RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE

955-0020_V5.1, REV-D

LENS MOUNTS

The RED DSMC comes with a DSMC TI PL MOUNT, and may be configured with mounts and 19 mm rods to

accommodate most cinematography lenses, matte boxes, and follow focus systems. Adaptors for 15 mm offset

studio and 15 mm lightweight rods are also available.
Other lens mounts, including the DSMC CANON MOUNT, are available, permitting the use of Canon EF and

EF-S photographic lenses. The DSMC CANON MOUNT can report lens iris, focus, and zoom data when mated

to an electronically supported lens. In addition, iris and manual or auto-focus settings may be controlled from

the camera.
Lens mounts can be changed out in the field; however, it is highly recommended that this be performed in a

dust-free environment, as the optical path will be exposed to the elements during this process.

REDMOTE

The REDMOTE is a camera control unit for RED DSMCs that attaches to the rear of the DSMC BRAIN or rear-

most expansion module. The REDMOTE may also be detached from the camera or rearmost module and pro-

vide wireless remote control of the camera over proprietary REDlink

™

protocol.

Whether attached or operating via wireless, REDMOTE supports all controls necessary to operate the camera,

including Record Start/Stop, Shutter Speed, White Balance, ISO, and programmable User Keys. A color LCD

displays critical camera parameters, including media and battery capacity, timecode and clip name, lens data

and exposure information.
The REDMOTE includes a rechargeable Li-Ion battery, which automatically re-charges when attached to the

camera or rearmost module. It may also be re-charged by connecting to a USB 2.0 based power source such

as a laptop or cell phone charger. Under typical operating conditions, the REDMOTE should operate for up to

8 hours without requiring a re-charge and support a wireless communication range of approximately 50 ft.

SMPTE TIMECODE

Time Code (TC) is a SMPTE timecode track that synchronizes to the camera’s high precision internal clock,

or if operated in Jam Sync mode, referencing an externally supplied SMPTE master timecode signal. TC is a

sequential code that is continuous from frame to frame, but is discontinuous from clip to clip.
Edge Code (EC) is a SMPTE timecode track that always starts at 1.00.00.00 on the first frame recorded to the

digital media. It is a sequential code that is continuous from frame to frame and also continuous from clip to

clip. EC is equivalent to RUN RECORD, which is commonly found on broadcast cameras.
Irrespective of the timecode mode selected, once recording starts the camera’s timecode counter will update at

the same instantaneous frame rate as the recording. This ensures that a valid SMPTE timecode value is created

for every frame in the clip, eliminating any timecode count jumps that could affect playback or editing.
If operating in Jam Sync mode referenced to an external timecode source, the clip’s master time reference point

is the first frame of the recorded clip.
