This chapter explains how to troubleshoot your REDRAY® Player. If you continue to experience issues after
troubleshooting, please file a support ticket at support.red.com.
TROUBLE WITH REDRAY SETUP
SYMPTOM
Having trouble with audio or video from your REDRAY Player.
POTENTIAL RESOLUTION
Ensure that you are using only HDMI 1.4 cables (also known as HDMI High Speed cables) to connect your
monitor(s) and audio receiver to the REDRAY.
THE REDRAY
TROUBLE WITH 4K IMAGE
SYMPTOM
The monitor is not displaying the 4K image properly, or only displaying one quadrant of the 4K image.
POTENTIAL RESOLUTIONS
Ensure that you’re display is 4K or UHD capable. Ensure that you are using the appropriate cabling con-
figuration to set up your 4K/UHD display. If you are setting up a display that uses four (4) individual 1080p
resolution panels to display the 4K media, ensure that you have properly cabled the REDRAY Player.
If using a 1080p monitor, ensure the HDMI 1.4 cable is plugged into the HDTV OUT port on the REDRAY.
NOTE: Refer to “Set Up Your REDRAY” on page 10, or the REDRAY QUICK-START GUIDE included in your
REDRAY shipment.
TROUBLE WITH LOOPBACK AND COMPRESSED AUDIO
SYMPTOM
The REDRAY freezes or begins functioning improperly while the Loopback setting is enabled.
POTENTIAL RESOLUTIONS
If the REDRAY freezes, cycle the power off and back on using the AC power switch on the rear panel. If the
problem persists, please file a support ticket at support.red.com.
Content that has been encoded with compressed audio may cause the REDRAY to freeze when the Loop-
back setting is enabled. If the problem persists, ensure that your .RED file is encoded with uncompressed
audio if you wish to play the content on loop.
The REDRAY Player does not recognize a USB 2.0 flash drive or SDHC card.
POTENTIAL RESOLUTION
Verify that the USB 2.0 flash drive or SDHC card is formatted as MS-DOS FAT (for Mac) or FAT32 (for Windows).
CANNOT UPLOAD MOVIES
SYMPTOM
A USB 2.0 flash drive or SDHC card is connected to the REDRAY, but it will not upload movies.
POTENTIAL RESOLUTION
If the REDRAY does not upload the movies that are on your USB flash drive or SDHC card, ensure that all of
your movies are in a folder called “Content”.
CANNOT ACCESS RED ACCOUNT
SYMPTOM
Cannot access your RED account, register your REDRAY, or install the RRencode Plugin.
POTENTIAL RESOLUTION
Contact your Bomb Squad representative to verify your information and retrieve your RED account information.
CANNOT CONNECT REDCOMMAND TO THE REDRAY
SYMPTOM
The REDcommand app does not connect or communicate with the REDRAY.
POTENTIAL RESOLUTION
Verify your IP address and network settings. If the problem persists reset your router and try again.
CANNOT PLAY MOVIE
SYMPTOM
Attempting to play the movie results as a full frame of yellow.
EXPLANATION
If you attempt to play a video encoded with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), the output
video displays as a full frame of yellow. The REDRAY on-screen menus and test-patterns will continue to display
correctly, as those elements are not HDCP protected.
POTENTIAL RESOLUTION
If the video output is yellow, try encoding the video with HDCP disabled.
If you need to contact a Bomb Squad representative or support representative about issues with your REDRAY®, you may be asked to send in or attach a log file to a support ticket. To access the log file on the REDRAY Player, follow the instructions below:
1. Navigate to the SETTINGS > SYSTEM INFORMATION menu.

You can create customized panels in REDCINE-X PRO that contain commonly used settings. RED recommends
that you create a custom “REDRAY” panel that contains all of the settings that you’ll need to access in order
to prepare your content for encoding.
After you create a custom panel, the panel becomes part of the REDCINE-X PRO window and is available each
time you open the REDCINE-X PRO application. You can also save custom panels for future use, or delete them
altogether.
To create a custom REDRAY tab in REDCINE-X PRO, follow the instructions below:
1. Open REDCINE-X PRO.
2. Right-click the Gear icon in the top right corner of the REDCINE-X PRO application.
3. Select Add Tab....

A blank panel is added to REDCINE-X PRO.
