Hi All!
Hope this is the right place to post this...
I'm currently on my 4th Ursa Mini 4.6k due to the previous 3 having faults. Each Time I RMA the camera they just send me a new one. 2 out of the previous 3 RMAs were because of 'Dead','Stuck' or 'Hot' Pixels on the sensor. Now I've just discovered that my current Ursa has developed a Stuck Pixel.
I'm at the point of just accepting that I will have to use the 'Dead Pixel Fixer' tool in resolve for every shot but other cameras like the Canon DSLRs and Sony A7SII have in camera Dead Pixel Remapping where the camera locates faulty Pixels and replaces the information from that pixel with the information from the surrounding pixels.
It doesn't seem like a particularly intensive thing to include in the next firmware update. The process could be triggered manually in-Camera with the Black Shade Calibration.
I think it would save Blackmagic a lot of money rather than just sending out new cameras.
Let me know what you guys think, and let me if the Research and Development team at Blackmagic have a suggestion box box!
(I know some of you will be wondering, But I have no idea how I've managed to get so many cameras with faulty pixels in a row. I've researched into this extensively and I cannot figure out whats caused them in my particular situation. My Current camera was tested by a technician before it was sent to me and I believe the sensor was spotless when it first arrived, Leaving me to believe that this is an error that has developed over a very shot space of time.)
