VIDEO MONITORING OUTPUTS
In its default configuration, the RED DSMC camera can simultaneously support one VIEWFINDER output (suit-
able for use by a BOMB EVF
®
, or RED LCD) plus one PROGRAM output and one PREVIEW output (suitable for
use by HDMI or HD-SDI monitors). The various monitor outputs 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, the VIEWFINDER output can be transferred to either the HDMI output or the
HD-SDI output of the DSMC BRAIN.
All monitors are able to display a variety of features, including:
Surround View
™
, which is an additional lookaround area, visible outside of the recorded image.
Frame Guides, showing common film presentation and television aspects such as 2.40:1 and 16:9.
Focus, aided by high display resolution, 1:1 Focus Check function, and false color overlay.
Exposure, aided by dual zebra indicators, RAW “traffic lights”, and RGB histogram.
System information including current frame rate, ISO rating, shutter speed, color temperature, record reso-
lution, record quality, clip name, timecode value, and the remaining battery and media capacity.
BOMB EVF (LCOS) AND BOMB EVF (OLED)
The BOMB EVF (LCOS) and BOMB EVF (OLED) are high-definition, lightweight viewfinders that align quality
performance with compact form factor.
For applications where use of an attached RED EVF or RED LCD is not desired, such as when working on a
crane, the VIEWFINDER/MENU output can be transferred to the HD-SDI or HDMI outputs, supporting remote
camera monitoring up to 200 ft away.
RED TOUCH LCD
The RED TOUCH LCD pixel progressive scan color display allows you to view your image and navigate through
menu settings using touchscreen functionality.
For applications where use of an attached RED EVF or RED LCD is not desired, such as when working on a
crane, the VIEWFINDER/MENU output can be transferred to the HD-SDI or HDMI outputs, supporting remote
camera monitoring up to 200 ft away.
NOTE: DO NOT USE the RED LCD as a handle to lift or carry the DSMC. Damage to the RED LCD or other com-
ponents of the DSMC system caused by using the RED LCD as a handle is not covered under warranty.
NOTE: The RED LCD swivel axis has a total range of adjustment of approximately 360˚ (180˚ clockwise or coun -
terclockwise from the nominal “rear-facing” display orientation). The range of adjustment for the tilt axis is ap-
proximately 180˚. At the end of the adjustment range are internal “hard stops” for both axes. Once the swivel
or tilt hard stops have been reached, IMMEDIATELY STOP APPLYING FORCE TO THE LCD. Continuing to
apply force after reaching the internal stops may damage the friction hinge. Damage to the RED LCD or other
components of the DSMC system caused by using excessive force to rotate the RED LCD is not covered under
warranty.
HD-SDI
A 720p or 1080p progressive scan output suitable for monitoring or recording to an external VTR or DDR de-
vice. May be configured for 10-bit LIN (VIDEO) or 10-bit LOG (FILM) encoded data.
HDMI
A 720p or 1080p progressive scan output suitable for monitoring via a PC monitor or most HDTV displays.