NOTE: REDCINE-X PRO only displays four (4) panels at a time. If you don’t see the new blank panel, click the
Left Arrow icon to expand the panel, then click and drag the new tab to one (1) of the first four (4) positions.
Use the checklist below as a guideline for encoding your content in REDCINE-X PRO. REDCINE-X PRO and
the RRencode Plugin provide many features and offer multiple ways to perform tasks to fit different workflows.
RED recommends that you explore and experiment with REDCINE-X PRO and RRencode to determine the most
appropriate workflow for your projects.
One factor that determines how to encode your content in REDCINE-X PRO is whether you are encoding a
single clip or if you are creating a single encoded clip from multiple video clips:
Encode a single clip: If you want to encode one video clip, ensure that the file and its corresponding audio
file (if applicable) are in the Bin panel when you’re ready to encode. When you encode (export) the clip,
make sure that you select Bin (Selected Clips) or Bin (All Clips).
Create a single encoded clip from multiple video clips: If you have multiple video clips that you want to connect
together and encode into a single clip, place these files and their corresponding audio files (if applicable) in
the Timeline panel when you’re ready to encode. When you encode (export) the clips, make sure that you
select Timeline (All Clips).

This section provides information on how to prepare your 4K clips and corresponding audio files in REDCINE-X
PRO before you encode (export) your content.
The RRencode Plugin ONLY accepts the following file formats:
.R3D .TIFF .DPX
ADD CLIPS TO THE BIN PANEL
This section describes how to add the video clips to the Bin panel in REDCINE-X PRO.
1. In the Devices panel, select the device and folder that has the clip that you want to encode.
2. Select the clip that you want to encode.
The selected clip shows as thumbnail image in the Browser + Project panel.
If you are encoding a single clip from the Bin panel, the name of the clip that is displayed in REDCINE-X PRO
will be the name of the movie that is displayed in the REDRAY on-screen display.
NOTE: If you are going to add multiple clips to the Timeline and encode those clips into a single clip, skip this
procedure; you will have the option to select a new name when you encode your clips.
If you want to rename the clip so that a different name displays in the REDRAY on-screen display, follow the
instructions below:
1. Right-click the clip in the Bin panel.
2. Select Rename.
Select Clips
3. Enter the new name.
4. Click Accept.
RED recommends a maximum name length of 24 characters, since this is the maximum displayable name
length in the REDRAY on-screen display.
In REDCINE-X PRO, you can select the color space, gamut, and frame rate for the source file. RRencode uses
the source color space, gamma, and frame rate settings to map the source video properly into the .RED file
format.
If the color space and gamma values are set incorrectly, the displayed video colors will also be incorrect. If the
frame rate of the source file is different than the frame rate of the export frame rate setting, the video may not
be properly synced to the audio, unless the length of the source audio WAV file has been appropriately adjusted
in order to compensate.
To change the source file color space, gamut, and frame rate, follow the instructions below:
1. Right-click the desired clip in the Bin.
2. Select Still Sequence Editor.
3. Select the desired Gamma option from the drop-down menu.
Available Gamma options include: REC 709, 2.2, 2.6, or LINEAR. The default is REC 709.
4. Select the desired Color Space option from the drop-down menu.
Available Color Space options include: REC 709, P3, XYZ, or sRGB. The default is REC 709.
5. Select the desired Frame Rate option from the drop-down menu.
The default Frame Rate is 23.98 (23.976).
Still Sequence Editor
6. Click Accept.
NOTE: While selecting color space and gamma values, remember to keep the following in mind:
‒Content graded for HDTV or UHDTV typically uses REC 709 color gamut and gamma.‒Content graded for digital cinema release typically uses P3 or XYZ color gamut and 2.6 gamma.‒Content originating from computer graphics applications may use either of the above combinations or
You can attach one (1) audio file to each video clip in the Bin. If you’re encoding an .R3D file (which has embedded audio) or a video that does not have a corresponding audio file, skip this procedure.
NOTE: Attach only 48 kHz WAV audio files to the video. The encoding will terminate automatically if you attempt
to use an audio file with another sample rate or format.
