LINE LEVEL ANALOG INPUTS

The recording level of a Line input is affected only by the signal provided by the field production sound

mixer or other external line level source. The sound mixer operator should choose a mixer output level

that aligns a reference tone signal to the 0dBu (-20dBFS) reference mark drawn on the camera’s Audio

Level Meter, or if using 0VU as reference level, a mixer output level that aligns a reference tone signal to

the 0VU (-16dBFS) reference mark.

This setting provides up to 24dB of input signal headroom above reference 0dBu level before clipping (up

to 20dB above 0VU reference level) and maximizes the signal to noise ratio of the 24-bit digital recording.

VIDEO MONITORING OUTPUTS

In its default configuration, the RED DSMC camera can simultaneously support one VIEWFINDER output

(suitable for use by a BOMB EVF

, or RED LCD) plus one PROGRAM output and one PREVIEW output

(suitable for use by HDMI or HD-SDI monitors). The various monitor outputs can support a set of overlay

graphics including camera GUI, timecode, clip name and framing guides; the specific overlay graphics for

each type of output is user configurable.

The default VIEWFINDER output is the EVF / LCD connector located on the front face of the Side SSD

Module. If neither of these is connected, the VIEWFINDER output can be transferred to either the HDMI

output or the HD-SDI output of the camera Brain.
