EJECT MEDIA FROM CAMERA (UNMOUNT)

IMPORTANT: To ensure data integrity, media must always be unmounted prior to removal from the camera. This
ensures that power is removed from the digital media and any open data files are closed. Failure to properly unmount media may result in lost data or corrupted files.
Removing an SSD without first unmounting it will not physically damage the media, however it does increase the risk of file corruption, so it’s good operational practice to unmount the media if possible before removing or disconnecting. Unmounting the digital media takes a few seconds, protects the integrity of your recorded data, and helps clips mount instantly to your workstation in post-production.
NOTE: Improper removal of media without first unmounting the SSD will result in a warning notification: “Media removed without first ejecting. Data integrity risk.” Always unmount media before physically removing the disk to protect your media and footage.
To eject media, follow the instructions below:
1. Eject the media using one of the following modules:
REDMOTE/Touchscreen LCD: Go to Menu > Media > Eject Media. DSMC SIDE HANDLE: Press User Key 7 (lowest of the system keys). The default function for this key is Eject
Media; however, you can remap this key.
Side media module: Press User Key 1 + 2. The default function for this key combination is Eject Media;
however, you can remap this key combination.
When media is ejected, Viewfinder output(s) display “Media ejected successfully. It is now safe to remove media”.
2. Remove media from the camera.

RED DSMC MEDIA OPERATION GUIDE
FORMAT

MEDIA

OVERVIEW

The DSMC records REDCODE RAW compressed MOTION clips and STILL images, time code, multi-channel audio, and metadata to RED MINI-MAGS and REDMAG 1.8" SSDS.
Record duration depends on resolution, REDCODE, and frame rate. A 64GB REDMAG 1.8" SSD typically pro­vides 24 minutes of 24 FPS 5K RAW recording.
Each clip is recorded with a unique name in a clip folder with the extension .RDC. This folder contains all ap­propriate information describing the clip, including one or more REDCODE RAW .R3D files and all color grading metadata and other system level metadata such as lens and location information.
The individual clip folders are placed in a folder (root directory) on the digital media. This folder has the exten­sion .RDM. Since the .RDM folder contains all the recorded clips, you can copy all clips from the SSD to other media by simply copying the .RDM folder.
IMPORTANT: After connecting a RED MINI-MAG or REDMAG 1.8" SSD to the camera and BEFORE recording, format the SSD using the camera (even if formatting was previously performed on a computer).

FORMAT (ERASE) MEDIA IN-CAMERA

You must format your SSD (media) before recording to it. Formatting is performed in-camera, although media may be erased on a computer, allowing the camera to just add the necessary project profile and clip log data.
Media formatted in-camera uses a name and root volume in the format:
 Camera Letter + Reel Number + Month + Day + **, where ** represents two random alphanumeric charac-
ters generated by the camera to prevent any possibility of duplicate names being created. For example: A001_0512A6.RDM.
IMPORTANT: Media must always be unmounted prior to removal from the camera. This ensures that power is re­moved from the digital media and any open data files are closed. Failure to properly unmount media may result in lost data or corrupted files.

FORMAT MEDIA

IMPORTANT: Ensure that data is backed up before formatting media, since formatting erases all data on the SSD.
1. Insert the REDMAG 1.8" SSD or RED MINI-MAG into the media slot on a media module. Ensure that the
RED logo is facing outward (away from camera body). Insert the SSD firmly into its slot, but without using excessive force to prevent damage.
NOTE: When fully inserted, the SSD protrudes slightly from the SSD slot.
2. When an SSD is inserted into the camera, the camera recognizes if the media is unformatted:
LCD, EVF and external monitors: The word “NONE” displays twice (when no media is present, “NONE ---”
displays).
REDMOTE: The word “NONE” displays twice (when no media is present, “NONE ---” displays). DSMC SIDE HANDLE: The message “NA” displays (when no media present, also displays “NA”).
3. Go to Menu > Media.

RED DSMC MEDIA OPERATION GUIDE
4. Select an option from the Select Media drop-down menu.
5. Select Format Media.
6. Select the following options to add camera identity information and 3D position properties:
Reel No: Select a value in the range 1–999. Cam ID: Select a letter in the range A-Z to identify the camera. Cam Pos: Identify the camera position as Right, Left, or Center. Default is Center. Edge Timecode Start: Manually enter an Edge Timecode Start value (seldom used).
7. Select Format. (The Format button also displays the number of clips that will be deleted during formatting,
if any clips are on the SSD).
8. A dialog box displays and warns you that all clips will be deleted during formatting. Select Format to con-
tinue. Formatting takes about 10 seconds. Once formatting is complete, the Viewfinder output(s) display the fol-
lowing message: “The media was successfully re-formatted and is ready for immediate use”.