1. Right-click the clip in the Bin that you wish to add audio to.
2. Hover over Audio and select Attach Audio...
Select Audio
3. Search for the WAV files that you wish to attach and click Open.
This section explains how to sync audio and video, as well as trim clips in REDCINE-X PRO. If you’re encoding
an .R3D file (which has embedded audio) or a video that does not have a corresponding audio file, skip this
procedure.
When syncing and trimming content, you can choose a frame from the video or a sound in the audio as a reference point. For example, you can find a frame in the video, set that as your reference point, and then find the
corresponding sound in the audio. Alternatively, you can choose a specific sound in the audio as your reference
point, and then find the corresponding frame from the video. The instructions in the section below explain how
to sync based on a frame in the video.
For more information about syncing audio in REDCINE-X PRO, check out the REDCINE-X PRO: AUDIO SYNC
video tutorial available at www.red.com/learn/workflow/audiosync.
SYNCHRONIZE AUDIO AND VIDEO
This section explains how to sync your audio track to a specific frame in the video clip.
1. Drag the video clip from the Bin panel to the Viewer.
2. Expand the REDRAY panel and view the Audio and Playback Channels panels to verify that the external au-
dio is attached.
NOTE: The Audio and Playback Channels panels are part of the REDRAY tab. For more information on creat-
ing and setting up a custom REDRAY panel, go to “Create a REDRAY Panel” on page 37.
3. Expand the Audio panel at the bottom of the REDCINE-X PRO application to view the audio waveform.
Expand Audio Panel
4. Click Play to find the video clip and find one (1) frame that should align with a specific sound, such as the
2-pop, the slate marker, or a syllable in the dialogue.
5. Click Play to review the clip for the desired sync frame.
Alternatively, scrub through the video by selecting the timeline marker.
6. Click Pause to stop the video at the desired frame you wish to sync with.
This section provides tips and additional information for performing actions to sync audio and video.
SELECT FRAMES
By default, the audio waveform displays for the corresponding +/- 12 frames of the video clip. If you want
to see more or less of the audio waveform, select a different value from the Frames drop-down menu in the
bottom right corner of the REDCINE-X PRO application.
If you need to sync a frame of the clip that is not near the beginning, fast-forward to approximately 50
frames before that frame, click Set In Point, then fast-forward about 100 frames and click Set Out Point. Now
let those frames buffer. After syncing the clip, clear the sync points by re-clicking the Set Out Point and Set
In Point buttons.
SYNC AUDIO
If you would rather sync a clip to a point in the audio, first find a specific sound in the audio, click Set Audio
Slate Point To Scrubber Position, find and select the corresponding frame in the video, and click Set Video
Slate Point.
If you’re having trouble locating a specific sound in the audio by viewing the waveform, open the audio file
separately in the Bin panel and then drag it into the Viewer. Play the audio file and locate the sound to which
you want to sync the video. Make a note of the Clip Frame value at that point. Drag the video back into the
Viewer and type the Clip Frame value into the Scrubber field. You can either sync the video and audio to that
point, or you can use that point to further refine your sync point.
CLEAR SYNC POINTS
If you’ve set a video or audio sync point and then decide to resync a clip, make sure that you clear the
original sync points first. To clear the video sync point, select the first frame of the video clip and click Set
Video Slate Point. To clear the audio sync point, simply click Set Audio Slate Point To Scrubber Position.
VERIFY SYNC
To verify that your clip is correctly synced, check that the audio and video are synced correctly at one point
near the beginning and one point near the end of the clip.
Verify that the audio run time matches the run time of your video clip. If the two (2) run times are not identi-
cal, trim either your audio or video so that both have the same run time. Or, use a third-party application to
extend the run time of your audio file so that it matches the run time of your video. It is NOT recommended
that you drop frames from the video in an attempt to shorten your video run time.
Verify that the frame rate of your source video file matches the frame rate selected in the Still Sequence
Editor window for that clip. For more information on configuring the Still Sequence Editor settings, go to
“Configure Still Sequence Editor Settings” on page 44.
Ensure that you have the original metadata for the video and audio clip, including the frame rate of your
1. Click the Framing Control panel within the REDRAY panel.
NOTE: The Framing Control Panel is part of the REDRAY panel. For more information on creating a custom
REDRAY panel, go to “Create a REDRAY Panel” on page 37.
