2. Camera Assembly
Connect the power cable from the Battery Plate, RED-CHARGER or AC Power Adaptor to the
DC input on the rear of the camera body.
The RED-LCD and RED--EVF viewfinder may be mounted to the camera body using a short or
extended length RED ARM. Attach the RED ARM to the camera body using the shorter threaded
screw. There are attachment points on the camera body and on the RED RAIL TOP BRACKET.
Then attach the end of the arm with the circular locking ring to the RED-LCD or RED-EVF.
Finally connect the cable from the camera body to the RED-LCD or RED-EVF. Carefully align the
red dots on the socket and plug, and push firmly to establish contact.
Attaching the RED-LCD or RED-EVF
The RED-LCD and RED-EVF cables are interchangeable; but the outputs are not. The RED-EVF
should be connected to the upper output; a RED-LCD should be connected to the lower output.
If using RED-DRIVE, place it into the RED-CRADLE and secure it with the four thumbscrews.
Then connect the RED e-SATA cable to the RED-DRIVE and to the e-SATA input on the rear of
the camera body. (In normal operation use the right angle connector to mate to the RED-DRIVE,
and the straight connector to mate to the camera)
Remove the lens cap and mount the PL lens you wish to use. The lens will have four metal tabs
with cutouts for the registration pin in the mount. If using S4/i compatible lenses the data pins
should be oriented to 12 o’clock when mounting the lens in order to establish communication.
Attach matte box and motors, and any auxiliary power cables required to power these items.
