All clips are in turn placed in a root directory (.RDM) The root directory (folder) contains all the
clips recorded on that specific piece of digital media, so copying of clips from the digital maga-
zine to backup media may be performed by a single drag and drop operation.
Record Indication
On record, the RED ONE camera provides a variety of record tallies. Timecode, normally dis-
played in white colored text, will turn red, and a small red dot will appear in the top left corner
of the video monitoring outputs. The upper LED to the right of the status display screen will
turn red, and if using an EVF, the front LED will also turn red. If media is not present, the cam-
era will provide a warning as follows – RECORD ERROR NO_DIGIMAG.
Metadata
RED ONE cameras record Metadata, which is data that describes the precise characteristics of
the picture 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 Reel Month + Day + ** where ** is a two
digit alphanumeric random 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
A001_C001_0502**.RDC
B001_C001_0502**.RDC C001_C001_0502**.RDC
