SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Heed all cautions and warnings in these instructions. Read these instructions before operating the lens mount. Follow these instructions while operating the lens mount. Keep these instructions with the lens mount at all times. DO NOT attempt to modify, dismantle or open your lens mount
as doing so may expose you to electric shock and serious injury. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Alteration or repairs made to the lens mount, except by a RED authorized service facility, will void the Limited Warranty. Users are not permitted to make design changes or otherwise modify the operation of the lens mount without the express written approval of RED.
Install lens mount in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
DO NOT use the lens mount near water. Avoid exposing your
lens mount to moisture. The unit is not waterproof, so contact with water could cause permanent damage to the unit as well as electric shock and serious injury to the user. DO NOT use the lens mount in the rain or under other conditions with high moisture without appropriate protection, and immediately remove power source if the lens mount is exposed to moisture while attached to the camera.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the lens mount to rain or moisture.
DO NOT expose your lens mount to excessive vibration or
impact (shock). Be careful not to drop your lens mount. Internal mechanisms may be damaged by severe shock. Mechanical alignment of optical elements may be affected by excessive vibration.
When cleaning your lens mount, remember that it is not
waterproof and moisture can damage electronic circuitry. DO NOT rinse or immerse any element of the lens mount, keep it dry at all times. DO NOT use soaps, detergents, ammonia, alkaline cleaners, and abrasive cleaning compounds or solvents. These substances may damage the glass coating and electronic circuitry. DO NOT use compressed air.
DO NOT operate or store near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or any other apparatus that produces heat. Store in a protected, level and ventilated place. Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, damp, severe vibration, strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight or local heat sources during storage. Recommended storage and usage temperatures for your lens mount are:
‒ Operating range: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) ‒ Storage range: –40°C to 80°C (–40°F to 176°F)
If there are any performance issues with your lens mount when operating within this temperature range, please file a support ticket at https://support.red.com/home.
CAUTION: Refer all service and repair to qualified RED service personnel. To reduce the risk of electric shock, and damage to the lens mount, DO NOT attempt to perform any servicing other than procedures that are recommended in the operating instructions.

RED MOTION MOUNT OPERATION GUIDE
MOTION MOUNT
01
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
www.red.com/learn/red-101/cinema-temporal-aliasing.

SQUARE SHUTTER

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/
learn/red-101/global-rolling-shutter.

For more information on maintenance, go to “MOTION MOUNT Maintenance” on page 24. WARNING: Lens mounts are NOT HOT SWAPPABLE, meaning you cannot install or remove a lens mount while
the camera is powered on. Before installing or removing the lens mount you MUST power off the camera. Failure to do so may result in damage to the lens mount or DSMC that will not be covered under warranty.
WARNING: Any damage to your camera, lens mount, or other equipment caused by the incorrect removal or installation of lens mounts is NOT covered under any RED warranty.
NOTE: DO NOT allow dirt or debris to enter the camera opening during the installation or removal of a lens mount. Take great care not to drop any screws into the camera opening, as damage may occur to the OLPF.
NOTE: Always avoid physical contact with the MOTION MOUNT glass during installation or removal.
INSTALLATION

LENS MOUNT ALIGNMENT

MOTION MOUNT Ti PL (left), MOTION MOUNT Ti Canon (right)
When installing the MOTION MOUNT, ensure that the lens mount is properly aligned. The forward-facing con­tact pins differ between the two (2) mounts.

RED MOTION MOUNT OPERATION GUIDE

REMOVE A LENS MOUNT

REQUIRED TOOL: T20 Torx® driver
1. Turn off the DSMC.
2. Attach the DSMC to a stable platform or position the DSMC on a clean and level work surface so that the
lens mount screws are accessible.
3. Remove the lens, as well as any DSMC modules, cables, or other accessories that might interfere with
removing the lens mount.
4. Loosen and remove the four (4) M4x0.7 x 8 mm lens mount screws in a cross pattern (“X” pattern) using a
T20 Torx driver. NOTE: Screw removal may require a large handle T20 Torx driver and additional leverage.
Remove the lens mount screws
5. Remove the lens mount from the DSMC.
Remove the lens mount
NOTE: When the MOTION MOUNT is not in use the rear glass is blue. During operation the rear glass turns yel­low. If you remove the MOTION MOUNT shortly after operation, the glass will be yellow and develop blue spots. As the glass cools, it will return to its original blue color. This color transition is typical behavior.

INSTALL THE MOTION MOUNT

REQUIRED TOOL: T20 Torx® driver
Turn off the DSMC and remove any accessories or cables that may interfere with installation before proceeding.
1. Inspect the gold electrical contact pins on the front of the DSMC and the gold contact pads on the rear of
the MOTION MOUNT. Ensure that they are free of any contamination.
2. Align the MOTION MOUNT on the front of the DSMC BRAIN. The DSMC connection pins must align with
the MOTION MOUNT pins.
Align MOTION MOUNT pins
3. Replace and loosely tighten the four (4) M4x0.7 x 8 mm lens mount screws in a cross pattern (“X” pattern).
WARNING: DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN.
Install Screws
4. Tighten the four (4) lens mount screws evenly using a T20 Torx driver in a cross pattern (“X” pattern). DO
NOT exceed 350 in-oz, or damage may occur. WARNING: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
5. After installation, a hardware rediscover or firmware upgrade may be required. If the MOTION MOUNT is
not recognized, you will be unable to access the MOTION MOUNT menu at Menu > Settings > Setup > Lens. To perform a hardware rediscover, go to Menu > Settings > Maintenance > Rediscover. A system reboot is
required after a hardware rediscover.
