Tim Neale Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Recently I purchased a RED ONE MX. Or so it would appear. It was certainly listed as that on eBay. I have just tried to adjust the ISO and find the upper limit is 2000, which I would only expect on the original Mysterium sensor. Photo attached. I can't think why another setting would impose this limit. Can anyone help me by either confirming that the 2000 ISO limit means the sensor must be the earlier Mysterium sensor or explain how and why the system would impose this limit? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Field Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 When it boots up does it say "Mysterium-X" on the launch screen? I remember mine doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Neale Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 It doesn't, I'm afraid. It just says initialising, as below. I've been looking around online for a while trying to find any clues but am finding it difficult to get anything conclusive. The maximum resolution is 4.5kws.

Tim Neale Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 And this page would seem to imply that that is only available on the MX. http://vfxcamdb.com/category/camera/red/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Field Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Looks like you should get a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike P. Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 If you take a .r3d into RCXpro and go to the metadata tab, it tells you what sensor it was shot with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike P. Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Oh, by the way, sorry for reviving the thread. Only after I pushed 'submit reply' did I see it was over a year since the last response. ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Neale Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Thanks for the tip regarding the metadata. I contacted RED at the time and they pointed me to that also. I should have posted that here for others to see. It was indeed the old sensor and no, I didn't get a refund as it would have meant going to court. I did get legal advice but the expense and the time it would have required meant I took the hit unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes just a politely worded message asking for some compensation? And they might do so out of the goodness of their heart. Or use the ebay disputes resolution process, if that is how you purchased it. (anyway, too late now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am vicious with their buyer protection.
