a HD LCD and it says "not supported"

I used a 25' HDMI to DVI connection to a Dell 24". I forget what model Haakon's monitor was, but it worked as well, with the same connection.

I'll try out an HDMI to HDMI right now.

Just tried the HDMI to HDMI and got the same "Not Supported" on the monitor. Weird. The HDMI to DVI seems to work just fine though. Been using that on the build 8(?) that came with the 50-100 cameras and Build 9.

I just tried an HDMI to DVI cable on 3 monitors and the last one works perfect...Dell 20" (Ultrasharp 2005FPW).

When HDMI is selected (in camera settings) you get the entire screen including the bottom menus, but PREVIEW output does not work.

When PREVIEW is selected both outputs are active, but you do not see the bottom menus on either monitor.

A couple other notes:
1. If you have CAMERA LCD selected, you can push the top right button on the LCD and toggle between LCD and HDMI and both have the full menu displayed. Its one or the other not both.

2. If you have PREVIEW selected, you can also toggle between PREVIEW and LCD with the same button. The LCD will display the bottom menus but not the PREVIEW monitor.

3. PREVIEW never displays the bottom menus even when the only monitor connected.

It's very handy to see everything showing up on the external monitors, with the exception for False Color. Can't wait to have that on the external as well.

we are using 1.3.6 and 1.3.5. Also be careful when plugging in any AUX cables to the battery plate. We have two 8.4' Panasonic monitors go down as well as a down converter that is now sketchy. Were going to have to use out own batteries for the monitors.
