The RED MOTION MOUNT® is a revolutionary and adjustable lens mount system for your DSMC. The
MOTION MOUNT integrates a global shutter, temporal anti-aliasing soft shutter, and variable neutral density
(ND) system. This enables on-the-fly shutter adjustments to reduce motion blur and temporal aliasing. The ND
filter also includes a linear polarizer and IR filter for improved image color and contrast.
NOTE: HDRx® is not available while the MOTION MOUNT is installed.
VARIABLE ND FILTER
The electronic variable ND filter provides adjustable optical density for the DSMC. The amount of optical density
varies based on the active shutter type. Adjust the ND value using a touchscreen or user keys, without having
to change physical filters.
Soft/Square Shutter: Range is 0.48 to 1.20 (1.60 to 4.00 stops) ND Only: Range is 0.48 to 2.40 (1.60 to 8.00 stops)
NOTE: While the MOTION MOUNT is installed, the adjustable electronic ND filter provides a minimum light loss
of 1.60 stops (0.48 optical density).
INTRODUCTION
IR FILTER AND LINEAR POLARIZATION
The MOTION MOUNT incorporates an IR-cut filter and new color science, providing accurate and natural
color over a wide range of color temperatures. The IR-cut filter ensures rich, deep shadows in your shots and
minimizes IR contamination at high ND levels, without the need for a separate hot mirror.
The built-in linear polarizer improves image quality by increasing contrast and reducing unwanted glare from
light that passes through the MOTION MOUNT to the image sensor.
SOFT SHUTTER
The MOTION MOUNT Soft shutter performs temporal anti-aliasing in your footage, eliminating sampling rate
issues caused by temporal aliasing. This is commonly referred to as the “wagon-wheel effect.” Effectively,
the MOTION MOUNT improves your images and footage by ensuring smooth and natural motion. As its name
implies, the Soft shutter “softens” the edges of blur, resulting in crisp, smooth motion and pans.
For more information about temporal anti-aliasing, see the Temporal Aliasing with Cinema article available at
The MOTION MOUNT Square shutter, also referred to as “global shutter,” eliminates rolling shutter artifacts,
such as partial illumination caused by strobes and flashing light. The global shutter ensures uniform exposure
throughout your image, regardless of strobes or motion.
For more information about global shutters, see the Global & Rolling Shutters article available at www.red.com/

