CAMERA METADATA INTEGRATION
When you use a lens profile on the W.M.D., metadata is produced. When the W.M.D. is configured to communicate to
the camera via R.C.P., metadata is shared. The camera uses the metadata for displays and stores it in an R3D file. To
retreive the metadata, use REDline through Terminal or Command Line to run the following command:
redline --printMeta 5 -i /path/to/file.R3D
For more information about REDline, see the camera operation guides , available at www.red.com/downloads .
NOTE: To use camera metadata, you must first configure the R.C.P. communication. For more information, go to
"Configure R.C.P. Communication" above .
NOTE: If you use a lens mount that provides metadata, then the camera uses the lens mount metadata instead of the
W.M.D. metadata. To set the camera to use the W.M.D. metadata, go to Settings > Setup > Lens on the camera
menu and deselect the Enable Power to Lens check box.