2. Since .RED files are encoded at a resolution of 4096 x 2160p, select the proper Fit setting from the drop-
down menu to map your source content:
‒Fit Height: Select if your source content has an aspect ratio of 16:9. This creates an active image area
of 3840 x 2160p, with additional black bars on either side.
‒Fit Width: Select if your source content has an aspect ratio of 2.39:1. This creates an active image area
of 4096 x 1714p, with additional black bars above and below.
Framing Control
NOTE: You can also select Stretch W/H and use the Crop settings to map other aspect ratio images or isolate specific areas of the source image into the 4096 x 2160p encoded master. However, RED recommends
that you experiment on short clips first to understand the specific effect of each setting before attempting
these on full-length features.
If you are going to add multiple clips to the Timeline and encode those clips into a single clip, you only need to
set a poster frame for the first clip in the sequence.
1. Select the frame you want to use as the poster frame.
Find Frame
2. Click the Markers panel on the right side of the REDCINE-X PRO application.
NOTE: The Markers panel is part of the REDRAY panel. For more information on creating a custom REDRAY
panel, go to “Create a REDRAY Panel” on page 37.
3. Click the Marker Control panel.
4. Click Set or type the frame number for the poster frame field.
This section provides information on how to add video clips and their corresponding audio tracks (if applicable)
to the Timeline in REDCINE-X PRO.
NOTE: The Timeline panel should only be used to create a single encoded clip from multiple video clips.
1. Click the Timeline panel at the bottom of the REDCINE-X PRO application.
2. Click the first clip of your sequence in the Bin panel and drag the clip to the row labeled V1. Ensure that
the clip snaps to the 00:00:00:00 position.
NOTE: Leaving a gap between the 00:00:00:00 position and the start of the first clip will result in a black
screen in the encoded video for the length of that gap.
Add Clip to TIMELINE
When you add a clip that has an external audio file to the Timeline, each audio track in the audio file displays as a separate row in the Timeline panel.
3. In the Timeline panel, click the the channel configuration (from the drop-down menu next to the sequence
name) that matches the number of channels that your audio files have:
‒Stereo‒5.1 Channel‒7.1 Channel
NOTE: The RRencode Plugin encodes up to eight (8) channels of audio for each video clip. If you are not
encoding content for the REDRAY (if you are not using the RRencode Plugin), REDCINE-X PRO can encode
up to 12 channels of audio.
4. Click and drag each additional video clip from the Bin to the row labeled V1, and ensure that each clip snaps
to align with the previous clip.
NOTE: Placing a clip over another clip in the row will overwrite part of the previous clip. Leaving a space
between clips will result in a black screen in the encoded video for the length of that gap.
Add More Clips
CREATE AND EDIT PRESETS
A preset is a group of encoding settings. When you download the RRencode Plugin, the plugin loads a default
preset called REDRAY BASE into REDCINE-X PRO. You can use this default preset to encode content, or create
your own preset and customize settings.
1. Click on the Export panel at the bottom of the REDCINE-X PRO application.
2. Click the + in the Export panel.

8. Select Not Restricted from the Distribution drop-down menu.
NOTE: “Not Restricted” is the only Distribution setting available at this time.
9. Select the following check boxes, as needed:
‒Generate Poster Frame: Creates a poster frame.‒Require HDCP On Playback: When this check box is selected, the RRencode Plugin embeds a flag in the
encoded .RED file to enforce HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) on the REDRAY HDMI
outputs. It is recommended that you always use HDCP when encoding content for movie distribution
or pay-for-view applications. Deselect this check box if you are creating content for applications where
you will be using monitors or projectors equipped with DVI or HD-SDI inputs, or other inputs which do
not support HDCP. By default, this check box is selected.
‒Uncompressed Audio: Audio will not be compressed during the encoding process. By default, this check
box is NOT selected. Leaving the audio uncompressed increases the file size of the final encoded content.
NOTE: If you are encoding content that will be used for digital signage applications and that has audio,
RED recommends that you select the Uncompressed Audio check box.
NOTE: If you are encoding content that will be used with the Loopback setting enabled, RED recommends that you select the Uncompressed Audio check box.
