Digital Magazines; Metadata; Clip Naming Conventions - RED ONE Operation Manual

DIGITAL MAGAZINES

REDCODE™ RAW compressed video, time code, audio and metadata may be recorded to on-board or
attached digital media devices including:
REDFLASH ™: RED™ speed verified Compact Flash cards of 8 or 16GB capacity.
RED-DRIVE®: A hard disk media based Digital Magazine of 320 or 640GB capacity.
RED-RAM®: A solid-state flash media based Digital Magazine of 64 or 128GB capacity.
Each clip is recorded with a unique clip name and with all the appropriate elements of the clip – RED-
CODE™ RAW files and QuickTime Reference files placed in a clip folder (.RDC)
All clips are in turn placed in a root directory (.RDM) The root directory (folder) contains all the clips rec-
orded on that specific piece of digital media, so copying of clips from the digital magazine to backup me-
dia may be performed by a single drag and drop operation.

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.

CLIP NAMING CONVENTIONS

When you push record, the camera names the clip being recorded on the digital media. The format of the
clip name is Camera Letter + Reel Number + Month + Day + ** where ** is a two digit alphanumeric ran-
dom number generated by the camera for each file
E.g. A001_C002_0502A6.RDC
Where: A = camera A, 001 = reel 001, C002 = clip 002, and 0502 = May 02
And A6 is a two digit alphanumeric random number generated by the camera. This number helps avoid
duplicate file names if two cameras are inadvertently named A on the same set.
Three cameras identified as A, B and C can therefore have individually recognizable clips:
