    MEDIA. METADATA RED ONE cameras record Metadata, which is data that describes the precise characteristics of the pic- ture and sound data, in each frame of footage. This may include camera specific setup information, project and clip management information, Edge code, Time code, date and GMT, lens parameters, audio settings and any video image processing information.
  • Page 31: Smpte Timecode

    POWER CONSUMPTION A Mysterium sensor based RED ONE camera draws approximately 75 Watts (with MYSTERIUM X sensor approximately 80 Watts) in a typical accessory configuration. At this power consumption a RED-BRICK 140Wh battery will run the camera for about 90 minutes. The camera is normally cooled by passive con- vection from the camera body, assisted as required by a fan.
  • Page 32: Basic Operation

    BASIC OPERATION This section describes powering up/down and basic controls of the RED ONE camera and how to initiate a project. POWER UP / DOWN Power is supplied to the camera via a RED-BRICK battery (connected through a RED BATTERY PLATE, RED QUICKPLATE or RED CRADLE) or RED CHARGER connected to the POWER connector located at the rear of the camera.

    COLOR TEMP The Color Temperature sub-menu adjusts the purity of white reproduction of the RGB monitoring paths at different Color Temperatures of ambient light. Factory default is 5,600 degrees Kelvin. AUTO WB The Automatic White Balance (AUTO WB) function allows the camera to calculate a Color Temperature that will render a white object as white.
  • Page 42: Shutter Menu

    SHUTTER MENU Adjusts exposure time of each frame captured by the MYSTERIUM sensor. Shutter speed presets are available for all common speeds (and corresponding angles) at 24 / 25 fps and 50 / 60 fps. Preset shutter speeds may be adjusted using the RELATIVE and SYNCRO shutter parameters.
  • Page 43: Speed

    Normal: Shutter Speed is defined exclusively by the Shutter Speed setting. Syncro: Shutter Speed is defined by Shutter Speed, but modified by Syncro setting. Relative: Shutter Speed is defined by Shutter Speed, but modified by the capture fps. To adjust: Select MODE and twist joystick to change the highlighted SHUTTER MODE box to the desired setting.
  • Page 44: Syncro

    This mode is analogous to use of a fixed shutter angle on a mechanically shuttered camera. E.g. Enabling Relative mode with 1/48 sec shutter at 24fps will mean 1/96 sec for 48fps, and 1/16 for 8fps. This achieves the same visual result as setting a180 degree shutter. NOTE: Prior to recording in Timelapse with extended exposure times (1/ 3 rd sec or longer) it is recommended that a fresh Black Shading routine is performed.
  • Page 45: Varispeed

    To Convert an Angle to an Equivalent Shutter Speed: Equivalent Shutter = 1 / (Frame Rate x 360 / Angle) E.g. = 1/(24 x 360/180) = 1/(8640/180) = 1/48 Degrees Shutter Degrees Shutter 1/32 1/120 1/48 1/192 172.8 1/50 22.5 1/348 1/60 1/696...

    END RATE When Ramp is enabled, this value specifies the final (ending) speed of the ramp in frames per second. When a ramp transition has been completed, the camera will continue to record at the End Rate until the end of the Recording. Range is 1- 25 fps. Default value is 30 fps. NOTE: When in Varispeed modes the camera maintains the last exposure time selected (unless the requested frame rate requires a shorter exposure time) to provide a constant exposure.
  • Page 49: Speed

    SPEED Specifies the shutter speed to be used during Time-lapse. This control is the same as is available in the Shutter menu, but it provides access to additional shutter speeds that may be used in Time-lapse record- ing. Default setting is 1/48 sec. To adjust: Select SPEED and twist joystick to change the highlighted SHUTTER SPEED box to the desired setting.

  • Page 140: Appendix E: Exposure Tips - Using False Color And Iso

    APPENDIX E: EXPOSURE TIPS – USING FALSE COLOR AND As previously explained, Build 30 firmware introduces several new Exposure measuring tools. In the fol- lowing examples, we will show how these tools respond to a reference scene that is under-exposed, over- exposed and then correctly exposed.
  • Page 141 ISO 800 - false color: Exposure Select False Color – Exposure: note the √ E icon in the GUI when acti v e. This mode allows us to visualize where in the image underexposure is taking place. These areas are indicated in purple. Its clear those areas are under the matchbox and coin, and between the bottle and cigar holder.
  • Page 142: Overexposure (~ 2 Stops)

    Because the scene is under exposed, when the recorded .R3D file is color corrected in post-production, the scene’s highlight information will certainly not be clipped, however the shadow information will proba- bly display with significant noise once pushed to an acceptable brightness. OVEREXPOSURE (~ 2 STOPS) ISO 800 - Monitor Output In the image above it is fairly obvious the camera is over exposed.
  • Page 143 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. Its clear those areas are on the highlight on coin, and at the top right edge of the color chip test chart.
  • Page 144: 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 145 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 147 brightness of the image of the second image you will be increasing exposure at the sensor – this biases exposure in favor of minimizing noise in the scene shadows. The technique is similar in principle to re-rating a film stock. With practice the ISO rating can be used as a tool to assist ideal exposure based on the dynamic range identified within the scene.
  • Page 148: Appendix F: Post Production

    The RED ONE camera records RAW sensor data using wavelet based REDCODE RAW compression to a CF card, REDMAG, RED-DRIVE, or RED-RAM digital magazine. The compressed RAW data is then trans- ferred from the digital media via FireWire or USB-2 to a Macintosh OSX or Windows XP workstation run- ning REDCINE-X post production software.