RED DSMC MEDIA OPERATION GUIDE

SECURE FORMAT MEDIA

IMPORTANT: Ensure that data is backed up before formatting media, since formatting erases all data on the SSD.
Secure format is a low-level format that rebuilds the SSD file system. It should only be used if the performance of the SSD is in question.
To perform a secure format, follow the instructions below:
1. Go to Menu > Media > Utils.
2. Select Secure Format.
3. Continue to format the media as you would for a normal media format. For more information, go to “Format
Media” on page 36.

FORMAT (ERASE) MEDIA VIA COMPUTER

RED recommends that you only format your SSD via computer if the SSD cannot mount to the camera. NOTE: If the media was formatted using a secure format, you cannot format the media using an external source.
You must format the media in-camera. For more information on formatting the media in-camera, go to “Format
(Erase) Media In-Camera” on page 36.

FORMAT MEDIA (MACINTOSH OS X)

NOTE: A Mac can format an SSD as MS-DOS (FAT) only when the SSD is already formatted as FAT32 or MS-
DOS (FAT). IMPORTANT: Ensure that data is backed up before formatting media, since formatting erases all data on the SSD.
1. Connect the RED MINI-MAG or REDMAG 1.8" SSD to your computer. For more information, go to “Offload
Media” on page 42.
2. Open the Disk Utility.
3. Select the drive.
4. Click the Erase tab.
5. Select MS-DOS (FAT) from the Volume Format drop-down menu.
NOTE: The camera will overwrite any name that you add to the SSD. IMPORTANT: Before performing the next step, double-check that this is the correct SSD from which you want
to erase data.

CLIP NAMING CONVENTIONS

When you record a clip, the camera creates a unique name for the clip folder that uses the format described in the table below:
NAME DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
Camera Letter Menu > Media > Format Media > Cam ID A Reel Number Menu > Media > Format Media > Reel ID 004 Clip Number The clip number increments by 1 C001 Month Month that the clip is recorded 12 Day Day that the clip is recorded 23 Two Characters Two random alphanumeric characters generated by the camera to prevent
any possibility of duplicate names being created
RDC Clip folder extension RDC For example, a sequence of clip folders within a media folder on Camera A may look like this:
 A001_C001_05026M.RDC  A001_C002_0502CE.RDC  A001_C003_0502R5.RDC
6M

MULTI CAMERA SHOOTS

The scheme provides flexibility to uniquely identify clips from different cameras on a multi-camera shoot. For example, three cameras, slated as camera A, camera B, and camera C respectively, can generate these easily recognizable clips on their respective SSDs:
 A001_C001_0502**.RDC  B001_C001_0502**.RDC  C001_C001_0502**.RDC

3D (STEREO) CAMERA SHOOTS

The scheme also allows unique identification of clips from left and right eye cameras on a stereo shoot. For example, two cameras, both slated as Camera S, can generate these easily recognizable clips on their respec­tive SSDs:
 S001_L001_0502**.RDC  S001_R001_0502**.RDC

METADATA

The following metadata is recorded for each frame of each clip:
 Clip Name  Time Code  Date and GMT  Lens and Shutter Speed/Angle Parameters  Audio Configuration  Firmware Version Number

RED DSMC MEDIA OPERATION GUIDE
REDCODE
B
The tables in this appendix describe the maximum available REDCODE compression ratio for each format and frame rate combination.
Except where noted, the REDCODE values in this appendix are based on DSMC firmware v5.1.51. The number in each body cell refers to the number to the left of the colon in the REDCODE compression ratio
(the “x” of “x:1”). For example: With a RED EPIC DRAGON and a RED MINI-MAG, when your project format is 5K and your capture frame rate is 24 FPS, the maximum available REDCODE compression ratio is 3:1.
NOTE: The REDCODE values in this appendix do not apply when Sensor Sync Mode (Menu > Settings > Setup > GPIO/Sync) is set to MoCo. When using MoCo, you must set the frame rate to be at least two times (2x) the fastest trigger rate used. A high frame rate usually increases the compression, but when you’re using MoCo, REDCODE is calculated based on FPS/2. Therefore, if you are in MoCo mode, and you set the frame rate to
100.83 FPS, the maximum REDCODE is calculated based on a frame rate of 50.415 FPS.
