READ BEFORE YOU SHOOT

Read this operation guide carefully and in its entirety before assembling or operating your camera or other RED accessories. In addition to this document, RED offers the following operation guides for the camera system:
DSMC Power Operation Guide DSMC Media Operation Guide
To download RED operation guides, go to RED Downloads at www.red.com/downloads.

R3D FILE FORMAT AND REDCODE

All videos and frames are recorded to the R3D® file format. 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139.

SHOOT FOR VIDEO AND STILLS

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

POST PRODUCTION

NOTE: Third-party applications may have limited compatibility with R3D files. Third-party developers must use the
most recent R3D SDK to offer compatibility with the latest RED firmware. Many non-linear editing systems (NLEs) can open and edit RED footage. Each NLE version may have specific
compatibility requirements, such as camera firmware version or camera type. Before shooting, check all compatibility requirements.
The following programs can be used to open and/or edit R3D files:
REDCINE-X PRO: RED's proprietary NLE. Download REDCINE-X PRO from www.red.com/downloads. Adobe Photoshop: Can open .R3D files. Requires you to download the RED Adobe Photoshop Installer from
www.red.com/downloads.
Adobe Premiere Pro: For more information on compatibility, go to the RED Support site at
https://support.red.com.
Avid Media Composer
DaVinci Resolve
Edius Pro Final Cut Pro 7: Requires you to download the RED Apple Workflow Installer from www.red.com/downloads. Final Cut Pro X: Requires you to download the RED Apple Workflow Installer from www.red.com/downloads.
Vegas Pro

POST PRODUCTION WITH REDCINE-X PRO

REDCINE-X PRO is a professional one-light coloring toolset, equipped with an integrated timeline and a post effects software collection that provides the ideal environment to review recorded footage, edit metadata, organize projects, and prepare your R3D files. Use either REDCINE-X PRO or a compatible third-party non-linear editing (NLE) application to edit R3D files.

HDRX AND MAGIC MOTION

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 (X­track) with an exposure value that reflects the additional stops of highlight protection. These tracks are “motion­conjoined” 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.

APERTURE
The aperture (also known as the T stop or F stop) parameter displays when a compatible mount and lens are installed.
The aperture controls the depth of field of the image and, in combination with the shutter speed/angle setting, controls
the amount of light that reaches the sensor (exposure).
Increasing the aperture to a higher number increases the depth of field, but reduces the exposure (brightness). Decreasing the aperture to a lower number decreases the depth of field, but increases the exposure (brightness).
RED DSMC PL MOUNT INSTALLED
The current aperture of the attached lens displays when a DSMC® PL mount is installed and a supported lens
equipped with Cooke® S4/i® system is attached.
DSMC NIKON MOUNT AND CANON MOUNT INSTALLED
The Aperture menu is visible when a DSMC Nikon® Mount, DSMC Canon® Mount, or DSMC RED® MOTION MOUNT
S35 Ti Canon (Captive) is installed and a supported lens is attached. This enables you to adjust the aperture of the

REDCODE
Select the target REDCODE compression ratio for your project.
If the camera is able to achieve the target compression ratio, the compression ratio displays in white. If the camera is
unable to achieve the target compression ratio, the compression ratio displays in yellow, and the camera uses the next
possible compression ratio.
The current compression ratio is automatically recalculated when changes are made to the project resolution, aspect
ratio, anamorphic setting, frame rate, HDRX® mode, media, or the target REDCODE compression ratio.
The RECODE compression affects the overall quality of the footage. A lower compression (for example: 2:1) increases
the quality of the footage, while a higher compression (for example: 22:1) lowers the quality.
For more information, go to "R3D File Format and REDCODE" on page11.
MYSTERIUM-X: Range is 3:1 to 18:1. Default is 8:1. RED DRAGON: Range is 2:1 to 22:1. Default is 8:1.

EXPOSURE
The Exposure tool displays a color overlay on top of a desaturated image that allows you to check for proper
exposure. When enabled, the “E√” indicator displays in the Lower Status Row.
The Exposure meter colors indicate the following information:
Purple: Underexposed; indicates sensor exposure levels that may be noisy if gained up in post production. Green: IRE 41–48; based on the RGB levels of the video out signal and not the RAW data. Red: Overexposed; indicates sensor exposure levels that are clipping.
Purple (underexposure) and red (overexposure) are based on RAW data and show areas that are clipping or close to
clipping. The RGB settings DO NOT affect the Exposure indicators.
VIDEO
The Video tool displays a color overlay that indicates the video level of the RGB monitor path (calibrated to the
SMPTE test signal). When enabled, the “V√” indicator displays in the Lower Status Row.
Colors are based on the RGB levels of the video out signal (that is, the “cooked” look, and not RAW data). The RGB
settings affect the Video indicators.
The Video indicators represent the following IRE values (at all other values, the desaturated image represents the
luminance value of the ISO adjusted image):
Purple: IRE 0–4 Blue: IRE 5 Teal: IRE 10–12 Green: IRE 41–48 Pink: IRE 61–70 Straw: IRE 92–93 Yellow: IRE 94–95 Orange: IRE 96–98 Red: IRE 99–100
FOCUS
The Focus tool emphasizes contrast and edges in the image without changing brightness or image content making it
easier to judge focus. Adjust zoom and focus to easily see which objects are coming into focus.
When enabled, the “F√” indicator displays in the Lower Status Row.
EDGE
Shows the edges/outlines of objects that are in focus. When enabled, the “F√” indicator displays in the Lower Status
Row.
NOTE: The Edge setting may interfere with recordings done via HDMI or HD-SDI in Clean mode.

