Line Level Analog Inputs; Video Monitoring Outputs; Bomb Evf; Red Lcd - Red Epic Epic-M Operation Manual

LINE LEVEL ANALOG INPUTS

The recording level of Line inputs are 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 (0.775 volts RMS / -20dBFS) reference mark drawn
through the camera's Peak Meter, or if using +4dB as reference level, a mixer output level that aligns a
reference tone signal to the +4dBu (1.23 Volts RMS / -16dBFS) reference mark.
The 0dBu setting provides up to 24dB of input signal headroom above reference level before clipping
(20dB for +4dBu reference level) and the maximum signal to noise ratio for the 24-bit digital recording.

VIDEO MONITORING OUTPUTS

In its default configuration, the RED EPIC camera can simultaneously support one VIEWFINDER output
(suitable for use by a BOMB EVF®, or RED LCD) plus one HD-SDI based PROGRAM output. Each output
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, VIEWFINDER output will be automatically transferred to the HD-
SDI output of the camera Brain.

BOMB EVF

A 1280 x 784 pixel resolution progressive scan color image equivalent to viewing a 17" reference monitor
from a distance of about 3ft (1m), with Surround View™ look around area, frame guides and safe action /
title, zebra and false color exposure overlays, operational status and setup menus.

RED LCD

A 800 x 480 resolution RGB 4:4:4 progressive scan touchscreen video display with Surround View™ look
around area, frame guides and safe action / title, zebra and false color exposure overlays, operational
status and setup menus.

HD-SDI

A 1920 x 1080p PROGRAM (clean feed) output suitable for monitoring or recording to an external VTR or
DDR device. May be configured for 10-bit Gamma or 10-bit LOG encoded video data. Three different
viewing options are available, Preview (menus), Guides (frame guides only) and Program (clean feed).
Refer to SECONDARY MENUS > SETTINGS MENU > AUDIO/VIDEO > MONITOR CONTROL for
complete details.
When an HD-SDI monitor is connected along with an LCD or EVF, only the main screen menu items will
be displayed in Grayed-out text. The menu items will reflect any changes made to Frame Rate, ISO,
Shutter Speed, White Balance, Resolution, and REDcode settings, and will not display the same
information as the LCD / EVF while making adjustments. Example, when the secondary menus are
accessed using the touchscreen LCD, the HD-SDI output will not show the secondary menus, only the
main screen menus.
