AUDIO FORMAT
The audio format is always either 2 or 4 channels of 24-bit audio data recorded at 48kHz. The audio data is
embedded in the R3D file and can be exported from REDCINE-X into separate audio files.
CHANNEL SETUP
The audio channels are set up under SETTINGS > AUDIO > AUDIO CHANNELS. Separate tabs exist to set up
the channel 1/2 and channel 3/4 properties.
SOURCE SELECTION
Audio is always recorded at channel pairs. Each of the two channel pairs can be assigned to one of the follow-
ing sources:
None
Camera Analog Microphone Input (Cam Analog)
PRO I/O Analog Microphone/Line In Input (PRO I/O Analog)
PRO I/O AES A or AES B Digital Input (PRO I/O AES A)
NOTE: AES A can only be assigned to channel 1/2, and AES B can only be assigned to channel 3/4.
CHANNEL MODES
The analog sources can be set to different modes to match the incoming audio signals. The following camera
input modes are available: BALANCED MICROPHONE, UNBALANCED MICROPHONE. If you’re using the PRO-
I/O MODULE, these additional modes are also available: LINE IN 0 DBU and LINE IN 0 VU
BALANCED MICROPHONE
Balanced microphone input. Usually used with microphones that provide XLR connectors and have an internal
battery. If you select BALANCED, you can enable the 48V Phantom Power.
UNBALANCED MICROPHONE
Unbalanced microphone input with 3.3V bias. This type of input is usually provided by unpowered microphones
with 3.5 mm TRS plug.
LINE IN 0 DBU
Fixed input gain with limiter settings if limiter is enabled. (Only available with the PRO-I/O MODULE.)
LINE IN 0 VU
Same gain as 0 dBu but different compression/limiter settings if enabled. If no limiter is enabled, Line In 0 dBu
and Line In 0 VU behave the same. (Only available with the PRO-I/O MODULE.)
