when can we expect a firmware update?

can anyone shine some light when we can expect a firmware update for the BMCC?

maybe some 2.5K prores?

you can hope for nab 2014

can anyone shine some light when we can expect a firmware update for the BMCC?

My guess would be a few months after August?, Since the Compressed CinemaDNG will not be ready late July for the Production cameras debut, I would also guess BMD will want to combine any new fixes/additions along with the Compressed CinemaDNG update.

Just my guess.

I would say earlier Darryl. The new cameras will ship with the updated firmware. Currently scheduled for July. (I expect end of July) I would think production will be rolling in late May/June to create some volume for shipping.

Once the firmware is locked down for manufacturing, I don't see why they would delay releasing it for the BMCC. Unless they have some business model plan that would require such.

I think we'll see it in early July.

My 2 cents (Canadian)

Canadian cents is senseless JK
Maybe Sean, But from all the NAB BMD Reps talking about firmware being one firmware throughout all three cameras?? I have my doubts this is the case,
And the 4K production camera will be shipping late July 100%
So I doubt any "Major/all/cameras firmware" will be ready by then..

But we shall see.

well, I played with all three cameras at the show and all three had pretty much the EXACT same interface on their LCDs...so they certainly look and behave the same...

Interface/Menus at NAB has nothing to do with recording formats, I.e Compressed CinemaDNG or VU Meters etc...via future firmware updates.

They looked the same because there was nothing "NEW" added to the menu system when you drooled over them at NAB!

I'm trying to say that all three cameras will have the same firmware!
So why would the BMCC get it first? other than the fact it was released first?
But knowing BMD it will be released when they have a significant update for all 3 cameras.

It will be a one version Firmware release for all three cameras (V5 or V10 whatever), and depending on what camera is plugged it to your PC/Mac it will update that camera as needed.

Hope that makes sense.

i really want some frame guides, and my canon v1 24-70 have aperture control. please BMD?

When it's ready?

Best answer yet Pete, Vague as hell, but honest as hell

Isn´t this a funny OFFICIAL forum.. people ask questions.. and there is never an OFFICIAL answer.. just guessings from other users

Hello

Hi guys


To the development team.

- Format the SSD directly from camera. VERY IMPORTANT
- Be able to write labels the SSD (important for DIT, Data Wrangler, avoid overwriting errors).
- Remaining recording time in SSD (percentage or time options) and alarm display. VERY IMPORTANT
- VUs for audio. VERY IMPORTANT
- Remove clips directly from the camera.
- When playing the clips, the display information is for the clip (ASA, fps, # clip, etc), in version 1.1 shows the camera settings. the PLAY arrow could be green.
- Play any recorded clip. Whether you've recorded on the different options (Raw. ProRes, DNxHD), currently only played clips of current camera selection.
- If you record in RAW, with Film color. if change the Video, when I play previously recorded clips, they affect reproduction. In my personal opinion, I think that should not happen, or be optional.
- Possible to have transparency for the menu interface. in areas that do not have information, (solid gray, gray background I mean).
- Option to access by key combination to view the current firmware version and other information of the camera hardware and camera settings. (Ex. push STOP for 5 sec or push and hold STOP y next PLAY)
- Choice of different colors peaking
-White balance manual option (Ex. change in values ​​of 100ºK).
-More pictures. 48fps, 60 and more.
- Option to select the information superimposed on the screen, and the SDI output independently (Audio VU, TC, guides etc).
- Waveform, Histogram.
To use the USB port to copy the material (I know, it's so slow USB information), but from experience can be an interesting and util option.
- Possible to have a Data Manager software, you can make a more secure verification, you can also help organize the material in a production

I will continue making suggestions.

Thank you very much.

Is there some type of mailing list we can subscribe to when the firmware update does come out?

To my knowledge, the next firmware version does not yet have a set release date. When it's released, you will see it posted here to the forum.

Sounds like it's due "very soon" - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6969#p44179

Very soon = very awesome. Can't wait.

Christine or other,

The new cameras had a much better (green) focus assist on them. Is that something that will be brought to the BMCC 2.5k camera? And is that part of the next update?

Pretty sure the "very soon" reference is about the Camera Utility software update.

can anyone shine some light when we can expect a firmware update for the BMCC?

When it's ready?

awww man, i should have realized that.

MODS please delete this thread. We got our answer.

thanks Petey.
