RED DSMC MEDIA OPERATION GUIDE
955-0047, REV-F | 57
The tables in this appendix describe the maximum available REDCODE compression ratio for each format and
frame rate combination.
Except where noted, the REDCODE values in this appendix are based on DSMC firmware v5.1.51.
The number in each body cell refers to the number to the left of the colon in the REDCODE compression ratio
(the “x” of “x:1”). For example: With a RED EPIC DRAGON and a RED MINI-MAG, when your project format is
5K and your capture frame rate is 24 FPS, the maximum available REDCODE compression ratio is 3:1.
NOTE:
The REDCODE values in this appendix do not apply when Sensor Sync Mode (Menu > Settings > Setup
> GPIO/Sync) is set to MoCo. When using MoCo, you must set the frame rate to be at least two times (2x) the
fastest trigger rate used. A high frame rate usually increases the compression, but when you’re using MoCo,
REDCODE is calculated based on FPS/2. Therefore, if you are in MoCo mode, and you set the frame rate to
100.83 FPS, the maximum REDCODE is calculated based on a frame rate of 50.415 FPS.

This table omits rows for the anamorphic formats, since the maximum REDCODE and frame rate pairing for
each anamorphic format and the corresponding non-anamorphic format is the same.
NOTE:
The values in this table are specific to DSMC firmware v5.2.21.
