URSA Mini 4.6 - Repro Case| Sensor Bug -Magenta Edge Shift

Lee..I believe you...I don't believe tech support that keep telling me the images look great...its getting a bit insulting. I have 20 years experience in this and its an insult to my intelligence to keep beating that same drum...however, when I spoke over the phone with blackmagic, they told me that they definitely looked wrong...so I am essentially getting 2 different stories from the folks at BM...Im sure they are in defcon 4 over this so I want to be understanding...I am sure they will resolve it...but the dishonesty makes me a bit concerned...appreciate your feedback!

You never want to be in the position to make excuses to a client or have to explain anything.
Anyone can see that this is not acceptable.

I don't see how this can be questioned about being an issue or not.
Like I said my big ursa has an even image. All it's lacking is maybe 4.6k and like 15 stops with global.

My images look like this in most cases...however, every dng I have sent to tech support keeps coming back as fine...I do not this this is right...here is one that I know has issues...can anyone please tell me if this is normal..after 20 years of working with video and film..I have not seen this before.
Thanks!

Hi Chad,

with all that white in a room like that it would have been impossible to get an acceptable result with my camera which is undergoing an RMA.

I downloaded your image and did a quick neutralization of the white background. I was going for a clean white not a natural warm white.

It was impossible for me to achieve an acceptable result with temperature sliders only. Which is alway going to be the standard by which I measure. However, resolving to using a more advanced technique involving alteration of the matrix and thus inevitably a slight shift in color representation/saturation - was able to neutralize for a clean white background.

Now, I am NOT able to achieve a remotely similar result with my camera which HAS been labeled "RMA" and while I was not present in that room I have no idea as to whether the colors are off. However, while the results in the initial frame were exhibiting a magenta color cast - on a Matrix level it was possible to neutralize.

On a second note, I don't think people should have to resolve to matrix ops. to be able to de-cast an image. But those are two diff. topics.

1 - being an impossible to remove non-uniform lateral color shift: Hardware Issue
2 - being a possible to remove uniform color cast: Software Issue (Matrix Calibration)

Prior is an RMA case - Latter is a firmware fix.

First image is normal second employs a power function which should (if present) reveal any hardware non-uniform issue.