GIO SCOPE
Displays a color overlay on top of a desaturated image, identifying 16 increments within the dynamic range of the
sensor.
On cameras with the MYSTERIUM-X® sensor, you can still select up to 16 increments. However, the camera will not
detect the top and bottom increments.
When enabled, the “G√” indicator displays in the Lower Status Row. The Gio Scope indicators are based on RAW
data. The RGB settings (settings in the Look menu) DO NOT affect the indicators.
Each number indicates a different increment of dynamic range.
11: Represents mid-grey. 16: Represents the top increment, and is broken up into 1/8th sub-increments to show highlight roll-off. Each 1/8th
increment is represented by a different shade of red, ranging from light red (less light) to dark red (most light).
DISPLAY MODES
MAGNIFY
The Magnify tool displays the central region of the sensor in 1:1 pixel resolution on an attached monitor. When
enabled, the 1:1 text in the Lower Status Row turns green, and the AF Window and the magnified region display. The
AF Window determines the center point of the magnified region. If the lens or lens mount is not capable of autofocus
with the camera, use Confirm mode to turn on the AF Window. Sharpening is disabled when Magnify mode is
enabled. The camera automatically exits Magnify mode when recording begins.
The Magnify tool magnifies a 1920 x 1020 region, centered on a 1920 x 1080 display. If the resolution is lower than
1920 x 1020, the image border cannot be magnified. Use the following equations to determine the area of the image
border that will not be magnified:
Border width: (1920 – W) / 2 Border height: (1020 – H) / 2
NOTE: Frame rate and resolution cannot be modified in Magnify mode.
RAW
When enabled, the camera displays images unaffected by the RGB settings (settings in the Look menu). RAW affects
the video recorded via HDMI or HD-SDI to an external recorder. RAW image parameters DO NOT affect image
metadata; the parameters only affect the monitor output.
The RAW image parameters are:
Color Space: REDcolor2 Gamma Space: REDlogFilm White Balance: 5600K ISO: 800 ISO Tint: 0 Tint
NOTE: In RAW mode, the following controls are disabled on all cameras: color temperature, tint, saturation, RGB
gains, ISO, contrast, brightness, shadow, FLUT®, exposure compensation, LGG controls, RGB curves, and luma
curve.

PRIORITY
Figure: Priority
The camera can only have one (1) control monitor for interacting with camera settings. The Priority tab determines the order in which a monitor becomes the control monitor. If you plan on removing or adding monitors during a shoot, set up the priority list ahead of time.
For a monitor to become the control monitor, the following must occur:
The monitor must be set to Overlay mode in the Monitor Control menu. Each monitor that has higher priority on the list must be either detached or not set to Overlay mode.
EXAMPLE
By default, the monitor priority is: 1. BRAIN LCD 2. BRAIN EVF 3. BRAIN HDMI
If you remove an LCD when an EVF is attached, then the EVF becomes the control monitor. If you then remove the
EVF when an HDMI monitor is attached, the HDMI monitor becomes the control monitor. If you then re-attach the LCD,
then the LCD is the control monitor again.

LOOK
The Look menu includes: Color, Gain, ISO/FLUT, Sharpness, Curves, Video, Color Temperature, and LGG (Lift,
Gamma, Gain).
The Look settings affect the look of the monitor path, but do not affect the recorded RAW data.
COLOR
NOTE: Saturation is disabled on Monochrome cameras.
Saturation: Adjusts color saturation. Range is 0.0 (monochrome) to 4.0 (super color). Default is 1.0. Contrast: Adjusts the overall contrast of the image. Range is –1.0 (flat) to 1.0 (max contrast). Default is 0.0. Brightness: Adjusts brightness without crushing highlights. Available range is –10.0 to 10.0. Default is 0.0. Exp Comp: Adjusts exposure compensation. Available range is –7.0 to 7.0. Default is 0.0.
GAIN
Adjust the red channel, blue channel, and green channel individually. The range for each is 0.0 (none of the color) to

