Epic firmware version 6.20 does not work reliably with RedByte monitors when recording at 25fps
Epic firmware version 6.24 beta resolves the RedByte compatibility problem
Using a Decimator downconverter or Lockit box on Epic running firmware 6.20 provides a workaround when RedByte is required
Epic firmware 6.20 functions correctly with RedByte when shooting at 23.94fps or NTSC
The frame rate incompatibility at 6.20 affects 25fps and other non-standard frame rates but not 23.94fps

The discussion references a beta firmware version 6.24 whose final release status is unknown
One participant reported no issues with a different downconverter on an unspecified earlier firmware version
The exact circumstances and complete set of affected frame rates remain partially unclear
