Set Up Motion Control (Moco) - RED EPIC-M DRAGON (Carbon Fiber) Operation Motion

EPIC/SCARLET OPERATION GUIDE

SET UP MOTION CONTROL (MOCO)

NOTE: When using MoCo, set the frame rate to be at least two times (2x) the fastest trigger rate used. When using
MoCo, REDCODE is calculated based on fps/2. Therefore, if you are in MoCo mode, and the frame rate is 100.83 fps,
the maximum REDCODE is calculated based on a frame rate of 50.415 fps.
NOTE: HDRX is not available when MoCo is enabled.
NOTE: Genlock and timecode can also be used with MoCo.
Motion Control, or "MoCo" for short, is a form of sensor synchronization used to automate precision camera
movements required for special effects and difficult shots. Motion Control uses GPIO signals transmitted using the
SYNC (GPI) and CTRL (GPO) ports on the camera or a connected Pro I/O Module or REDCAST Module.
For more information on GPIO connections, go to
To set up MoCo, follow the instructions below:
1. Connect the Motion Control device to the camera using a 3BNC-to-00 LEMO Sync Cable.
Sync In: Connect the white BNC connector to the Motion Control device and the 00B LEMO connector to the
SYNC port on the camera.
Sync Out: Connect the yellow BNC connector to the Motion Control device and the 00B LEMO connector to
the CTRL port on the camera.
2. Go to Menu > Settings > Setup > GPIO/Sync > Sync.
3. Select MoCo from the Sensor Sync Mode drop-down menu.