The RED MOTION MOUNT® delivers variable ND and shutter options based on the selected shutter type. The
following shutter types are available in Menu > Settings > Lens > MOTION MOUNT.
ND Only: Disables Soft and Square shutters. The MOTION MOUNT functions only as an ND filter. For more
information, go to “Neutral Density (ND)” on page 12.
Soft: Enables the Soft shutter, softening blur and reduction of temporal aliasing. The MOTION MOUNT
continues to function as an ND filter. For more information, go to “Soft Shutter” on page 19.
Square: Enables the Square shutter, ensuring consistent exposure and smooth motion. The MOTION MOUNT
continues to function as an ND filter. For more information, go to “Square Shutter” on page 21.
The maximum shutter angle is restricted on the “ND Only” shutter type when ND is below 0.60 (2 stops). If the
desired shutter angle is not available with the selected frame rate, increase the ND value to 0.60 (2 stops) or
more and try again.
NOTE: The ND setting cannot be changed while recording.
NOTE: These instructions are specific to DSMC firmware version v5.2.28.
OPERATION
ACCESS THE MOTION MOUNT MENU
To adjust MOTION MOUNT settings, follow the instructions below.
NOTE: These menu settings are only accessible when a DSMC MOTION MOUNT is installed.
1. Turn on the DSMC.
2. Navigate to Menu > Settings > Setup > Lens > MOTION MOUNT.
The MOTION MOUNT provides a variable ND filter that incorporates an IR filter and polarizer. You can adjust
the ND setting using the on-screen display, or by mapping the following functions to the desired DSMC keys:
Variable ND functionality is always enabled when the MOTION MOUNT is installed.
For more information on key mapping, go to “Map Keys for MOTION MOUNT Settings” on page 23.
SELECT NEUTRAL DENSITY (ND) SETTINGS
1. Select an ND value using the ND Value slider.
Alternatively, select the settings box and enter a desired value.
‒Fraction: Displays the neutral density value as a fraction of light transmission. ‒Density: Displays the neutral density value as an optical density value.‒Stop: Displays the neutral density value as a stop loss.
2. Select the desired ND Increment Size.
If you select Custom, enter the new increment size in the field next to the ND Increment Size drop-down
menu. You can select any increment in the range 0.01 to 4.00 stops.
NOTE: When an ND value over 4.00 stops is selected while in “ND Only,” the ND value on the main screen
overlay turns yellow. The following message also displays in the MOTION MOUNT menu screen: “High ND
with wide apertures may cause bokeh asymmetry”.
For more information on bokeh asymmetry, go to “Out-of-Focus Field Modification” on page 14.
The table below provides the available fraction values, optical density values, and stop losses. The values
provided are in increments of 1/2 and 1/3 stops.
The available ND range is based on the currently selected shutter type.
ND Only: The available optical density range for “ND Only” is 0.48 to 2.40 (1.60 to 8.00 stops). Soft: The available optical density range for “Soft” is 0.48 to 1.20 (1.60 to 4.00 stops). Square: The available optical density range for “Square” is 0.48 to 1.20 (1.60 to 4.00 stops).
Use of “ND Only” with a high ND value and wide aperture may cause undesired results, including distortion or
flaring in the out-of-focus field. In some instances, vignetting may also occur at the edge of the image. This is
typical when using lenses with smaller image circles. It is recommend that you do not exceed 4.00 stops of ND
when shooting with wide apertures.
NOTE: For instance, if the MOTION MOUNT is set to 8.00 stops of ND, and the lens is set to T1.8, instead of
the normal circular bokeh pattern, the out-of-focus area may have undesired or intense flare.
AVOID FLARE AND DISTORTION
Use the following tips to avoid or dramatically reduce flare and distortion.
Increase T-Stop to T4.0 or greater: Increase the T-Stop to T4.0 or greater to dramatically reduce bokeh
distortion.
Reduce ND setting: Reduce the ND setting to five (5) stops or less to produce a more symmetrical bokeh. Install a traditional ND filter: Use a traditional ND filter if a shot requires a wide aperture (to limit depth-of-
field) and also requires eight (8) stops of ND. Adjust the MOTION MOUNT to four (4) stops of ND and install
an ND filter. This removes bokeh distortion and flare, and also enables the use of the Soft and Square
shutter types.
NOTE: Effects of flare and distortion will be negligible at apertures greater than T4.0. Flare and distortion may
vary based on the lens. RED recommends testing each lens in conjunction with the MOTION MOUNT before an
important shoot.
NOTE: Selecting an ND value over 4.00 stops in “ND Only” results in the ND value on the main screen overlay
turning yellow. The following message displays on the MOTION MOUNT menu: “High ND with wide apertures
may cause bokeh asymmetry”.
When using any ND filter, including the MOTION MOUNT, the effective ISO is reduced because the ND filter
reduces light transmission to the sensor. To display the effective ISO (on the main screen) and native camera
sensor ISO (in the FLUT® screen), follow the instructions below:
1. Navigate to Menu > Settings > Display > Modes > Lens.
2. Select the desired MOTION MOUNT ISO Pull setting:
‒On: Display the effective ISO.‒Off: Display actual ISO.
You can configure how the ND settings display in the DSMC graphical user interface (GUI).
1. Navigate to Menu > Settings > Display > Modes > Lens.
2. Select the desired MOTION MOUNT ND display setting:
‒Fraction: Displays the neutral density value as a fraction of light transmission. ‒Density: Displays the neutral density value as an optical density value.‒Stop: Displays the neutral density value as a stop loss.
3. Select Close to exit.
The ND value displays in the top left corner of the Live Action Area on the DSMC GUI.
NOTE: Using a high ND with wide apertures may cause asymmetrical bokeh. If you select an ND value over
4.00 stops with “ND Only” selected, the ND value on the main screen overlay turns yellow. A warning
message also displays in the MOTION MOUNT menu on the DSMC. For more information about bokeh
asymmetry, go to “Out-of-Focus Field Modification” on page 14.
Based on the selected shutter type, the MOTION MOUNT overrides control of all shutter operations. The

The MOTION MOUNT Soft shutter is a breakthrough for cinematography, using a liquid crystal shutter to solve
CMOS rolling and global shutter problems. Different from a standard global shutter, the Soft shutter causes the
liquid crystal to rapidly ramp from opaque to clear in a rounded wave. This exposes the sensor to light, taking
many discrete captures of the scene. This technique eliminates the effects of temporal aliasing and reduces
rolling shutter artifacts.
Temporal Aliasing Advantages:
Shows correct direction of rotation of cyclical motion, such as rotating propellers. Softens blur while preserving clarity. Reduces judder while panning. Renders movement accurately and naturally. Reduces flickering without requiring continuous or synchronized lighting.
Rolling Shutter Advantages:
Reduces striping or tearing artifacts from uncontrolled strobes and flashes. Reduces skew, also known as the “jello” effect, so that fast-moving subjects are not angled or sheared. Ensures that images are not blurred or wobbled due to rapid camera movements.
SOFT SHUTTER FRAME RATES
You can use the MOTION MOUNT shutter at frame rates up to 109.98 FPS, but the Soft shutter is most effective
at reducing temporal aliasing artifacts and rolling shutter artifacts at lower frame rates.
SOFT SHUTTER ANGLE
The Soft shutter angle ranges from 62.1° to 194.4°. The available shutter angle range at any given time
depends on the selected frame rate.
For the most natural and realistic motion, use a Soft shutter angle of 194.4°. Then, adjust the shutter angle if
necessary.
The MOTION MOUNT Square shutter is a global shutter that provides consistent, full illumination for every
frame. The MOTION MOUNT fundamentally changes the way your camera exposes for motion, reducing skew
and smear artifacts.
The MOTION MOUNT Square shutter assists in the following ways:
Reduces striping or tearing artifacts from uncontrolled strobes and flashes. Reduces skew, also known as the “jello” effect, so that fast-moving subjects are not angled or sheared. Ensures images are not blurred or wobbled due to rapid camera movements.
SQUARE SHUTTER FRAME RATES
The Square shutter operates at frame rates up to 109.98 FPS; however, the Square shutter is most effective at
reducing rolling shutter artifacts at lower frame rates.
SQUARE SHUTTER ANGLE
The Square shutter angle ranges from 62.1° to 180°. The available shutter angle range at any given time
depends on the selected frame rate.
For the most natural and realistic motion in Square shutter mode, start at a shutter angle of 180°. Adjust the
shutter angle from there as needed.

