URSA Dead Pixel

PostSun Feb 01, 2015 3:35 pm

It looks like I have a dead pixel on my URSA. Tried multiple lenses, no dust on sensor, multiple external monitors, etc. One tiny little hot spot in my image. Is there a way to do a pixel shift or another work-around for this? Thank you!

You're lucky you have only one :-) I have a gazillion of white defective pixels on my BMPC 4K. Im still waiting for a magic firmware that removes these.

There are some workarounds but you have either to export your footage or its time consuming (okay for one pixel it should be okay):

One is good to live with Bob! :)
I'm experiencing the same troubles of Daniel on my BMPC.

I have had Sony cameras for years and have never had one problem. I have had this URSA since September, had to RMA the first one received the day I received it and now a burnt-out pixel. It is not ok for manufacturers to have these types of quality issues, we should be demanding more from them.

I know that is boring Bob, if BM will introduce a pixel remap feature in camera or in Resolve it will be great!
