in this topic we will continuously update you with new firmware for the Kinefinity MAVO Edge 8K. ### Today we released firmware 6715 Update Note： Upgrade from lower version firmware to 6715 use the fat 32 formatted drive you got with your camera, make sure only fw 6715 is in the drive root -make sure you have enough battery power for at least 15 minutes, so the installation doesnt get interrupted. Restart Edge in the calibration mode by holding the menu button while pressing the power button for 1 second, hold the menu button for 4 more seconds when booting. if you succeeded you will see a yellow line indicating your in ‘calibration mode’ perform a black balancing (menu | system | black balance) Restart Edge, and your done New Updates Added Shutter speed/angle fine-tuning. Added ProRes 4444 high-efficiency mode, the data rate is optimized to 50% of standard ProRes 4444 with marginal compromising on the quality of the image, it also supports ProRes 4444 editing and color grading system. this makes the new codec more efficient than prores 422 hq but with better image quality. Added Timecode Jam Sync function Added FF 8K OG(8192X5288) resolution Adjust lowest recording fps from 6fps to 2fps Improvement Improved the stability of the camera system under ProRes4444 codec SDI output supports the anamorphic format Video output shows correct output Dead pixel removal is effective under calibration mode SDI output is stable when recording 75 or higher fps Recording is stable when continuously pressing the rec button Improved the stability of identifying KineMAG Nano 1TB after hot-swapping. Prores 444 efficiency codec One of the most striking features of this update is Prores 444 efficiency codec. Its a new sort of compression which reduces file size to about 50% compared to the original Prores 444 filesize, this is smaller than Prores 422HQ, and it will playback on any computer and nle. As a comparison Prores 444 is 1.5 more data than 422hq. so now the new Prores 444 format is only 75% of prores 422HQ. And image degradation is kind of absent, we will run some deep test but it seems awesome!

This is probably a stupid question but got the Edge yesterday and only had a quick look but i noticed the side display on the camera didn’t have anything on it…Codec ect. Is it something i am missing in the menu to turn this on? Many Thanks J

JamesC there are no stupid questions! The full ability to see also the middle part of the sidedisplay reflecting important settings like codecn media and resolutins and audio settings, will be enabled in the next upcoming firmware. BY the way if you just got your camera you probably are not yet on firmware 6715 which you find in the post above.(i merged your question in the fw topic)

HI Jermoe, All updated! One other thing that i find strange is that when changing iso or wb on the side you cant look at the side screen and choose what you need as nothing changes…you need to look at the monitor to see the changes…Seems like an easy fix that would need to be done as i seen a youtube video were that already worked. Many Thanks J

JamesC it’s indeed a easy fix. So will soon be adressed!

Jerome Hello. Is there a way for Apple / Mac (only) computer users to do the firmware update? The SSD card can only be read and downloaded from - but not uploaded to - via OSX.

MAuger I guess this is a misunderstanding. You do a fw update with a USB stick fat 32 formatted. The fw can both be downloaded on a mac or Windows computer and out on a USB stick. The camera is shipped with a USB stick with a USB c converter to put in the camera. Let us know if this worked for you!

Ahhh, ok. Will do it that way now. Thank you Jerome

Success with update. Then spent last hour trying to get the App to work, but have not been able to so far. Any suggestions. I’ve tried connecting to my home wifi (after generating a QR code). The Edge asks to connect when I place QR in front. It then flashes ‘wifi’ for several seconds but does not give an indication it has connected. I test with App but it ’failed to connect). I do have the antennae on. Any suggestions?

MAuger hamg in there your almost there. If you connected then you will see when you prees menu left hand corner the op address. You can fill that in on the app and it will work. Let us k pw if you succeeded!

Super interesting. Any chance we could get a second of exported material from a high-detail scene (lots of tree leaves or bubbling water) in both regular Prores4444 and this new Prores4444 HE?

Jerome

frstfilm Hey if you need to go inside calibration mode, for balack calibration please read our tutorial.

trouterspace

Can we expect a firmware update on the earlier Mavo models that will add 444he?

Jerome

trouterspace I don’t think so. But let’s see.

mattuhry

Hi Jerome - was wondering if you had any info on new Edge firmware ? Especially hoping for some user frameline / blanking options on the SDI outputs.

Jerome

mattuhry Hey Yes, as we speak I am testing a new fw update, with 24,25,30 on the sdi, and an option to have the menu being outputted as well. alot other features are included as well, should be released within a week!

frstfilm

sounds great jerome!

not really a software related question - but is there any info or hint on what’s to expect for the “ext1 +2” connections on the right side?

Jerome

frstfilm ext 1 and ext 2 will be for wifi dongle, most probably. very fast and almost latency free for high quality on set monitoring.

Jerome

Quick peak inside fw 7.0 !
Please don’t share this video outside the forum. For your eyes only 🙂

iiiNelson

Jerome I’m assuming there will be firmware update videos coming soon too on how to update the Edge.

iiiNelson

Can’t wait for the new FW… touch screen functionality will be huge on its own even without the other updates.

frstfilm

wonderful that the kinemon will turn into touch! also the new ui looks nice from the first glimpse!
i hope they did a bit of work on the audio menu as well. i found it pretty strange that there’s no way to actually monitor audio input even though having 2xlr’s.

Jerome

iiiNelson Yes for sure I will make these quick non-corporate videos to show you how to do your fw upgrade, don’t worry!

@frstfilm agreed, its kind of weird and unfinished.

reelmedia

Hello, what’s the latest firmware available at the moment, this information is really hard to find!

Jerome

We always have the latest fw on our website .
No need to look elsewhere. Gafpagear > support kinefinity support > mavo edge > firmware

We always have the latest fw on our website .

Oh, thanks Jerome!

MDP

Has touch screen been added in 6715?

Jerome

MDP touch screen is added in os7 which is now in beta.

zachwolfe

Just received my Edge! I didnt buy a Kine monitor as I have plenty of monitors. @jerome can you point me to the beta firmware file that will allow me to use an SDI monitor to control the camera? Also is there a simple video or tutorial somewhere to use the kinefinity IOS app? At the moment i cant do anything with the camera except power on and see an image through SDI monitor. Thank you!

Jerome

zachwolfe hey zach I am sorry to hear you don’t have the kinemon. It’s a bit annoying that the fw got delayed. The beta version has a lot of great stuff except menu over sdi. Also it will be hard to upgrade the fw without the kinemon. Where did you bought your camera? Ots important for the reseller to know about such limitations. I am sorry.

zachwolfe

Jerome is this fw available with touchscreen?

Jerome

zachwolfe will share it here this weekend!