ISO/FLUT
Use the ISO/FLUT menu to adjust ISO, FLUT®, and Shadow. For more information, see the following articles:
Exposure with RED Cameras: Strategy, available at www.red.com/learn/red-101/exposure-with-red-cameras ISO Speed Revisited, available at www.red.com/learn/red-101/iso-speed-revisited
ISO
NOTE: To see the full range of ISO ratings, select ISO in the Upper Status Row, select Edit List, and select Custom.
NOTE: The default for Monochrome cameras is ISO 2000.
Select the camera ISO rating. The sensitivity value increments in 1/3 stops. When the ISO rating is adjusted, the
camera logs the change as metadata and the monitor path reacts accordingly. Higher ISO values lead to brighter
images in the monitor path, and vice versa.
RED recommends setting the ISO to the default, then adjusting the aperture, lighting, and ND filters to match. The ISO
can later be adjusted around one (1) stop for fine-tuning.
Range is ISO 250 to 12,800. Default is ISO 800.
FLUT
Floating Point Lookup Table (FLUT) is an exposure control exclusive to RED. FLUT works like a traditional ISO
setting, but can be fine-tuned in post production to any level of exposure precision. FLUT automatically protects
highlights and shadows, even when changed substantially.
The FLUT setting is expressed in terms of relative exposure value (EV), where each unit represents a 1-stop change in
midtone exposure level. Range is –8.0 to 8.0. Default is 0.0.
SHADOW
Shadow adjusts the toe value of the FLUT (the tone near black). Increasing the Shadow value raises the video level of
near blacks. Lowering the Shadow value crushes the video level of near blacks. Range is –2.0 to 2.0. Default is 0.0.

image.
NOTE: The sharpness setting affects the Histogram, RAW Level Bars, RAW Clip Meter, and false color modes. For
more information, go to "Histogram" on page62 and "False Color Modes" on page76.
CURVES
NOTE: Luma is the only channel on Monochrome cameras.
Define the individual curves for the luma, red, green, and blue channels. You can only adjust one (1) curve at a time.
Select Reset Curve to reset a curve.
VIDEO
Use the Video menus to adjust the color space and gamma space for the monitor outputs. All settings in the Video
menus affect metadata only, and can be changed in REDCINE-X PRO®.
NOTE: Selecting options in the Video menu may make the menu lighter or darker. The camera applies the color and
gamma spaces after rendering the user interface, so changing these settings affects the user interface.
NOTE: RED recommends using the most recent Color Space and Graded Gamma settings. Use legacy settings (such
as REDcolor2) only if you need to record footage to match footage recorded with that legacy setting.

COLOR TEMPERATURE
NOTE: Color temperature is disabled on Monochrome cameras.
Select a color temperature. The range is 1700 to 10,000 KELVIN, and the default is 5600 KELVIN.
TINT
NOTE: Tint is disabled on Monochrome cameras.
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 adjusts the RGB color balance with a
compensating magenta-green color component. Tint range is –100 to 100, with a default of 0.000.
The Tint value displays as a rounded number in the Upper Status Row.
NOTE: Selecting Auto White Balance calculates a new Tint value. The value does not change if you adjust the color
temperature manually. Selecting a preset resets the Tint to 0.000.

PROJECT
The Project menu includes settings that define the recorded file, including recording frame rate, exposure, and format.
FRAME RATE
RECORDING FRAME RATE
Select the recording frame rate (also referred to as the capture frame rate). The recording frame rate is the number of
frames per second (fps) that are recorded. The recording frame rate is different from the project time base, which is the
rate at which the footage will be played back.
The default recording frame rate is 23.98 fps. If you change the project time base, the recording frame rate
automatically changes its value to match the project time base.
The maximum frame rate for each format is determined by several factors, including project time base, REDCODE, and
Lookaround.
For more information about the maximum REDCODE settings for each common recording frame rate, see the DSMC
Media Operation Guide, available at www.red.com/downloads.

