MULTI-CAMERA CLIP NAMING CONVENTIONS
This section describes automatic camera-generated clip naming conventions based on slate settings. Cameras
use the Reel No, Cam ID, and Cam Pos settings to generate a custom clip name.
For example, if you have two (2) cameras in Master/Slave configuration and format media on both cameras with
the following settings:
CAMERA
REEL NO
CAM ID
CAM POS
Master
1
S
Left
Slave
1
S
Right
The first clip recorded by this Master/Slave camera configuration is:
Master: S001_L001_0503B6.R3D
Slave: S001_R001_0503R7.R3D
NOTE: B6 and R7 are examples of camera-generated wildcard characters.
NOTE: If both camera settings are on left on the default, recorded clips will have the same filename structure.
The only exception is the camera-generated wildcard characters. For example:
Master: A001_C001_0503B6.R3D
Slave: A001_C001_0503R7.R3D
NOTE: Reel No, Cam ID, and Cam Pos can be set when formatting media at Menu > Media.
SET UP STEREO/3D CONFIGURATION
This section describes basic procedures for connecting two (2) DSMC BRAINs in a Master/Slave configuration
for 3D operation.
NOTE: When providing the signals to a Stereo Image Processor (SiP) for verifying 3D alignment, set the HD-SDI
monitor output on both cameras to have the same overlay configuration.
NOTE: For genlock to function correctly, the cameras must be on the same firmware version, and must be using
the same project time base and sensor frame rate.
To set up a Stereo/3D setup, follow the instructions below.
1. On both cameras, set the desired project time base and sensor frame rate.
2. On both cameras, follow the instructions in
to achieve Sensor Sync genlock
status.
The GEN and SYNC indicators in the Lower Status Row illuminate green.
3. Follow the instructions in
“Set Up Master/Slave Operation” on page 155
to set Master and Slave camera
settings.
4. On both cameras, follow the instructions in
“Set Reel Number, Camera ID, and Camera Position” on page
to prepare media and camera settings.
