Software Questions

PostWed Dec 29, 2021 1:39 am

I have a couple of software related questions for the 6K Pro:

1) How can you check which version of software is currently installed on the camera? My Mac shows I downloaded Blackmagic Camera and RAW software on October 26, 2021. But, it does not identify the software version downloaded. I then updated the camera with this software. I think it was 7.3, but how can I check which version is loaded on the camera?

2) I believe the latest version of the software available is 7.3.1. If I download and install that version will it also update BlackMagic RAW or do I need to download and update that separately?

Thanks!

if you have read all the readme on every update:

7.3 is for the 4k and 6k pocket
7.3.1 for 6k pro (delivered with 7.3 or 7.3.1)
7.4 and 7.4.1 for the new 4k studio cameras
7.5.1 for the 6k pro
7.6 for the 6k broadcast G2 camera
7.7 for the ursa mini 12k

then you would know, the 6k pro is at 7.5.1 firmware by now

and in the setup menu on the third window you can see your firmware version on your 6k pro

latest BRAW and BRAW player on your computer will installed by newest resolve,
or you download the BRAW software separately.

the blackmagic camera setup app only allow you to set your camera clock,
or install a new firmware if available with the latest blackmagic camera setup.

bmpcc4k: How do I set the camera clock with the "camera setup" app? Is there an app which does this via bluetooth?

Ok, it does this without asking. But anyway, is there an app to set date and time by phone?

the app is called TC toolbox (iOS, do not know if there is a droid version)

but you need a 3,5mm audio cable between

Thank you for answering, but this app just sends a timecode signal to jam sync and does not set the RTC.

Mark I had iPhone 7 Plus that still had 3.5 mm audio but … do you know if it work for newer iPhone and digital adapter lighting to analog 3.5mm. In the near future I think to update my 6 year old phone :-)
