REDMOTE

REDMOTE is a camera control unit for RED’s family of DSMC cameras that attaches to the rear of the

camera Brain or rearmost expansion module. REDMOTE may also be detached from the camera or

rearmost module and provide wireless remote control of the camera over proprietary REDlink™ protocol.

Whether attached or operating via wireless, REDMOTE supports all controls necessary to operate the

camera, including Record Start / Stop, Shutter Speed, White Balance, ISO and programmable User Keys.

A color LCD displays critical camera parameters, including media and battery capacity, timecode and clip

name, lens data and exposure information.

REDMOTE LCD display

REDMOTE includes a rechargeable Li-Ion battery, which automatically re-charges when attached to the

camera or rearmost module. It may also be re-charged by connecting to a USB 2.0 based power source

such as a laptop PC or cell phone charger. Under typical operating conditions, REDMOTE should operate

for up to 8 hours without requiring a re-charge and support a wireless communication range of

approximately 50 ft.

DIGITAL MAGAZINE (MEDIA)

REDCODE RAW compressed MOTION clips and STILL images; time code, multi-channel audio and

metadata may be recorded to a REDMAG 1.8” SSD magazine of 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB

capacity.

Each clip is recorded with a unique name in a clip folder with the extension .RDC. This folder contains all

appropriate information describing the clip, including one or more REDCODE RAW .R3D files and all color

grading metadata and other system level metadata such as lens and location information. Refer to CLIP

NAMING CONVENTIONS.

The individual clip folders are placed into a magazine folder (i.e. root directory) on the digital media. This

magazine folder has the extension .RDM. As this folder contains all the recorded clips; copying all clips

recorded on the SSD to other media may be performed by a drag and drop operation on the .RDM folder.

Note: When using a RED STATION in conjunction with a 512GB REDMAG, an AC Power Adaptor

will be required for offload. The RED STATION may not function properly when powered by a USB

or Firewire cable.
