RED ONE camera with Basic Production Package (battery, RED-DRIVE & lens not included)

The distance from the digital magazine cradle to the camera back may be adjusted to counter balance the weight of the lens. In addition the shoulder pad/wedge plate adaptor can slide against the base plate and be locked in position. The adaptor includes wedge plate mounting holes, so there is no need to remove this component between on-the shoulder and tripod applications. Additional rods, brackets and grips may be added to the Basic Production Pack to configure the camera to a wide variety of studio and field production applications.

The RED ONE Power Pack includes two 140Wh batteries, RED CHARGER and an auxiliary power cable. When connected to a 120V/240V AC power source, the charger sequentially fast charges two batteries, or supplies the camera with 100W @13.8V regulated DC power.

2. Ca mera Asse mbly

The RED RAIL BASE PLATE, TOP BRACKET, and HANDLES are attached to the camera body using ! - 20 hex screws. A HEX driver is supplied with the camera. The rails and shoulder pad/wedge plate adapter slide into the base plate. The RED CRADLE, which holds a RED DRIVE and the V mount battery plate, attaches to the Universal Rail mount plate using a hex screw. This is mounted to the camera using 19mm rods.

If using RED-DRIVE, plate it into the RED-CRADLE and secure it with the four thumbscrews. Then connect the RED e-SATA cable to the RED-DRIVE and to the e-SATA input on the rear of the camera body. Connect the power cable from the battery plate adapter to the DC input on the rear of the camera body.

The RED-LCD and RED--EVF viewfinder are mounted to the camera body using a RED ARM. Attach the RED ARM to the camera body using the shorter threaded screw. There are attachment points on the camera body or on the RED RAIL TOP BRACKET. Attach the other threaded end of the arm to the RED-LCD or RED-EVF.

Then connect the cable from the camera body to the RED-LCD or RED-EVF. Carefully align the red dots on the socket and plug, and push firmly to establish contact.

Attaching the RED-LCD or RED-EVF

The RED-LCD and RED-EVF cables are interchangeable; but the outputs are not. The RED-EVF should be connected to the upper output; a RED-LCD should be connected to the lower output.

Remove the lens cap and mount the PL lens you wish to use. The lens will have four metal tabs with cutouts for the registration pin in the mount. If using S4/i compatible lenses the data pins should be at the top of the lens.

Note : Mat chi ng pins a re not curr ently ins talled in the R ED P/L mount.

Attach matte box and motors, and any auxiliary power cables required to power these items.

Insert the digital media, such as RED 8GB compact flash (CF) card, or connect a RED-DRIVE via the supplied custom e-SATA cable.

Inserting a Compact Flash card

Attach a RED-BRICK 140 battery, or connect to a RED-CHARGER using the supplied cable. Now adjust the balance of the camera. The RED CRADLE/Universal Rail mount unit slides on 19mm rods so you can adjust the distance to the camera back. Find the position that best offsets the weight of the lens. Finally tighten the butterfly locks to maintain that position. The shoulder pad/wedge plate adaptor is also designed to slide within the RED RAIL base plate until you lock it in place. You don’t need to remove it to mount the camera on a tripod.

Press the On/Off switch to power the camera. The rear status display will illuminate, and after approximately 60 seconds it will display the camera PIN, firmware build and firmware version.

The P.I.N: is a unique product identification code in the format ABC_123_XYZ. This code is included in the metadata recorded with each image. The PIN provides tracking data for customer service and assistance in authenticating legal ownership of the camera.

When the camera is ready for use, the lower LED to the right of the status display turns green.

4. Theory of Operation

The RED ONE Digital Cinema camera provides high performance digital imaging over a wide range of frame rates and optical formats including Super 35mm, 35mm and Super16mm. The camera is supplied as standard with a PL mount, and may be configured with 19 mm rods to accommodate most cinematography lenses, matte boxes and follow focus systems. Adaptors for 15mm offset studio and 15mm lightweight rods are also available.

In addition to compatibility with existing PL mount cinematography lenses; a select range of S35/35mm format PL mount prime and zoom lenses are available from RED Digital Cinema.

Other lens mounts, including Canon FD, and Nikon F will be available from RED and 3rd parties, permitting the use of Nikkor and Canon photographic lenses. To use these mounts the PL mount must be removed. This should be done in a dust-free environment, as the camera’s optical path will be exposed to the elements.

A B4 mount to PL mount adaptor is also available to permit use of 2/3” HD lenses on the RED ONE camera. The optical coverage is provided is equivalent to S16 mm. Hence, the maximum recording resolution with these lenses will be 2K RAW.

Mysteri um™ Sens or

The Mysterium™ sensor has been specifically designed for use with the RED ONE camera, and provides variable frame rate imaging over 1- 60fps (1-120fps in 2K windowed mode).

Mysterium is color balanced for 5,000 degrees Kelvin, but may be electronically compensated for operation at any color temperature in the range 1,700 to 10,000 Kelvin. White Balance presets at 3200K and 5600K are available for Tungsten and Daylight lighting.

Mysterium includes an integrated 12bit resolution analog to digital converter for each pixel, and is capable of delivering up to 66dB dynamic range (11 stops) when operating at the default Exposure Index of 320 ASA.

Image Pro cessi ng

The data received from the Mysterium sensor is formatted as unprocessed 12 bit RAW data, (pixel defect corrected but not color processed) a technique common to digital photography. RAW data may be recorded in-camera using wavelet based compression (REDCODE RAW) to compact flash, hard disk drive or flash drive media.

The RAW output data of the sensor is also converted to white balanced RGB 4:4:4 monitor video that conforms to the SMPTE/EBU REC709 color gamut. It may be lightly color processed to illustrate a “look”, and feeds the RED-EVF, RED-LCD, HD-SDI and HDMI outputs.

Feb 07 2008 Copyright RED Digital Cinema

Audio Pro ce ssi ng

Line input analog audio received via the min-XLR inputs is immediately digitized at 24 bit per sample at a 48KHz sample rate. Microphone level audio inputs are routed via an adjustable gain pre-amplifier before digitization, no gain adjustment is available for Line level inputs.

