C. New Features in SUP 6.1
Improved noise reduction algorithms
The noise reduction function (MENU>SYSTEM>SENSOR) has been improved with enhanced motion detection
algorithms for even better noise reduction.
Support for noise reduction in HD
Noise reduction is also available in HD and 2K modes (HD, HD Ana., 2K, 2.39:1 2K Ana.) up to 60 fps. The algorithms
and parameters are the same as in UHD mode.
Image sharpness range extended
The image sharpness range (MENU>SYSTEM>SENSOR) is extended and images can be sharpened more strongly.
Defect pixel correction - static correction
The defect pixel correction is further improved.
SDI output follows project frame rate
When changing the project framerate, the SDI output framerate will be set to the same frame rate (as the sensor
frame rate does).
Frame line shading
The area outside the frame line can be shaded with a certain opacity (MENU>MONITORING>EVF MONITOR>EVF
OVERLAYS>FRAME LINES SHADING), (MENU>MONITORING>SDI>SDI PROCESSING>SDI OVERLAYS>FRAME LINES
SHADING).
Faster boot up time
Camera boot up time has been accelerated and is now about 4 seconds faster than with SUP 5.4.
Green tally in viewfinder
The green tally insert is now displayed in the viewfinder image, giving the camera person a green tally alert in all
configurations, including the new VMM-1 (Video Monitor Multicam).
Intercom talkback with VTR button (or user button)
The intercom talkback of the DTS fiber system can now be triggered with a user button on the camera or the VTR
button on an ENG lens (MENU/USER BUTTONS). This allows for an easy access to talkback when the camera is on the
shoulder. Requires the latest firmware for the DTS system.
CAP enhancements
For more enhanced remote functions and tools, the CAP (Camera Access Protocol) has been extended for RCP iris
control, video parameters, audio, camera setup, frame lines and more.
ECS improvements
The ECS (Electronic Control system) has been improved by the immediate OCU override cancelation from WCU-4.
General improvements and bug fixes
• Several bug fixes have been included.
• For a simplified trouble shooting, a compressed ZIP file including log files, HWinfo file and setup file can be
exported.
• A warning message is displayed if the internal battery for the camera system clock is too low.
• Factory default setting for WiFi power is set to “On”, other defaults remain unchanged.
• False Color Mode can be changed while False Color is active.
