Your REDMOTE also requires a firmware upgrade. For more information on upgrading your REDMOTE, go to
“Upgrade REDMOTE Firmware” on page 140

UPGRADE DSMC FIRMWARE
Install the most recent firmware. Unless otherwise specified in the online release notes, you do not need to
upgrade to any firmware in between your current version and the most recent version available online.
NOTE:
You must black shade an EPIC DRAGON or SCARLET DRAGON after upgrading it.
NOTE:
Upgrading your camera deletes all in-camera user-generated Preset, Look, and Custom Overlay files.
1. If you have user-generated preset files on your camera, follow the instructions below to save the files to an
SSD:
A. Turn on the camera, insert an SSD (RED MINI-MAG or RED STATION REDMAG 1.8") into the camera,
and format the SSD.
B. Go to
Menu
>
Presets
and copy user-generated Camera Preset and Look files to the SSD.
C. Go to
Menu
>
Settings
>
Display
>
Monitor Control
and copy user-generated Overlay files to the SSD.
D. Turn off the camera, and remove the SSD. You will copy the files back to your camera after the upgrade
procedure, as described in
.
2. Connect an SSD (RED MINI-MAG or RED STATION REDMAG 1.8") to your computer.
NOTE:
On Mac computers with REDCINE-X PRO installed, RED Watchdog mounts the SSD as Read-Only
by default, which means that you are unable to write files (including firmware upgrade files) to the SSD.
Change the
Mount
preference to
Read-Write
before attempting to copy firmware to the SSD.
3. Download the most recent firmware for your DSMC from
:
‒

4. Unzip the firmware zip file.
5. Copy the
force_upgrade
folder and its contents to the top level of the SSD directory.
6. Eject or unmount the SSD, and then remove the SSD.