Reference Line Input level (0dB) is 0.775v. Microphones with an output sensitivity ranging between -30dB and -60dB can be accommodated by the pre-amplifier, which provides user adjustable amplification over the range of +22dB to +54dB with minimal signal degradation.

Due to the significantly higher precision and dynamic range of 24 bit sampling, input stage limiters or AGC’s are not provided by the RED-ONE camera. Th e digi ti zed audi o dat a can be co nsider ed a s hig h dyna mic range RA W sound info rma ti on t ha t is compli me ntar y to t he h igh dyna mic ra nge R AW vi deo informat ion.

Just as linear response RAW video data is converted to REC 709 for metering, the linear response audio data is converted to Log Base 10 data for metering. A color coded 4 channel audio meter is provided in the lower section of the camera GUI. This information is visible in the RED-EVF, RED-LCD and HDMI (DVI) monitor outputs.

The goal for optimal quality recording is to place the audio reference level at an appropriate location in the digital range, providing sufficient headroom above the reference level to prevent clipping, while maintaining the sound quality of lower volume sources such as dialog.

A 0dB reference voltage level of 0.775V provides approximately 8dB of headroom above reference. Microphone pre-amplifier gains should be adjusted accordingly (i.e. 8dB lower)

e.g . With an Azde n SGM X 1 m icrop ho ne r ated at - 41d B sensit ivit y, s et t he mi crop hone pre- ampli fi er to (4 1 – 9 ) = 3 2d B for o pti ma l recorded sig nal qual it y.

RED- LCD and R ED- EV F

The optional RED-LCD and RED-EVF are specialized video monitors that may be attached to the camera body, and provide a variety of tools to assist framing, focus and exposure.

Feb 07 2008 Copyright RED Digital Cinema

- Surround View, which is an additional visible area outside the actual recorded image.

- Frame guidelines show common film presentation and television formats such as 2.40:1

and 1.85:1, picture center, and/or television aspect ratios such as 16:9, 14:9 and 4:3.

- Focus is aided by the high resolution of the displays and FOCUS check, a 2x image magnify function, complimented by a selectable waveform based focus assist meter.

- Dual zebra, false color meter and a selection of histograms assist optimal exposure.

System information including instantaneous frame rate, exposure index, shutter speed, color temperature, recording format, clip name, timecode, battery and media remaining is provided in the LCD/EVF monitor outputs, and the rear status display on the camera back. For applications when a RED-LCD or RED-EVF are not desired – for example when working on a crane – the Surround View video, frame guides, and exposure overlays are also available on the Preview HD-SDI output, for remote camera monitoring up to 200 ft away.

Digita l Mag azi nes

REDCODE RAW compressed video, time code and other metadata, may be recorded to onboard or attached digital media devices including -

RED FLASH CF – An internal reader/writer that utilizes high speed Compact Flash media.

RED-DRIVE – A hard disk memory based Digital Magazine of up to 320GB capacity.

RED-RAM – A solid-state flash memory based Digital Magazine of up to 64GB capacity.

Either type of Digital Magazine may be connected to a computer via FireWire or USB-2. Each clip is recorded with a unique clip name and placed in a clip folder like this -

Rec or d Indica ti on

On record, the RED ONE camera provides a variety of record tallies. Timecode, normally displayed in white colored text, will turn red, and a small red dot will appear in the top left corner of the monitor. The upper LED to the right of the status display screen will turn red, and if using an EVF, the front LED will also turn red.

If media is not present, the camera will provide a warning as follows – RECORDING ERROR NO_DIGIMAG. If this warning is displayed, check the physical mounting of the CF card, or that the RED-DRIVE is attached to the e-SATA port using the supplied 16 pin LEMO cable.

Met ad ata

RED-ONE cameras record Metadata, which is data that describes the precise characteristics of the picture and sound data captured in each frame of footage. This may include camera specific setup information, project and clip management information, Edge code, Time code, date and location, lens settings, and video and audio processing information.

Feb 07 2008 Copyright RED Digital Cinema

Pos t Pr oduct io n

Compressed REDCODE RAW images may be post processed using RED ALERT! or REDCINE applications. These applications convert RAW sensor data to RGB video, and correct white balance, exposure, tonal response and color timing. The processed footage may then be exported to a variety of industry standard file formats for use in postproduction.

File Na mi ng Co nven tion s

As each recording is made, the RED ONE camera calculates a Clip Number, starting at clip 001 for each new piece of digital media. The Clip Number and Slate data are combined to create the Clip Name identifying each recording. In a similar manner, any time digital media is formatted by the camera, a unique camera ID letter and Reel Number are assigned to that media. This allows each clip to be uniquely identified, even operating in a multi-camera shoot.

e.g. for each clip, a Clip Name is created using the structure: A001_C001_070828.RDC

Where A = camera A, 001 = reel 001, C001 = clip 001, 07 = 2007 and 0828 = Aug 28.

Three cameras identified as A, B and C can therefore have individually recognizable clips

A001_C001_070828.RDC B001_C001_070828.RDC and C001_C001_070828.RDC

A single camera identified as A can have individually recognizable reel numbers, such as

A001_C001_070828.RDC, A002_C001_070828.RDC, and A003_C001_070828.RDC

Under normal operation, the reel number continues to increment each time a new piece of digital media is mounted by the camera up to a maximum value of 999. However the reel number may be manually reset to 001 or other value, for example at the start of each day.

A001_C001_070829.RDC and then force to 1 for A001_C001_070830.RDC

Using the same technique, virtual reels can also be created on a single piece of digital media.

A001_C023_070828.RDC and then force to 5 for A005_C024_070829.RDC

Time code

As each recording is made, the RED ONE camera records two independent timecode tracks.

Edge Code is a SMPTE timecode track that always starts at 1.00.00.00 on the first frame of each piece of digital media. It is a sequential code that is continuous from frame to frame and also between clips. Edge Code is also equivalent to RUN RECORD on a video camcorder.

Time Code is a SMPTE timecode track that records the camera’s clock, or if operated in Jam Sync mode, records an externally supplied SMPTE master timecode signal. It is therefore a sequential code that is continuous from frame to frame, but discontinuous between clips.

