  1. #1 Weird B/W Signal on RED Touch 5" LCD after Startup - help, please!!! 
    Hey RED-users,
    I've had a very annoying problem with my Scarlet-X / RED Touch 5" lately:
    After startup, the LCD only shows it's left have in white and it's right half in black with green stripes (image attached).

    After restarting the camera it usually works, but today on a shoot it took me 10(!) restarts,
    until the LCD finally showed the correct image. Couldn't work like that and had to switch to my DSLR...

    Has anyone had similar problems?
    Any advice how to solve it?

    Thanks guys, any help is highly appreciated!!!

    Pressing the buttons on the side of the monitor works for me. My Scarlet almost always start up with this b/W screen, sucks, but hope a fix is on the way...

    all the best

    Actually 99 per cent of Scarlet owners (me too...) got this annoying problem after the firmware update. I rolled back to the 3.2.8 version of the firmware but this didn't fix the problem. Hoping in a prompt firmware to fix this...

    Problem solved, thanks for the quick help!
    Haha, it actually is that easy:
    Just press the lower button on the LCD and everything works fine.

    Shame on me for not figuring it out myself and sorry for opening a thread for this silly issue!
    Hope at least it's helpful for some of the other 99% of the users facing the same problem...

    I don't have the side handle and it happens to me. I do believe it is software related and not hardware related. Sure it'll get resolved in the next build. Pulling out the cable can be difficult sometimes cause they are so well built...at least they are for me (maybe I'm just weak...ha, ha).