CLEAN MOTION MOUNT GLASS
As with all optical glass, any type of physical contact with the glass may scratch or damage the surface. RED
recommends that you clean the MOTION MOUNT glass using physical contact only if absolutely necessary.
Before cleaning the MOTION MOUNT glass with swabs or wipes and a cleaning solution, ALWAYS use an air
bulb to remove any solid particles. Cleaning the MOTION MOUNT glass without removing solid particles increases the risk of scratching the optical surface.
WARNING: Handle the MOTION MOUNT glass carefully. Failure to follow proper cleaning instructions may scratch
or damage the optical surface.
MAINTENANCE
GENERAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid using the MOTION MOUNT in dusty or hazardous environments. Avoid physical contact with the glass. DO NOT rinse the MOTION MOUNT or immerse it in water. DO NOT use compressed air to clean the MOTION MOUNT. DO NOT use soaps, detergents, ammonia, alkaline cleaners, or abrasive cleaning compounds to clean the
MOTION MOUNT.
DO NOT apply cleaning solution directly to the MOTION MOUNT glass. DO NOT use an excess of cleaning solution. DO NOT reuse swabs or wipes.
AIR BULBS
Use a rubber air bulb to remove any solid particles, such as dirt or dust. Use an ionized air bulb to remove solid
particles as well as static build-up.
WARNING: DO NOT use compressed air to clean the MOTION MOUNT. The high pressure may damage the glass,
and some compressed air can leave an oily residue, which may be difficult to clean.
Before cleaning the optical surface with swabs or wipes, ALWAYS use an air bulb to remove any solid particles.
Cleaning an optical surface without removing solid particles greatly increases the risk of scratching the surface.
If you MUST clean the optical glass, use lens-grade wipes or flexible uniform swabs and a high-quality sensor
or lens cleaning solution.
Follow the instructions below:
1. Apply a few drops of cleaning solution directly to the swab or wipe.
2. Gently sweep the swab or wipe across the length of the glass in a uniform motion.
‒When using a swab: Ensure that the swab provides full coverage of the glass. Gently sweep the swab
across the length of the glass. DO NOT place the corners of the swab on the glass.
‒When using a wipe: Gently sweep the wipe across the length of the glass with a flat, non-rigid flexible
instrument in a uniform motion. DO NOT sweep the wipe across the glass with your finger.
WARNING: DO NOT reuse swabs or wipes, since they may have gathered dirt or debris from the glass.

1. DSMC firmware versions prior to v5.2.14 DO NOT limit maximum frame rate. RED recommends using a maximum frame rate of 109.98
with a MOTION MOUNT. Selecting frame rates higher than 109.98 FPS, may result in double exposures.
2. Values are based on DSMC firmware v5.2.28. Values outside of provided ranges are allowed in firmware versions earlier than v5.2.14.
Frame rate settings outside of the supported range may result in a double exposures.

MAXIMUM FRAME RATES
When the Soft or Square shutters are enabled, the maximum frame rate (FPS) is limited to ensure that the
DSMC and MOTION MOUNT capture the highest quality image without exposure issues.
The RED MOTION MOUNT® Ti PL and MOTION MOUNT Ti Canon enable you to mount most PL cinema lenses
and Canon EF-compatible lenses to your DSMC® BRAIN®.
WARNING: Using lenses, adaptors, or other accessories that are not compatible with the MOTION MOUNT may
damage the internal glass or other elements in the lens mount.
WARNING: Lenses, adaptors, and other PL-mount devices with mounting elements that protrude more than
27.73 mm behind the PL mounting flange are not compatible with the MOTION MOUNT.
NOTE: Any damage to the MOTION MOUNT Ti PL or the DSMC system caused by using incompatible lenses
(including non-standard PL lenses) or devices is not covered under warranty.
COMPATIBILITY
COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Some lenses are NOT compatible with the MOTION MOUNT due to the liquid crystal glass and shape of the
baffle inside the mount.
Refer to the following diagram to determine if the maximum protrusion depth and maximum protrusion diameter
of a particular lens is compatible with the MOTION MOUNT. If any of the protruding lens elements extend
beyond these dimensions, the lens IS NOT COMPATIBLE.
DO NOT use lenses that have mounting elements that exceed the following values:
WARNING: Use of a lens that extends beyond these dimensions may damage the MOTION MOUNT.