When in Varispeed or Timelapse recording modes, the timecode counters are updated at the same frame rate as the recording. This means valid SMPTE timecode is created without count jumps that would affect clip playback or editing. If using an external timecode source with Jam Sync enabled, the clip’s master time reference point is the first frame of the recorded clip.

Powe r co nsumpt ion

The camera draws approximately 70 watts in a typical configuration. A RED BRICK 140Wh battery will run the camera and typical accessories for about 90 minutes. The camera is normally cooled by passive convection from the camera body, assisted as required by a fan.

When using the RED CHARGER, recharge time for a single RED BRICK battery is 200 minutes. The battery can also be partially charged, to approximately 80% capacity, in 120 minutes.

Charge times may be significantly longer on other V lock compatible battery chargers.

Oper ating the ca mera fr om the RED-CH ARGER.

Plug the RED-CHARGER into an AC power source between (120 – 240V). Plug one end of the supplied 6-pin power cable into the Aux power output of the RED CHARGER and the other end into the D.C power input of the camera. Now turn on the RED-CHARGER.

When the LED above the charger’s Aux power output turns green, you can turn on the camera.

Note: The maximum sustainable power load of the RED-CHARGER is 100W @13.8V. The output of the charger is over current protected, and will shut down if an excess load condition occurs. If the output trips for any reason, remove any external loads from the camera, such as lights, motors etc, turn off the RED-CHARGER and repeat the above procedure.

Sett ing up a pro je ct.

Before recording, the camera must be instructed to follow a Record Quality, Frame Rate and Resolution. These values are set in the PROJECT sub menu located in the SYSTEM menu.

1. Press the SYSTEM menu key, then the PROJECT key. This highlights the PROJECT sub-menu

2. Push the joystick right, then press to enter the CONFIGURE menu to set the QUALITY

Quali ty. Choose between REDCODE 28 or REDCODE 36. Default is REDCODE 28.

Note: REDCODE 36 limits the available choices of frame rates and resolutions to CF cards.

3. Next select the project FRAME RATE

Fra me Rate: Choose between 23.98, 24.00, 25.00 or 29.97fps Project Frame Rates.

Note: 2K recording resolutions also support 50.00 and 59.94 fps Project Frame Rates.

4. Next select the project RESOLUTION

Reso luti on. Choose 4K, 3K or 2K, or 2:1 variants. Use 2K or 2K 2:1 for S16mm/B4 lenses.

Note: A project can only support one Project Frame Rate as this defines the frame rate to be used for timecode and for clip playback. It is also the primary frame rate for acquisition, but variable speed (overcrank and undercrank) recordings can be made above and below this base frame rate. On playback these recordings will be displayed at the Project Frame Rate

5. Finally, push the joystick left, and press it again to enter the SLATE menu.

- CAMERA Select a letter between A – Z. The default is camera letter is A.

- REEL Select a number between 1 and 999. The default reel number is 1.

After making any adjustments to the SLATE menu, press the EXIT key to exit the menus.

Rec or ding

Check that you have a RED-DRIVE attached, or Compact Flash card inserted in the camera.

To initiate a recording, press either RECORD button. Press once to begin recording and again to stop recording. The camera will automatically create a file name for every clip recorded on the digital magazine or media.

REDCODE RAW recordings store the Color Temperature and Exposure (ASA) values you enter as metadata. This metadata is used to color balance the viewfinder and other monitor outputs. It is also used in REDALERT! as the initial White Balance point – change it if you wish – when you process the RAW footage. Timecode generated by the camera is Non Drop Frame (NDF).

Digital media should be treated with equal care as exposed film or a videotape master. We recommend storing digital media that contains your footage in a secure location and backing up the data on another digital media, such as data tape or a hard disk drive.

Each clip is recorded to the digital media in a separate folder and with a unique clip name. To copy the clip from the digital media to a Macintosh or Windows computer, just drag and drop its folder to the computer’s storage device. If you open the Clip folder, it will look like this –

There will be one or more REDCODE RAW data files (.R3D) containing RAW sensor data, plus audio and metadata, and three QuickTime reference movies, which allows a QuickTime Player to display the recorded RAW data at _H high, _M medium or _P proxy resolutions.

Double click on either of the QuickTime reference movies to see a preview of the .R3D file.

Playback frame rate will depend on the processor speed of your computer. If the frame rate is too low, select a smaller QuickTime movie. Typically the preview resolution will be the best choice for a battery powered laptop computer or older tower configuration model.

Note: to operate with QuickTime under Macintosh OSX, you must install the supplied REDCODE RAW plug-in available at www.red.com/support QuickTime for Windows is not supported at this time.

Playback

Playback of recorded clips is available on-camera using the Transport Control Keys.

The I> key is used to enter PLAYBACK mode, and to initiate playback of the last recorded Clip. Press it once to enter Playback mode, and a second time to start playback. Once in clip playback, this key acts as a Play/Pause toggle.

The >> key permits the Clip to be played back at higher speeds. Each press of this key cycles clip playback between 2 x, 8 x and 32 x speed playback.

The << key permits the Clip to be played back in reverse. Each press of this key cycles clip playback between – 1 x, - 2 x and - 8 x speed playback.

The I< key cues the Clip to its Start Frame. If already at the Start Frame, pressing this key again will cue to the Start Frame of the previous clip recorded on the digital media, if one exists.

The >I key cues the Clip to its End Frame. If already at the End Frame, pressing this key again will cue to the Start Frame of the next clip recorded on the digital media, if one exists.

It is recommended, but not necessary, to exit Playback mode prior to the next recording. To exit playback mode, press the RECORD key, or press the EXIT key to the left of the joystick.

Note: When in playback, all cursors are disabled and the full screen width is used to display a clean feed of the recorded video signal. If monitoring EVF+PVW or PVW (720p), the 1280 x 720 pixel video output represents a scaled version of your 4K or 2K recording.

Depending on the capture frame rate, pull down may be added to create a standard 720p

59.94Hz or 50.00 Hz high definition video signal which may be recorded or monitored by a variety of 3rd party devices using HD-SDI and/or HDMI interfaces.

Note: At this time there is no embedded SMPTE timecode available from the HD-SDI outputs.

