MULTI CAMERA SHOOTS
The naming scheme means that three cameras, slated as A, B, C, will generate easily recognizable clips:
A001_C001_0502**.RDC
B001_C001_0502**.RDC
C001_C001_0502**.RDC
3D FOOTAGE
Refer to APPENDIX F: 3D SETUP / OPERATION > CLIP NAMING CONVENTIONS.

SMPTE TIMECODE

Edge Code is a SMPTE timecode track that always starts at 1.00.00.00 on the first frame recorded to the
digital media. It is a sequential code that is continuous from frame to frame and also continuous from clip
to clip. Edge Code is equivalent to RUN RECORD commonly found on broadcast cameras.
Time Code is a SMPTE timecode track that synchronizes to the camera's clock, or if operated in Jam
Sync mode, to an externally supplied SMPTE master timecode signal. It is a sequential code that is
continuous from frame to frame, but is discontinuous from clip to clip.
The timecode counter always updates at the same frame rate as the recording, irrespective of whether the
camera is operating in normal or Vari-Speed recording mode. This ensures that a valid SMPTE timecode
is created without count jumps that would affect clip playback during editing. If operating in Jam Sync
mode referenced to an external timecode source, the clip's master time reference point is the first frame
of the recorded clip.
NOTE: When in Loop Record mode, Edge Code will also become discontinuous from clip to clip,
because frames copied into the cache memory are discarded. This may lead to editing difficulties
with postproduction applications that assume continuous timecode.

POWER CONSUMPTION

The camera draws approximately 60 watts when recording in 5K resolution, 24fps MOVIE mode. The
camera is cooled by convection from the camera body assisted by a fan contained in a sealed air duct.
Under typical operating conditions, a REDVOLT® XL 90Wh battery will run the camera and accessories
for about 90 minutes. A REDVOLT 30Wh battery will run the camera and accessories for about 30
minutes.
