 TC Red: Analog time code is being detected, but the use of it is not enabled
 TC Green: Analog time code is being used to jam the time of day time code. TC will revert to gray if the signal
is no longer detected
GEN
 GEN Gray: No genlock signal is currently detected, or the presented signal cannot cross-lock to project
(24.00 FPS vs. 23.98 FPS).
 GEN Red: During process of sync, or genlock is lost while recording.
 GEN Green: A genlock signal matching the current HD-SDI monitor rate has been locked to.
 GEN Yellow: When timing is cross-locking to compatible but not matching monitor rate. For example, gen-
lock = 24.00, and HD-SDI monitor rate = 25.00.
NOTE: 3D operation should not be done if GEN is yellow. This is a warning that genlock source settings and
camera settings are not aligned. Phasing of the sync between cameras cannot be guaranteed when GEN is
yellow.
SYNC
 SYNC Gray: The sensor sync mode is not Genlock.
 SYNC Red: The sensor sync mode is Genlock, but it is not locked to any genlock signal, or genlock or sen-
sor sync is lost while recording.
 SYNC Green: A genlock signal compatible with the HD-SDI monitor rate has been locked to and the sensor
timing is also locked to it.
POWER STATUS
If powering camera through DC power, the current voltage will be displayed. If using batteries, the remaining
battery time displays.
If using a RED BRICK or similar external battery to power the camera through DC IN, power status displays
the current supply voltage available from the battery. Supply voltage decreases as battery is discharged, the
displayed text is color coded as follows:
 Green: 12.0 V and up
 Yellow: 11.9 – 11.8 V
 Red: 1.7 – 11.6 V
NOTE: The camera will automatically power down if supply voltage drops to 11.5 Volts.
If using a REDVOLT battery in the SIDE HANDLE or Battery Module to power the camera, power status displays
the location of the power source (example: SH: SIDE HANDLE; RM: Rear Module) and reports the remaining
battery capacity and the displayed text is color coded as follows:
 Green: >10 minutes
 Yellow: 5-10 minutes
 Red: <5 minutes
If using a RED BRICK battery connected to DC IN, power status displays BRICK and reports the % of remaining
battery capacity and the displayed text is color coded as follows:
 Green: >10 minutes
 Yellow: 5-10 minutes
 Red: <5 minutes
RAW CLIP METER
The RAW Clip meter looks a traffic light style meter and indicates if either of the Red, Blue or Green channels
of the RAW sensor data are clipping. This meter is unaffected by White Balance, ISO, VIEW or LOOK settings
and therefore represents a true measurement of the exposure levels of the sensor at all times.
