RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE: EPIC/SCARLET

DSMC BRAIN

EPIC-M BRAIN (Left) and SCARLET-X BRAIN (Right)

At the center of the RED modular system is the DSMC BRAIN®, housing the critical image capture electronics and digital image sensor.

The expansive RED arsenal of DSMC modules, monitors, lens mounts, controllers, power, media, and other accessories supports both the EPIC and SCARLET BRAINs. Modular DSMC lens mounts enable you to use your existing Canon®, Nikon®, Leica-M®, and PL lenses to capture the perfect shot.

EPIC-M AND EPIC-X

EPIC-M and EPIC-X BRAINs are the pinnacle of professional cinema-grade cameras, capable of capturing video and stills at up to 6K resolution at 100 frames per second (FPS). Designed with an entirely modular architecture, advanced image processing capabilities, and integrated audio system, the EPIC delivers a remarkable amount of technology—packed into a five (5) lb body.

EPIC-M RED DRAGON (CARBON FIBER)

The EPIC-M RED DRAGON (CARBON FIBER) is engineered with carbon fiber and magnesium parts to significantly reduce weight. Due to the material characteristics of carbon fiber and magnesium, hardware and mounting points differ from the standard aluminum BRAIN and weight restrictions may apply. Some DSMC components are not compatible with the EPIC-M RED DRAGON (CARBON FIBER).

NOTE: Use ONLY designated side SSD modules, magnesium lens mounts, and hardware with the EPIC-M RED DRAGON (CARBON FIBER).

SCARLET-X

The SCARLET-X BRAIN leaves one-dimensional DSLRs in its wake, letting you capture up to 6K video and stills with the RED DRAGON sensor, or 5K video and stills with the MYSTERIUM-X sensor. The SCARLET-X offers the same raw potential as the EPIC with the .R3D® file format that offers unmatched dynamic range, image latitude, and evolving color science.

RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE: EPIC/SCARLET

RED DIGITAL SENSORS

Each EPIC or SCARLET BRAIN is equipped with one of the following sensors:

 RED DRAGON (6K)  MYSTERIUM-X (5K)  MONOCHROME (5K)  RED DRAGON MONOCHROME (6K)

RED DRAGON SENSOR (6K)

RED DRAGON 6K Resolution

The RED DRAGON (6K) sensor captures over nine (9) times more resolution than standard HD. The result is unrivaled detail and impressive native exposure that exceeds 35mm film in both latitude and image density.

The RED DRAGON (6K) sensor is a model for image innovation, leading the way in the evolution of digital cinema technology. Boasting an industry-leading 19 megapixels at 6K resolution, the RED DRAGON (6K) supports 100+ frames per second (FPS), 16.5+ stops of dynamic range, and advanced color science.

MYSTERIUM-X SENSOR

MYSTERIUM-X 5K Resolution

The MYSTERIUM-X sensor was designed specifically for the RED DSMC to capture an industry-leading 5K resolution digital image. The EPIC MYSTERIUM-X provides variable frame rate imaging at up to 95 FPS at 5K FF resolution, and up to 400 FPS at 1K WS resolution.

955-0020_V6.0, REV-J | 10

RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE: EPIC/SCARLET

The MYSTERIUM-X sensor includes high-precision analog to digital conversion, capable of delivering up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range with daytime light sources 800 ISO. With HDRx®, dynamic range can be extended up to approximately 18 stops.

MONOCHROME AND RED DRAGON MONOCHROME SENSORS

MONOCHROME Sensor Still

The MONOCHROME (5K) and RED DRAGON MONOCHROME (6K) are the black and white (B&W) equivalent of the MYSTERIUM-X and RED DRAGON sensors, respectively. Both MONOCHROME sensors use their unique sensor pattern to achieve optimum resolution and extended dynamic range. The MONOCHROME sensors also take advantage of greater light sensitivity and tonal transfer in gradients, far exceeding the monochrome quality of a color image converted to black and white.

