Page 12: Theory Of Operation
THEORY OF OPERATION 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. The RED DSMC camera is supplied as standard with a PL mount, and may be configured with mounts and 19 mm rods to accommodate most cinematography lenses, matte boxes and follow focus systems.
Page 13: Hdrx
This recording technique permits RGB color processing choices to be deferred to post production or to be adjusted in the field to help a director visualize alternative color treatments, without affecting the recorded RAW data’s image quality or dynamic range. The camera’s monitoring path converts RAW sensor data to a white balanced 12-bit depth 2048 x 1080 pixel RGB 4:4:4 video signal.
Page 14: Magic Motion
• Exporting to EXR file format will give you a multi-view EXR with both exposures (like a stereo EXR). NOTE: If you ignore the X-track data, you will have a standard exposure with up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range just as if you had not enabled HDRx. For this reason, we encourage the A-track exposure to be "normal"...
Page 15: Line Level Analog Inputs
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.
Page 16 Example of HDMI Monitor Output in MENUS mode. RED LCD / BOMB EVF ® The optional RED LCD and BOMB EVF are specialized video monitors that provide the user with a variety of tools to assist framing, focus and exposure, including: Surround View™, which is an additional look around area, visible outside of the recorded image.
Page 17: Redmote
REDMOTE ® REDMOTE is a camera control unit for RED’s family of DSMC cameras that attaches to the rear of the camera Brain or rearmost expansion module. REDMOTE may also be detached from the camera or rearmost module and provide wireless remote control of the camera over proprietary REDlink™ protocol. Whether attached or operating via wireless, REDMOTE supports all controls necessary to operate the camera, including Record Start / Stop, Shutter Speed, White Balance, ISO and programmable User Keys.
Page 18: Metadata
Typical Magazine Folder and clip structure For additional information about digital magazines, refer to APPENDIX B: MANAGING DIGITAL MEDIA. METADATA RED’s family of DSMC cameras record extensive Metadata, which is data that describes all the characteristics of the picture and sound signals in every frame of the recording. This includes camera setup information, project and RGB color management information, Clip Name, Time Code, Date and GMT, lens and shutter speed / angle parameters, audio configuration, plus any externally provided metadata.

Page 195: Appendix F: 3D Setup / Operation
APPENDIX F: 3D SETUP / OPERATION OVERVIEW The following information outlines basic procedures to connect two RED DSMC cameras together in a Master / Slave configuration for 3D operation, operation of cameras in Master / Slave configuration and clip naming conventions for clips recorded on those cameras. The MASTER camera will control only the METADATA parameters of both cameras.
Page 196: Clip Naming Conventions
1. Go to SECONDARY MENUS > SETTINGS > SETUP > COMMUNICATION > NAME and give the camera a unique NAME (CAM B, RIGHT, etc…). 2. Under TARGET select NONE. 3. Give the Slave camera a unique IP address different from the Master. CLIP NAMING CONVENTIONS REEL NO.
Page 197: Connecting Cameras
Slave: S001_R001_0503R7.R3D Where 0503 represents 05 March, B6 and R7 are examples of camera generated wildcard characters. Note: If both Master and Slave cameras are accidentally left in default settings of CENTER and CAM A ID, the clips recorded on each camera will have the same file structure, with the exception of the camera generated wildcard characters which protect against exact file name duplication: Master: A001_C001_0503B6.R3D...
Page 198: Operation
5. Verify the camera’s project frame rate matches the Genlock and Timecode generator(s) framerate(s). 6. When properly connected and synchronized, TC, GEN and SYNC will illuminate Green on the UI. OPERATION CHANGING SETTINGS When changes are made to the Master camera settings, the Slave camera setting will also change, but not in real-time.
Page 199: Appendix G: Exposure - Using False Color And
APPENDIX G: EXPOSURE – USING FALSE COLOR AND ISO NOTE: The following section uses a RED ONE camera display to illustrate exposure tools; however, the same principles apply to RED DSMC camera systems. RED DSMC cameras provide several advanced exposure indication tools. In the following examples, we will show how these tools respond to a reference scene that is under-exposed, over-exposed and then correctly exposed.
Page 200 ISO 800 - False Color: Exposure Select False Color – Exposure: note the √ E icon in the GUI when active. This mode allows us to visualize where in the image underexposure is taking place. These areas are indicated in purple. It is clear those areas are under the matchbox and coin, and between the bottle and cigar holder.
Page 201: Overexposure (~ 2 Stops)
Select False Color – Video: note the √ V icon in the GUI when active. This mode allows us to check the RGB video levels of the scene. As the peak white chips on the test chart are showing up in green and the underexpose areas are showing up in dark blue, this says the monitor path video levels are only ranging between 44 IRE and 1 IRE.
Page 202 ISO 800 - False Color: Exposure Select False Color – Exposure: note the √ E icon in the GUI when active. This mode allows us to visualize where in the image over exposure is taking place. These areas are indicated in red. It is clear those areas are on the highlight on coin, and at the top right edge of the color chip test chart.
Page 203 ISO 800 - False Color: Video Select False Color – Video: note the √ V icon in the GUI when active. This mode allows us to check the RGB video levels of the scene. As all the white chips on the test chart are Yellow, this suggests that a significant portion of the monitor path video is at the maximum legal 100 IRE value.
Page 204: Appropriate Exposure
APPROPRIATE EXPOSURE ISO 800 - Monitor Output In this image, the camera is appropriately exposed for this scene. The monitor is neither very dark nor very bright and the histogram is spread evenly given that there are bright highlights on the coin we wish not to blow out.
Page 205 ISO 800 - False Color: Exposure Select False Color – Exposure: note the √ E icon in the GUI when active. This mode allows us to visualize where there is under exposure (purple) or over exposure (red) in the image. In this case, there is a very small area of purple under the cracker box, and just a suggestion of red on the highlight on the coin, which suggested that the sensor is appropriately exposed for this scene.
Page 206 ISO 800 - False Color: Video Select False Color – Video: note the √ V icon in the GUI when active. This mode allows us to check the RGB video levels of the scene. The two green squares in the upper right corner of the color chart and green in the background indicate that the scene’s mid grey and skin tone elements, plus peak white and blacks are all at appropriate levels.
Page 207: Adjusting The Iso Rating
ADJUSTING THE ISO RATING In the following two examples, the image exposed at ISO 800 rating have had the ISO rating adjusted first to ISO 6400 and then to ISO 100. NOTE: Although the image and Histogram both adjust to changes in the ISO rating, the sensor RAW meters do not change –...
Page 208 ISO 100 - No Exposure Adjustment In these extreme examples, it is clear that the RGB domain images are respectively very bright and very dark. The histogram data reflects that, however you can also see that the sensor RAW meters are unchanged.
Page 209: Appendix H: Post Production
APPENDIX H: POST PRODUCTION RED workflow is quite easy to understand, especially if you have experience with photographic RAW image processing, or shoot 16mm or 35mm film followed by a telecine transfer to video for non-linear video editing and on-line conform. The RAW data captured by RED cameras has wide dynamic range and color space, so you can freely change the white balance, adjust exposure and alter highlight and shadow tonality in post-production.

REDCINE-X ® REDCINE-X PRO is available for Intel based Mac OSX and Windows XP platforms. The application performing white balance and one light color correction, image pan/scan, crop and scaling operations. The application can export either a single clip, or a sequence of clips, as 4K or 2K resolution 10-bit DPX or 16-bit TIFF files.