Monit or ing.

RED-LCD and RED-EVF monitors are factory preset digital displays. There are no saturation, peaking or contrast adjustments as found on analog monitors for correct color reproduction.

All monitor outputs on the RED ONE camera provide REC 709 standard color and gamma. Image intensity can be adjusted to compensate for ambient lighting conditions. For the REDLCD, use the Up / Down keys on top of the display. For RED-EVF use the rotary encoder.

To assist with exposure, the RED-EVF, RED-LCD and HDMI and Preview HD-SDI outputs can display either a dual Zebra pattern or a False Color exposure meter overlaid on the video.

RED- LCD Con tr ols.

The top of the RED-LCD provides two round and two triangular keys. The key on the left is used to turn the METER (e.g. FOCUS ASSIST) selected in the VIEWFINDER menu On/Off.

The two triangular keys in the center are used to increase or decrease the backlight intensity.

The key on the right is used to switch between 1280 x 848 pixel Video plus Menus and 1280 x 720 pixel Video plus Frame Guide modes. If a RED-LCD is physically connected, but there is no video displayed, press and hold this button to acquire the monitor feed to the RED-LCD.

RED- EVF Contr ols

The focus ring on the viewfinder may be adjusted for optimal subject focus for your eye. The available diopter range is +1.5 to -2.0.

Feb 07 2008 Copyright RED Digital Cinema

The User Key closest to the focus ring selects IMAGE MAGNIFY mode. This magnifies the central region of the subject image in the monitor path, but leaves the record path unaffected.

The upper center User Key turns COLOR TOOLS (monochrome or false color) On/Off and the lower center User Key turns the METER (e.g. WAVEFORM or FOCUS ASSIST) On/Off.

Press and hold the large rotary switch for two seconds to switch the monitor video output from any other display, such as the RED-LCD, to the RED-EVF if both are attached at the same time.

The rotary switch may also be used to adjust the viewfinder backlight intensity. Push the switch once to activate this control. Rotation clockwise decreases the display intensity, counterclockwise increases the display intensity. Push the switch once more to lock in the value.

To aid external monitor alignment, the RED-ONE camera provides a range of test signals including SMPTE BARS, Luminance and Chrominance Ramps, and a Chip Chart. Note that the test signal cannot be recorded; it is provided to align external video recorders or monitors connected to the camera via the HD-SDI or HDMI ports.

Consult your monitors Operations Manual for instructions on video monitor alignment.

6. SENSOR MENU Controls

This section describes how to set sensor specific menu parameters including Exposure, Shutter Speed, Color Temperature, Varispeed and Timelapse. Press the SENSOR menu key at the bottom left of the status display or a direct access key on the left of the status display.

Note: When recording RAW, Exposure and Color Temperature values are stored as metadata for use in REDCODE RAW compatible NLE and image processing applications.

The Exposure and Color Temperature values only modify the RED-LCD, RED-EVF, Preview HDSDI and HDMI monitor outputs. They do not affect the recorded REDCODE RAW video data.

Exp os ure

Exp os ure Inde x: adjusts the camera’s operating sensitivity. The default exposure index is ASA 320, adjustable in 1/3rd stop increments from ASA 100 to ASA 2000. If the exposure index is adjusted, camera metadata logs the change and the monitor path reacts accordingly.

Color Temp erat ur e

Color Temp erat ur e: adjusts the purity of white reproduction of the RGB monitoring paths at different Color Temperatures of ambient light. Factory default is 5,000 degrees Kelvin.

Preset values are available for Tungsten (3,200K) and Daylight (5,600K). The operator may also manually set any other Color Temperature in the range 1,700 to 10,000 degrees Kelvin.

The Automatic White Balance function allows the camera to calculate a Color Temperature that will render a white object as white. AWB mode analyzes the central 25% of the image visible in the monitor. To use Auto WB, place a white or gray object under the ambient light, select the Auto WB parameter and then press the Joystick once. If AWB has been assigned, via USER KEY menu selection, you may also press User B key on the camera side panel.

Tint

Color Temperature calculations assume a pure light source that may not be true in the specific scene the camera is imaging. To compensate for any residual colorcast, the TINT parameter can adjust the RGB color balance with a compensating Magenta - Green color component.

Shu tter Me nu

Adjusts the exposure time of each frame captured by the Mysterium sensor. The exposure time is may be programmed via a series of preset Shutter Speeds encompassing all the common shutter angles available on a camera operating at a nominal 24 or 25 fps. Adjustments may be made to a preset shutter speed by the RELATIVE and SYNCRO parameters.

Ge nlo ck: permits Shutter Phase (scan start time) to be referenced to an external Tri-Level Sync genlock signal. For 3D and multi-camera applications this permits the precise scan timing and phase relationship of two or more cameras to be matched.

Mod e: enables one of three following shutter modes. Default is Normal.

Normal: Shutter Speed is defined exclusively by the Shutter Speed setting.

Syncro: Shutter Speed is defined by Shutter Speed, but modified by Syncro setting.

Relative: Shutter Speed is defined by Shutter Speed, but modified by the capture fps.

Shu tter Spe ed

When operating in the default (Nor mal ) mode, the Shu tter Speed values are absolute and independent of the capture frame rate.

This means as Shutter Speed decreases, more light falls on the sensor, increasing exposure and motion blur on any objects moving within the frame. As Shutter Speed increases less light falls on the sensor, decreasing exposure and motion blur on objects moving within the frame.

Spee d: Exposure times presets include: 1/24, 1/25, 1/30, 1/32, 1/33, 1/40, 1/48, 1/50, 1/60, 1/96, 1/100, 1/120, 1/125, 1/192, 1/200, 1/250, 1/384, 1/400, 1/500, 1/696, 1/800, 1/1,000, 1/1,200, 1/2,000th sec.

When operating at 23.98 or 24.00fps, these equal common shutter angles of

1/32nd 270 deg 1/96 90

1/48 180 1/192 45

1/60 144 1/384 22.5

Rela tive : When operating in this mode, the Shutter Speed values are proportionately reduced or extended to correspond to changes in the instantaneous capture frame rate. This mode is analogous to use of a fixed shutter angle on a film camera.

e.g. Enabling Relative mode with 1/48th sec shutter at 24fps will mean 1/96th sec for 48fps, and 1/16th sec for 8fps. This achieves the same visual result as setting a180 degree shutter.

