A single camera identified as A can have individually recognizable reel numbers, such as

A001_C001_0502**.RDC,

A002_C001_0502**.RDC, and A003_C001_0502**.RDC

A single camera identified as A can have individually recognizable clip numbers, such as

A001_C001_0502**.RDC,

A002_C002_0502**.RDC, and A003_C003_0502**.RDC

Note - Even if the same Reel number and / or camera name are reused, the use of the two
character random files generated non-duplicate file names, such as

A001_C001_0502A6.RDC, A001_C001_050267.RDC, and A001_C001_0502F8.RDC

Under normal operation, the reel number increments each time the camera formats a new
piece of digital media, up to a maximum value of 999. However the reel number may be manu-
ally reset at any time to 001or other desired value.

A001_C001_0502**.RDC and then force to 1 to create A001_C001_0503**.RDC

SMPTE Timecode

As each recording is made, the RED ONE camera records two independent timecode tracks.

Edge Code is a SMPTE timecode track that always starts at 1.00.00.00 on the first frame of
each piece of digital media. It is a sequential code that is continuous from frame to frame and
also between clips. Edge Code is equivalent to RUN RECORD as used on broadcast cameras.

Time Code is a SMPTE timecode track that syncs to the camera’s clock, or if operated in Jam
Sync mode, syncs to an externally supplied SMPTE master timecode signal. It is therefore a
sequential code that is continuous from frame to frame, but discontinuous between clips.

Note: Time Code and Edge Code are only output from the 5-pin timecode connector if
OUTPUT is enabled in the TIMECODE setup menu, but are always embedded in HD-SDI.

When in Varispeed or Timelapse recording modes, the timecode counters are updated at the
same frame rate as the recording. This means valid SMPTE timecode is created without count
jumps that would affect clip playback or editing. If using an external timecode source with Jam
Sync enabled, the clip’s master time reference point is the first frame of the recorded clip.

When in Loop Record mode, the Edge Code will become discontinuous between clips, be-
cause frames copied into the cache memory are discarded. This may lead to problems with
applications that assume a continuous timecode sequence. It is therefore recommended that
Time Code be selected when operating this recording mode.