NOTE: The MONOCHROME and RED DRAGON MONOCHROME sensors are only available with EPIC BRAINs.

R3D FILE FORMAT AND REDCODE

The R3D file format was developed by RED to provide an efficient and manageable RAW video data format that promotes advanced post-production editing capabilities. In the R3D file format, the digital image received from the sensor is formatted as a pixel-defect corrected (but in all other aspects unprocessed) 16-bit per pixel RAW data frame. Each RAW frame, or sequence of RAW frames in a clip, is compressed using a proprietary wavelet based REDCODE® RAW compression, then stored to a RED MINI-MAG® or REDMAG™ 1.8" SSD.

RAW data is recorded independently of any RGB domain color processing such as ISO, White Balance, or other RGB color space settings. Instead, color parameters are saved as reference metadata; that is, color is not burned into the recorded RAW data. This recording technique promotes flexibility in RGB color processing, which can be deferred to post-production or adjusted in the field, without affecting the recorded RAW data image quality or dynamic range.

REDCODE is a visually lossless, wavelet-based compression codec that reduces R3D RAW files into a manageable size, allowing longer recording times on media. The ability to compress RAW data is one of the significant technologies that RED has brought to the industry.

For more information, see the DSMC Media Operation Guide, available at www.red.com/downloads. NOTE: REDCINE-X PRO® can create and export .RMD “Look” files which may then be imported as camera

monitor path color processing presets. This information is stored as reference metadata, so that these color processing choices can be the default values used in post-production. For more information, go to “Looks” on

page 138.

RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE: EPIC/SCARLET

SHOOT FOR VIDEO AND STILLS

High resolution video, such as the digital footage captured by the DSMC, has surpassed the detail necessary to produce professional full-sized prints. Because of the ability to record at high frame rates and resolution, the DSMC is ideally suited to capture video and still images, simultaneously.

The DSMC is equipped with a Stills mode that makes it easier to capture stunning images. With presets optimized for stills and Swipe-Up Shortcuts for the RED Touch display, switching from Motion mode to Stills mode is seamless. Using REDCINE-X PRO, or other editing applications supporting the RED SDK, you can pull full resolution still images from R3D files.

NOTE: Stills mode is compatible with v6.0 firmware or later.

POST PRODUCTION WITH REDCINE-X PRO

REDCINE-X PRO

REDCINE-X PRO is a professional coloring toolset, equipped with an integrated timeline and a post effects software collection that provides the ideal environment to edit, organize, and prepare your R3D files.

RED TETHER, included in REDCINE-X PRO, allows you to record footage from your camera directly to a computer or an external drive. Using tethering bypasses the need to record to an SSD and offload to a computer later, saving you time.

RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE: EPIC/SCARLET

HDRX AND MAGIC MOTION

HDRx

HDRX

HDRx extends dynamic range up to six (6) stops by simultaneously capturing two (2) images of identical resolution and frame rate. The first image is a normally exposed track (A-track), while the second is an underexposed track (X-track) with an exposure value that reflects the additional stops of highlight protection. These tracks are “motion-conjoined” during recording, leaving no time gap between the two (2) exposures. This is different from traditional alternating exposures, which have small gaps between tracks, producing unwanted motion tracks.

MAGIC MOTION

MAGIC MOTION is a post production method that combines two (2) HDRx tracks to create an image with both natural motion blur (from the A-track) and sharper reference (the X-track). MAGIC MOTION produces an image with an extraordinary dynamic range that is not available with any other motion capture camera.

Shooting at 24 FPS with a 180° (1/48 sec) shutter on traditional film or digital cameras produces motion blur throughout, which is not the way the human eye observes motion. For example, ask someone to swing their arm. What you would observe in a traditional recording of this action is constant motion blur until the arm stops. However, what your eye sees is both motion blur and a sharper reference of the arm throughout the motion path. MAGIC MOTION creates an image that matches the natural motion observed by the human eye.