Syn cr o: When operating in this mode, the Shutter Speed values may be proportionately reduced or extended to tune exposure time to a precise value. Range 10 – 90. Default 50.

e.g. Setting Syncro to 53 with a 1/60th sec shutter is equal to 1/56.6 sec exposure time.

Phase: provides a delay relative to the start of the frame for the exposure time. Phase may be adjusted over the range - 45 to + 45 degrees. Default value is 0.

Note : T o Con ve rt Sh utter Spe ed t o Angle Equi valent

Equivalent Degrees = (Shutter Speed x Project Frame Rate x 360)

Vari spee d

The Varispeed menu supports Variable Frame Rate recording at speeds faster or slower than the Project Frame Rate and Frame Rate Ramping. VariSpeed recordings can be initiated by pressing the Record key, or by GPI trigger.

Note : I n al l Var ispeed mode s, audio re cor di ng is disa bl ed.

Note: In Varispeed modes timecode is written to digital media at a rate equal to the instantaneous capture rate. This ensures that the recorded REDCODE RAW data has valid and sequentially incrementing timecode for use by non-linear editing devices.

Note: In Varispeed, the frame rate display turns yellow, the audio panel reports VARISPEED.

Vari spee d: Before recording, enable this function by checking the Va ri spee d checkbox.

Ramp: enables a speed ramp; a transition over Time from the F rame Rat e to an End Rate

On- Re cord : The ramp will immediately start transitioning from Frame Rate to the End Rate.

On- Even t: On record, the capture frame rate starts out at the Frame Rate, and the start of the transition to the End Rate occurs only when an external GPI trigger has been received.

Fra merate : enables the user to choose any single frame rate. Minimum frame rate is 1 fps; maximum frame rate is a function of REDCODE setting, record resolution and media type:

3K 2:1 36 fps 50 fps

3K 30 fps 36 fps

4K 2:1 25 fps 25 fps

4K n /a 25 fps

Time : When Ramp is enabled, this value specifies the transition time to be used by the camera between the (start) Frame Rate and the End (frame) Rate. Default value is 5 seconds.

End R ate: When Ramp is enabled, this value specifies the final (ending) speed of the ramp in frames per second. When a ramp transition has been completed, the camera will continue to record at the End Rate until the end of the Recording.

Note: When in Varispeed modes the camera maintains the last exposure time selected (unless the requested frame rate requires a shorter exposure time) to provide a constant exposure. If a variable exposure is required set the Shutter Mode to Relative - this is a fixed angle setting.

Time lap se

The Timelapse menu supports single frame image capture and step frame recording under the control of an internal Intervalometer, side RECORD key or an external (GPI) trigger.

Enable: After making any adjustments in the timelase menu, check the Enable box to enter these values and enable the Timelapse record mode. The UI indicates by changing the top left frame rate display from f ps to TL, and the lower right audio level display to TIMELA PSE.

Trig ger Mod e: Specifies if the camera is to use a fixed Interval of time or wait for a side record command or external GPI contact closure to initiate the next frame capture.

Inte rval : the camera waits for the period of time defined by the I nt erva l parameter.

One-S hot: the camera to waits for a side record command or external GPI contact closure.

The default setting is One-Shot.

Spee d: Specifies the shutter speed to be used during Timelapse. This control is the same as is available in the S hutter menu, but it provides access to additional shutter speeds that may be used in Timelapse recording.

The additional exposure time presets are 1, 1/2, 1/3 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16 second

Note : I n Build 14 shutte r sp eeds below 1/1 6th se c are not yet implemen ted..

Step Pri nt: Specifies the number of times each single frame captured in timelapse mode is to be recorded to the digital media. Available range is 1 - 10 frames. Default value is 1 frame.

Inte rval : Specifies the number of seconds the camera will wait before the next image is captured. Range is 1 – 1024 seconds. Default setting is 5 seconds.

Note: When recording in Timelapse mode, the RECORD tally lamp will remain illuminated.

Each successive step print uses the next available Edge Code and Time Code value and uses the existing clip name. This results in a complete timelapse sequence with a single clip name and correct timecode sequence.

To exit Timelapse mode press the RECORD button.

An example of false color metering (from the RED-LCD) is shown below –

And the corresponding white balanced but otherwise unprocessed, source footage – this was captured at late morning at exposure index A320, 24fps, 1/48th sec shutter and no filtering.

Note the transition of false color in the clouds, indicating clip point was almost reached, the light grey chair is exposed at approximately 18% gray, and the foliage falls in the shadows.

When Edge Highlight is selected the edges of items in focus is outlined.

Met er: allows the operator to choose an “always on” signal analysis. Selections include Spot Meter, Luma Histogram and RGB Histogram.

If Spo t Me ter is selected, a red rectangular box will appear centered on the center cursor of the image. The size of this sample box can be adjusted by rotating the Joystick, and its location can be adjusted by moving the joystick in X and Y directions. Press the joystick to fix the sample box. The average IRE value of the pixels in the sample box is shown in the lower section of the full camera display.

If Luma or RGB Histogram are selected, a corresponding histogram illustrates the exposure distribution. The histograms are complimented by a Clip Meter that looks like a traffic light – but with red, blue and green lamps. When either of the R, G, B channels has 2% of their pixels at the maximum (clip) value, then a corresponding light will illuminate.

Assis ts : allows the operator to choose a signal analysis waveform. Selections include Waveform Exposure, RGB Parade Histogram and Focus Assist.

If Wa ve for m is selected, a color coded waveform illustrates the exposure values using the full width of the lower section of the camera display. As exposure reaches maximum, waveform color changes to yellow and then red. At minimum exposure, the waveform color changes to light blue then dark blue. These colors match those used in the False Color Meter.

If RG B Parade is selected, a corresponding histogram illustrates the exposure distribution in the R, G and B channels using the full width of the lower section of the camera display.

