    (8 total). 1 Redvolt battery can be mounted inside the handle. Redvolts last for about 25 minutes. The handle screws into the Scarlet body and may be removed and replaced with a flat body panel. SSD Module and Cards:...

    Media The Red Scarlet has a total of 2 different media types (VS 4 on the One): SSD (Solid State Drive) media which we currently use (for both the Scarlet and One), and the newer mini SSDs. Other media types are usable on the One, but outdated.

    In the case of simultaneous use of Red Bricks and RedVolts, the camera will run down the Red Brick completely before switching over to the RedVolt.

    Camera Settings Exposure Red Scarlet has possible ISO values of 100 to 6400. The factory default ISO setting is 800. However, ISO is metadata, and has no bearing on the actual Redcode Raw information recorded by the camera. The Red Scarlet MX sensor captures images based on a set sensitivity. Unlike traditional video cameras which have Gain to boost sensitivity of the imaging chip (by increasing voltage to the chip), the Red’s...

    Camera Looks Like the Canon 60D, users can customize the output of the Red One and Scarlet. These look settings are stored as metadata and applied to RAW image data to show an RGB image based on user preferences.

    RedCineX Pro, or Adobe Premiere Pro. Timelapse/Intervolometer As of Firmware V4 the Scarlet has built in timelapse/intervolometer functions. FRAME PROCESSING You can select the following frame processing settings: NO FRAME PROCESSING, FRAME SUMMING, FRAME AVERAGING.
  • Page 8 NOTE: When you’re in preview mode, you will not see frame summing take effect. Once you start recording, you will be able to see the brightened image. You may have to experiment with your exposure and frame summing settings before you achieve the brightness and effect you want. FRAME AVERAGING The Frame Averaging setting takes the number of specified frames, combines them into 1 frame, and averages the exposure time for each of the original frames.

  • Page 9: Timecode And Jam Sync

    Timecode and Jam Sync The Red Scarlet is capable of syncing timecode to an external source. Unfortunately timecode sync is lost when the camera is power cycled (turned off and back on). To reach the timecode options, enter the Menu -> Settings -> Project Timecode Then select the JAM SYNC option.

    The Manhattan field monitor is a high quality third party monitoring option. It may be connected to the Red camera via HDMI, or preferably 3G SDI. It runs on Sony NP style batteries. These are the same batteries which run the Sound Devices recorders, as well as the small LED light panels.

  • Page 11: Post Production

    Currently on V.30.x, RCX Pro is a invaluable on set and post production tool. You can download it for free directly from Red, or nab it off our public folder on Zoetrope. RedCineX is the easiest interface for primary colour correction. XML timelines may be imported from Premiere, used clips graded, and Premiere updated to reflect changes.
