CAMERA ID (SLATE)

If operating on a multi-camera production, enter a different Camera ID for each camera; otherwise skip

this step; the camera is ready to shoot.

The Camera ID is set when the media is formatted. Refer to ADVANCED MENU > MEDIA for details.

RECORDING

Ensure a formatted REDMAG 1.8” SSD is inserted in the camera’s Side SSD Module, then fully depress

any one of the RECORD buttons located on the Brain, Side SSD Module, Side Handle or REDMOTE.

Fully depress again to stop recording. The camera will automatically create a unique and sequential file

name for each clip recorded on the SSD based on the Camera’s I.D set in the MEDIA menu.

REDCODE RAW data recordings store the Color Temperature and Exposure (ISO) and any RGB color

processing values you use in the monitor path as metadata. This metadata is used in REDCINE-X or

other post-production software as initial white balance, exposure and color correction points however,

you are free to change these values at any time when you process the RAW footage.

Time Code and Edge Code values used by the camera are Non Drop Frame (NDF); Drop Frame (DF) is

not supported. Audio is captured uncompressed at 24-bit resolution, 48KHz sample rate per channel.

Digital media such as REDMAG 1.8” SSDs are very robust, but should be treated with equal care as

exposed film or a videotape master. We recommend storing digital media that contains your footage in a

secure location and backing up the data to a digital archival media, such as data tape or hard disk drive.

RECORD INDICATOR

When recording, the RED DSMC camera provides a variety of record indications (tallies):

- Timecode, normally displayed in white colored text, will be displayed in red colored text.

- A small Red dot will appear in the top right corner of the VIEWFINDER output(s).

- The REC LED on the right side of the camera Brain will illuminate Red.

- REDMOTE upper LED will illuminate Red, and the Timecode will turn Red.