If Foc us A ssist or Fo cus Over lay are selected, a full screen width red rectangular box will appear centered on the center cursor of the image. The vertical position of this sample box can be adjusted by rotating the Joystick, and its height can be adjusted by moving the joystick left or right. Press the joystick to fix the sample box. The average focus value of the pixels in the sample box are shown in a full width graph restricted to the lower section of the camera display (Focus Assist) or overlaid in the lower section of the active video (Focus Overlay)

For mat: select to format digital media. The camera will warn that “all data will be erased”, and formatting require that a sequence of confirm commands are made before proceeding.

Note: Media formatted on-camera will generate create a directory name in the format:

Camera Letter + Reel Number + Year + Month + Day. e.g. A001_070512 etc

Proj ect Men u

The project menu sets the operating parameters the camera will use for a given project.

Selections are SLATE, CONFIGURE, TIMECODE and QT PROXIES

Slat e lets the operator identify the camera and starting reel number for the project, so clips recorded on the digital media may be easily identified in post-production.

Came ra: is a single letter (A-Z) that provides a unique identifier for the camera in a multicamera production environment. The default camera identifier is A.

When you push record, the camera names the clip being recorded on the digital media. The format of the clip name is Camera Letter + Reel Number + Clip Number + Year + Month + Day. For example the clip name might be –

Feb 07 2008 Copyright RED Digital Cinema

Note that a project can only support one Project Frame Rate. Changing the Project Frame rate will force a new project and reset the reel number counter. This occurs because the Project Frame Rate defines the fundamental time base used for timecode, clip playback and editing, as well as being the primary frame rate for acquisition.

However variable speed recordings can be made above and below this base frame rate. On playback, these variable speed recordings will be displayed at the Project Frame Rate.

Time code: select to change displayed timecode track, force Jam sync or reset camera clock.

Jam Syn c: instructs the camera to replace its internal Time of Day value with external timecode read from the 5pin LEMO connector. This value is updated at the first frame of each recording, provided a valid external timecode source is present. If the external source is not present, the camera auto-increments the timecode until the external source is re-connected.

Disp lay: lets the operator select whether Edge Code or Time Code is displayed in the status displays. This selection also determines which of the two recorded timecode tracks will be used in the QuickTime reference movies, and will be embedded in the HD-SDI outputs.

Feb 07 2008 Copyright RED Digital Cinema

If Edge Code is selected, “E” precedes the value shown in the status display. If Time Code is selected, "T," precedes the value shown in the status display. Default setting is Time Code.

Time zon e: Applies a time offset to the SET CLOCK value established for the camera.

If camera date and Time are set to GMT, and then set TIMEZONE to –8 for West Coast US (Pacific) time etc. Or set to local time, and then set the TIMEZONE value to 0.

QT Pr oxie s

When checked, the camera will create QuickTime reference movies at the completion of each clip record. These movies are placed in the same clip folder. While the reference movies are being created the camera reports “POST” in the status display. You will not be able to record until the QuickTime proxies have been created.

Monitor

The monitor menu provides controls for the framing guides and test patterns.

Selections are FRAME GUIDE, ACTIVE, TEST SIGNAL, HD-SDI and EVF REFRESH

Frame Guide: This sub-menu provides a selection of film frame guides and television safe

action and safe title guides. Frame guide elections are recorded in metadata.

Fra me G ui de: select one of these aspect ratios 2.40:1, 1.85:1, 16:9 and 4:3 for the frame guides. The color can be set to White, Black, Blue, Yellow or Red for maximum visibility over the scene you are shooting.

Prot ect: displays a television safe area with16: 9, 14:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio. The color of the safe area indicator can be set to White, Black, Blue, Yellow or Red for maximum visibility over the scene you are shooting.

Cursors: enables combination displays of Safe Action, Safe Title and Image Center cursors.

Active

This sub-menu selects the primary monitoring output of the camera.

Output choices include RED-EVF, RED-LCD, PREVIEW and HDMI. The PREVIEW mode places 720p video on both the Preview HD-SDI and HDMI outputs. To use a DVI computer monitor as an external viewfinder, select HDMI. This puts 1280 x 848 progressive scan video equal to the RED-EVF on the HDMI output. Then use a HDMI to DVI cable to connect the monitor.

The EVF+PVW mode permits the RED-EVF and PREVIEW modes to operate simultaneously.

Test Signal

Permits the video monitor outputs to be replaced with a video test pattern

To enable/disable a test signal check the box. Available test signals include: Color Bars, Luminance Ramp, Chrominance Ramp, Chip Chart, Black and Gray Field.

HD- SDI

Sets the1280 x 720p HD-SDI and HDMI monitor signal update rate to 50.00 or 59.94 Hz.

The default is 59.94 (720p 59.94) In Europe you may wish to select 50.00 (720p/50.00)

EVF R efre sh

When capturing images at normal frame rate and 23.98, 24.00 or 25.00 fps Project Frame Rates, refresh permits the operator to select the display refresh rate used by the RED-EVF.

The default mode is SYNCED. This avoids use of 2:3 pull down, and instead doubles the capture frame rate to display images at 48Hz (50Hz for 25.00 fps). The display may exhibit increased luminance flicker do to the lower frame update rate, but will not have a 2:3 stutter.

The alternative FIXED mode uses 2:3 pull down or other appropriate pull down sequences required to displays images at a fixed frequency of 59.94 Hz (or 50Hz) at all capture frame rates. This mode minimizes display flicker but may exhibit 2:3 motion stutter on 24fps images.

Note: In Build 14 the LOOK menu i s not fully operational

Feb 07 2008 Copyright RED Digital Cinema

KEY MAP: this menu permits selected menus or functions to be mapped to camera keys.

At this time the Key-Map function can be used to enable or disable the Side Record, User-1 (Auto WB) and User-1 (Magnify) function keys. The default setting for each is Enabled.

GPI O: this menu permits selected menus or functions to be mapped to camera keys.

This menu permits the function of GPI A and B defined as either -

Record: triggers a normal video and audio record start / stop.

Burst: triggers a one shot or burst mode timelapse recording.

Ramp: triggers a variable frame rate ramp speed change.

For GPI A the factory default is Recor d and for GPI B factory default is B ur st.

