LINE LEVEL ANALOG INPUTS
The recording level of Line inputs are affected only by the signal provided by the field production sound
mixer or other external line level source. The sound mixer operator should choose a mixer output level
that aligns a reference tone signal to the 0dBu (0.775 volts RMS / -20dBFS) reference mark drawn
through the camera’s Peak Meter, or if using +4dB as reference level, a mixer output level that aligns a
reference tone signal to the +4dBu (1.23 Volts RMS / -16dBFS) reference mark.
The 0dBu setting provides up to 24dB of input signal headroom above reference level before clipping
(20dB for +4dBu reference level) and the maximum signal to noise ratio for the 24-bit digital recording.
VIDEO MONITORING OUTPUTS
In its default configuration, the RED EPIC camera can simultaneously support one VIEWFINDER output
(suitable for use by a BOMB EVF®, or RED LCD) plus one HD-SDI based PROGRAM output. Each output
can support a set of overlay graphics including camera GUI, timecode, clip name and framing guides; the
specific overlay graphics for each type of output is user configurable.
The default VIEWFINDER output is the EVF / LCD connector located on the front face of the Side SSD
Module. If neither of these is connected, VIEWFINDER output will be automatically transferred to the HD-
SDI output of the camera Brain.
