Scarlet and Epic BUILD 4.0.6 BETA

[AndreasOberg]

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.

Does anyone know how to get exposures longer than one second in time lapse mode?

Also, do we have to do a black shading calibration before each time lapse setting?

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/showthr...=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.
