Congratulations on your purchase of one of the following RED DSMC

Digital Still and Motion Cameras:

 EPIC-M

 EPIC-X

 SCARLET-X

Each RED DSMC has either a DRAGON sensor or a MYSTERIUM-X sensor.

The RED family of Digital Still and Motion Cameras (DSMC) provide high performance digital imaging over a

wide range of frame rates and optical formats including Super 35mm/APS-H.

DRAGON SENSOR

With the 6K RED DRAGON

™

sensor, you can capture over 9 times more resolution than HD. Unrivaled detail and

impressive native exposure eclipse 35mm film in both latitude and image density. Industry leading specs distin-

guish the DRAGON sensor as a model for image innovation, helming the evolution of digital cinema technology.

MYSTERIUM-X

SENSOR

The MYSTERIUM-X sensor has been specifically designed for use with the RED DSMC camera, and in the EPIC

provides variable frame rate imaging at up to 95 FPS at 5K FF resolution, and up to 400 FPS at 1K WS resolu-

tion.

Native color balance for the MYSTERIUM-X sensor is 5,000 KELVIN, but it may be electronically compensated

for any color temperature in the range 1,700 to 10,000 KELVIN. White balance preset values include Tungsten

(3200K) and Daylight (5600K) light sources. The camera may also calculate a color neutralizing White Balance

value on demand by imaging on a standard white or 18% gray card.

The MYSTERIUM-X sensor includes high precision analog to digital conversion, capable of delivering up to 13.5

stops of dynamic range with daylight light sources over a camera sensitivity rating of 320-800 ISO. In HDR

mode, dynamic range can be extended to approximately 18 stops.