Pola rity selects the Polarity sub-menu.

This menu permits the signal polarity of GPI A and B and GPO A and B to be defined as either – Active LO or Active HI. Selection is independent for each GPI input and GPO output.

For GPI signals Active LO is the default, which means the GPI command will be activated on a high to low edge of an external control pulse. Set to Active HI to use a low to high edge.

For GPO signals Active HI is the default, which means the GPO tally output will be high when in normal, burst or ramp record modes, and low when not. Set to Active LO to reverse this.

Maintenance

This sub-menu defines how the cooling fan behaves, and enables software updates.

Fan Sub Menu: specifies how the cooling fan operates.

The camera's fan speed can be changed depending on the ambient air temperature and recording application. The default setting is VARIABLE.

Vari able : This setting is most useful when the ambient temperatures is below 50°F/10°C. In variable mode, the fan runs at a continuously variable speed in both preview and record. At low ambient temperatures the fan will run at minimum speed. At higher ambient temperature, the fan will run at an increased speed to maintain the camera body within its operating temperature limits.

Hot: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is between 86°F/32°C and 104°F/40C. In hot mode, the fan runs at its maximum speed. Other camera cooling precautions may be necessary, such as shading the camera from sunlight and use of a cold gel pack.

Sta nd ard: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is below 86F/ 32C. In standard mode, the fan will run at half its maximum speed when in record.

Quiet: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is below 72°F/25°C. In quiet mode the fan runs at one quarter its maximum speed when in record.

Sile nt: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is below 60°F/15°C. In silent mode the fan runs at its minimum speed when in record.

Auto : This setting combines VARIABLE speed fan operation while not recording, with SILENT mode when in record. This mode is recommended for extended duration dialog recordings.

Black S ha ding: allows the camera to self-calibrate the sensor for optimum black levels.

10. Man aging Digi tal Media

The RED-ONE camera currently supports two types of media - compact flash and hard disk.

Compact Flash (CF) media requires an optional RED-FLASH (CF) module mounted to the left side of the camera body. Hard disk media is housed in a RED-DRIVE magazine mounted to the rear of the camera body and connected via a custom16 pin interface cable.

Com pact F lash (CF) - will be available in a variety of capacities, but at this time is fixed at 8GB. Depending on resolution and frame rate, each 8GB Compact Flash card will provide over 4 minutes of 4K 24fps RAW recording, or over 12 minutes of 2K 24fps RAW.

RED- DRI VE Me di a - will be available in a variety of capacities, but at this time is fixed at 320GB. Depending on resolution and frame rate, each 320GB RED-DRIVE will provide approximately 180 minutes of 4K 2:1 24fp RAW recording, or 720 minutes of 2K 24fps RAW.

During a recording the rear status screen, RED-EVF and RED-LCD monitors will display the % remaining media capacity. At 5% remaining capacity the media status box in the EVF or LCD will turn yellow, at 3% it will turn red. At 2% remaining the camera will cease recording. This reserves a small amount of capacity for ancillary data files to be written to the digital media.

Note: Media formatted on-camera will generate create a directory name in the format:

Camera Letter + Reel Number + Year + Month + Day. e.g. A001_070512 etc

Clips recorded to the media follow a similar naming convention e.g. A001_C001_07512 etc

Med ia For matt ing

Media must be formatted prior to using it for recording. At this time formatting must be done on the camera. Media may be pre-formatted (erased) on a Macintosh OS X or Windows XP personal computer, allowing the camera to add the necessary project format data.

For matting o n-ca mer a

i) Formatting a new Compact Flash card or RED-DRIVE magazine.

Insert the CF card with the manufacturer’s label facing outward (away from camera body). Press the CF firmly into the CF slot, but without excessive pressure. Or attach the RED=DRIVE magazine to the e-SATA port via the 16 pin e-SATA cable provided. The camera will recognize unformatted media and prompt with a message such as this -

Press the Joystick to confirm, or select Cancel to return to the main camera status display.

If the format operation is confirmed, the camera responds with the following message -

Formatting INTERNAL /EXTERNAL digital magazine

Once completed the following screen will appear.

Press the Joystick one last time to acknowledge the format process is complete and the camera will then clear the system menus from the monitor screens. Formatting a 8GB CF card takes about 10 seconds; formatting a 320GB RED-DRIVE magazine takes about 50 seconds.

Note: Media formatted on-camera will generate create a directory name in the format:

Camera Letter + Reel Number + Year + Month + Day. e.g. A001_070512 etc

Refo rma tt ing pr eviously us ed me di a

Re-formatting a previously used CF card or RED-DRIVE magazine follows a similar procedure, except that the camera provides the following modified warning.

Press the Joystick to confirm, or select Cancel to return to the main camera status display.

Eras ing med ia o n a M aci ntosh pe rso nal computer

On a Macintosh computer, connect the CF card via a CF card reader, or the RED-DRIVE via a FireWire 400 cable. Open the Disk Utility application, and then select the CF card or REDDRIVE.

Select the Erase tab and choose MS-DOS File System as the Volume Format. Add a Name if you wish, but this is optional. Before proceeding, double check that this is the CF card or REDDRIVE that you wish to erase, and then click on the Erase key. When the pop up window appears click on the Erase button

When the media is erased, drag its icon to the trashcan and physically disconnect it. When mounting erased media on the camera it will be treated as unformatted media and will follow the same formatting rules as described above.

Remo vi ng Me dia.

It is recommended that media is un-mounted prior to physical removal from the camera. This ensures that power is removed from the digital media and any open data files are closed.

Physical removal of the CF card or disconnecting the RED-DRIVE without first un-mounting it will not damage the media, but can increases the risk of file corruption, especially if data is being recorded. In addition, auxiliary metadata files cannot be written to the digital media.

To UNMOUNT the digital media follow this sequence.

- Press and hold the UNDO key and then press the EXIT key.

When the status indicator displays “Safe to Remove” and “ X ” as media status, it is safe to remove the CF card and/or disconnect the RED-DRIVE magazine.

The modest extra step of un-mounting the digital media helps recorded clips mount instantly in postproduction. Failing to unmount before removing the digital media will not damage the recorded clips themselves, but it can increase the risk of corrupting the clip index file.

