CLIP NAMING CONVENTIONS
When you press RECORD, the camera automatically creates a unique name for the CLIP being recorded to the
REDMAG 1.8” SSD media. The format of this name is:
Camera Reel Month + Day (A001_C002_0502**.RDC )
Where: A = camera A, 001 = reel 001, C002 = clip 002, and 0502 = May 02, and the digits * * are two random
characters generated by the camera to prevent any possibility of duplicate names being created.
So a three Clip sequence of Clip Folders within a Magazine Folder on Camera A would look like this:
A001_C001_0502**.RDC
A001_C002_0502**.RDC
A001_C003_0502**.RDC
MULTI CAMERA SHOOTS
The scheme provides flexibility to uniquely identify Clips from different cameras on a multi-camera shoot.
For example three cameras, slated as camera A, camera B, and camera C respectively, can generate these
easily recognizable clips on their respective digital media Magazines.
A001_C001_0502**.RDC
B001_C001_0502**.RDC
C001_C001_0502**.RDC
3D (STEREO) CAMERA SHOOTS
The scheme also allows unique identification of Clips from left and right eye cameras on a stereo shoot.
For example two cameras, both slated as Camera S, can generate these easily recognizable clips on their re-
spective digital media Magazines.
S001_L001_0502**.RDC
S001_R001_0502**.RDC
MEDIA CAPACITY REMAINING STATUS
The Viewfinder output(s) will display the remaining media capacity in the MEDIA indicator (100% is shown).
At 10%, remaining capacity the media status will turn yellow, at 5% it will turn red. At 2%, remaining the cam-
era will cease recording. This reserves a small amount of capacity for ancillary data to be written to the media.
NOTE:
When media is full, the SIDE SSD LED will flash Red.
EJECT MEDIA FROM CAMERA (UNMOUNT)
IMPORTANT:
Media must always be Ejected (un-mounted) prior to removal or disconnection from the camera.
This ensures power is removed from the digital media and any open data files are closed. Failure to do so may
result in lost data or corrupted files.
Removing an SSD without first un-mounting it will not physically damage the media, however it does increase
the risk of file corruption, so it’s good operational practice to un-mount the media if possible before removing
or disconnecting.
IMPORTANT:
Unmounting the digital media takes a few seconds, protects the integrity of your recorded data
and helps clips mount instantly to your workstation once in post-production, so it’s a recommended habit to
develop. If you do not un-mount the media the camera will offer a warning – your files may not be damaged,
but you will have been warned!
NOTE:
The camera will respond to physical removal of the media without un-mounting and display ”MEDIA RE-
MOVED PRIOR TO UNMOUNT – DATA INTEGRITY RISK”.