Page 94
PROJECT TIME BASE
Select the project time base. The project time base is the rate at which the footage will be played back. The project
time base displays in the lower left corner of the display.
The following project time bases are available:
23.98 fps (Default)
24.00 fps
25.00 fps
29.97 fps
47.95 fps
48.00 fps
50.00 fps
59.94 fps
VARISPEED
When a recording frame rate other than the current project time base is selected, the fps text turns yellow and the word
Varispeed replaces the Audio Meter in the lower right corner of the display.
Audio is not recorded in Varispeed mode.
EXPOSURE/SHUTTER
Select the exposure (shutter speed / shutter angle) of each frame. You can change exposure while recording.
Decreasing shutter speed increases the amount of time that light hits the sensor, which increases exposure and motion
blur of moving objects. Increasing shutter speed decreases the amount of time that light hits the sensor, which
decreases exposure and motion blur of moving objects.
The Upper Status Row displays the exposure as either shutter speed or shutter angle. For more information, go to
"Exposure" on page86.
If the camera is able to achieve the target exposure, the exposure value displays in white. If the camera is unable to
achieve the target exposure, the exposure value displays in yellow, and the camera uses the closest available
exposure.
NOTE: If using speed ramp mode, select an exposure that is valid for each ramp target frame rate. If the camera ramps
to a frame rate that is incompatible with the current exposure, the exposure changes to the longest exposure possible
for the frame rate. For more information, go to "Speed Ramp Mode" on page106.
NOTE: You cannot change the exposure when HDR is enabled.
INTEGRATION TIME
Enter the exposure value as a shutter speed (1/xx sec).
The slowest shutter speed is 1/(recording frame rate). For example, if the recording frame rate is 24 fps, the slowest
available shutter speed is 1/24 sec. The fastest shutter speed is 1/131,579 sec. The default shutter speed is 1/48 sec.
SHUTTER ANGLE
Enter the exposure value as a shutter angle (xx°). The shutter angle range is 1.000° to 360.000°. The default shutter
angle is 180.000°.

EXPOSURE CONVERSIONS
The table below lists common shutter speed and shutter angle equivalents. The calculations in the table use a
recording frame rate of 24 fps.
SHUTTER SPEED (1/XX SEC) SHUTTER ANGLE (°) SHUTTER SPEED (1/XX SEC) SHUTTER ANGLE (°)
1/32 270 1/120 72
1/48 180 1/192 45
1/50 172.8 1/384 22.5
1/60 144 1/696 12.4
1/96 90 1/1000 8.6
CONVERT SHUTTER SPEED TO SHUTTER ANGLE
Shutter Angle = (Shutter Speed x Frame Rate x 360)
Example: (1/48 x 24 x 360) = 180
CONVERT SHUTTER ANGLE TO SHUTTER SPEED
Shutter Speed = 1/(Frame Rate x 360/Angle)
Example: 1/(24 x 360/180) = 1/48
TIMECODE
RED cameras use non-drop frame timecode. For more information about timecode, go to "Timecode, Genlock, Multi-
Camera Setup" on page165.
TIMECODE DISPLAY MODE
Time of Day (TOD): Displays the time of day (HH:MM:SS:FF). TOD timecode runs continuously and is not affected
by recording. TOD timecode can be synchronized with the Real-Time Clock (RTC) in the camera. Edge: Edge timecode is continuous between clips, meaning that when recording starts, timecode begins. and
when recording stops, timecode stops. By default, Edge timecode default begins at 01:00:00:00, but can be configured in the Media menu when formatting an SSD.
TIMECODE SOURCE
User Provided: Allows you to select one of the following:
Use RTC Time: Uses the internal Real Time Clock as the timecode counter source. You can set the hours,
minutes, and seconds in the numerical boxes on the screen. Set Manually: Define a custom value as the timecode counter seed. Set the hours, minutes, and seconds in the
numerical boxes on the screen.
External: BRAIN: Uses the timecode from an external device connected to the timecode connector on the camera. External: Rear Module: Uses the timecode from an external device connected to a Pro I/O Module or a
REDCAST Module.

LTC OUT
The LTC Out (linear timecode out) check box is only available when a Pro I/O Module is attached. Select the LTC Out
check box to output the linear timecode signal generated by the camera through the timecode (TCODE) port on the
Pro I/O Module.
NOTE: If jamming camera timecode to a timecode device, ensure that LTC Out is disabled.
SLATE
Use the Slate menu to add metadata to clips. After configuring the following fields, the information populates in the
Media menu when formatting media:
Camera ID Camera Position
NOTE: The scene name is limited to eight (8) characters.
AUTO-INCREMENT TAKE
To automatically increment the take number when the camera stops recording, follow the instructions below: 1.
Go to Menu > Settings > Project > Slate > Scene.
2.
Enter a value in the Take box.
AUTO SLATE

FORMAT
Use the Format menu to select the resolution, aspect ratio, anamorphic setting, and Lookaround setting.
To access the Format menu, go to Menu > Settings > Project > Format.
The available aspect ratios are determined by the selected resolution.
After selecting format settings, select Set Format.
When you lower the resolution on a camera, only a portion of the sensor is used. The camera does not downscale
from full format when recording RAW.
EPIC DRAGON FORMATS
The table below describes the formats that are available for EPIC DRAGON.
Default for EPIC DRAGON is 6K 2:1.
The table below omits rows for the anamorphic formats, since the pixel dimensions for each anamorphic format and
the corresponding non-anamorphic format are the same. For more information, go to "Anamorphic" on page101.
Using a 6:5 aspect ratio at 2x anamorphic gives you a 2.4:1 aspect ratio.