Cop ying Med ia.

When copying media it is recommended that the entire contents of the digital magazine are copied to the storage media. This ensures that all appropriate media and data are copied.

Appendix A: Post Production.

RED workflow is quite easy to understand, especially if you have experience with photographic RAW image processing, or shoot film followed by telecine transfer to a non-linear video editor.

RAW data has a wide dynamic range and color space, so you can freely change the white point (white balance) of the footage, adjust exposure and alter highlight and shadow tonality when in post-production. This flexibility allows the camera operator to focus on composition.

The camera records unprocessed sensor data using REDCODE RAW compression to a CF card, or RED-DRIVE digital magazine. Data is then transferred from the digital media via FireWire or USB-2, to a Macintosh OSX workstation running RED ALERT! or REDCINE software, or a Windows XP workstation running REDCIINE software. If you are using CF media, copy the clips onto the workstation’s hard drive. If you are recording to a RED-DRIVE, it can be directly mounted as an external drive using FireWire if desired which eliminates the media copy step.

In film processing terms, RED ALERT! and REDCINE act as an integrated laboratory, telecine, and one light color corrector. They convert recorded REDCODE RAW data to RGB video, and provide basic one light image processing and color correction. Using REDCINE, footage can also be cropped, resized, or repositioned. These functions lessen the amount of time required for color correction or re-framing of shots after the final cut has been completed.

RED ALERT! can generate QuickTime reference movies suitable for use in dailies applications, and export a sequence of 2K or 4K resolution RGB image files as TIFF or DPX files for DI use.

REDCINE can also encode 4K or 2K RAW footage into a variety of uncompressed RGB and compressed 4:2:2 video formats. Provided the appropriate QuickTime codec’s are available on the host computer workstation, compressed video choices include ProRes, DNxHD, DV100 and M-JPEG QuickTime movies at 1080p or 720p resolution. For film out, multi-media or special effects applications, REDCINE may export a sequence of 2K or 4K image files in TIFF, Open EXR, DPX, JPEG, or Photoshop PSD file formats.

Creating 4:2:2 at 1080p or 720p resolution QuickTime movies provides compatibility with the majority of non-linear editing systems. Depending on the QuickTime movie resolution, material may be taken directly to a broadcast delivery videotape format, or after the editorial decisions have been made, video can be conformed at full image resolution by replacing the lower resolution edit proxy (e.g. 720p at 8 bit quality) with a high resolution 4K, 2K or 1080p image file.

Color grading may be performed during editing or after the final conform. The graded show is then output to delivery media: film, a DCDM (digital cinema distribution master), or HD master.

Software Tools

RED Digital Cinema provides a variety of software tools to aid postproduction. For proper color rendition using a Macintosh OSX computer, your monitor should be set to Adobe 1998, or to SMPTE-C display profile. If you use the HD Cinema display profile, adjust the gamma to 2.2.

REDCODE RAW QuickTime Co mp onent

The REDCODE RAW QuickTime component permits REDCODE RAW footage to be displayed on Macintosh OSX or Windows XP personal computers with QuickTime Player V7.0 or higher.

QuickTime player

The render performance of computers will vary based on CPU speed, number of cores and disk speed. Therefore the RED ONE camera RED ALERT! and REDCINE offer QuickTime reference movies at _H high 2048 x 1152, _M medium 1024 x 576, and _P proxy 512 x 288 resolutions for 4K and 4K 2:1 RAW recordings, and _H high 1024 x 576, _M medium 512 x 288 and _P proxy 256 x 144 resolutions for 2K and 2K 2:1RAW recordings.

Choose the resolution that is most appropriate to your requirement for resolution or playback frame rate on your specific computer. If the footage is to be viewed at distant location – e.g. dailies - export the footage as a standalone movie using MPEG-4 or other low bit rate codec.

Note: The QuickTime reference movies work by partially decoding the wavelet data, which means that the original 4K or 2K REDCODE RAW recording must be available on a drive accessible to your computer. For remote use, conversion to a standalone movie avoids this issue.

RED A LE RT!

The RED ALERT application performs white balance and one light color correction and exports 4K and 2K resolution 10 bit DPX and 16 bit TIFF files. RED ALERT also creates color corrected QuickTime reference movies for playback in other applications, such as QuickTime Player, that use the REDCODE RAW QuickTime component described above.

The upper panel in the display provides information about the video levels in the selected clip. Exposure and White Balance may be altered, R G and B digital values may be sampled from the image, and a Zebra exposure indicator can be selected – the default value is set at 95%

A composite RGB histogram may be selected which appears below the main display area. This provides an interactive view of the exposure distribution for each of the R G B channels.

A one light color correction panel permits adjustment of Color Temperature, Saturation, Contrast, Brightness, R Gain, G Gain and B Gain. These parameters match those available in the RED-ONE camera. The range and resolution of these parameters may be greater than those available in the camera UI. This reflects the desirability for greater range and precision for the controls in post-production than are required for monitoring in image capture.

RED ALERT! reads the camera metadata recorded for each parameter. Individual values can be changed by dragging the slider, or by entering a new numeric value in the box. Clicking R will reset the value back to its default setting. Clicking M will restore the recorded metadata value. R ALL or M ALL will affect all parameters, GRADE will revert all values back to those last used in your color grade.

Presets are available to establish a consistent “look” across multiple clips, or alternative color treatments may be made to the same clip. In future, looks may be shared with the camera.

The image may be displayed using REC 709, linear or a variety of log color space. If Matrix is unchecked and display is set to Linear, the data that is drawn on screen represents the native linear response of Mysterium™ without any color processing or gamma correction applied. For most television applications, select REC 709. For special effects, use Linear. For D.I use a Log.

The timeline controls permit the user to play selected clips and mark an IN and an OUT points, between which the TIFF or DPX file sequence will be extracted. When creating any QuickTime reference movies the entire clip will be referenced, as trimming will be performed downstream. If a single frame is to be exported, press Save 4K or 2K DPX, or 4K or 2K TIFF. If a sequence of frames is desired, press Save Sequence 4K or 2K DPX, or 4K or 2K TIFF.
