RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE

955-0020_V5.3, REV-J | 56

Green: Analog timecode is used to jam the time of day time code.

For more information, go to

“Timecode, Genlock, Multi-Camera Setup” on page 150

.

GEN INDICATOR

Then GEN indicator shows the current genlock status.

Gray: No genlock signal is detected, or the signal cannot cross-lock to project (24.00 FPS vs. 23.98 FPS).

Red: During process of sync, or genlock is lost while recording.

Green: A genlock signal matching the current HD-SDI monitor rate is locked.

Yellow: Timing is cross-locked to compatible but not matching monitor rate. For example, genlock is 24.00

FPS, and HD-SDI monitor rate is 25.00 FPS.
NOTE: When the GEN indicator is yellow, DO NOT perform 3D operation. This warns that genlock source

settings and camera settings are not aligned, so phasing of the sync between cameras is not guaranteed.

For more information, go to

“Timecode, Genlock, Multi-Camera Setup” on page 150

.

SYNC INDICATOR

The SYNC indicator shows the current sensor sync status, based on genlock.

Gray: The sensor sync mode is not set to genlock.

Red: The sensor sync mode is set to genlock, but is not locked to a genlock signal. This may occur if

genlock or sensor sync is lost while recording.

Green: The sensor sync mode and HD-SDI monitor rate are locked to a compatible genlock signal.

For more information, go to

“Timecode, Genlock, Multi-Camera Setup” on page 150

.

LAN INDICATOR

The LAN indicator shows the current status of an external LAN connection through the Gig-E port.

Gray: External control of the camera is not enabled.

Yellow: If the LAN indicator is yellow, external camera control is not possible. For more information, go to

“Cannot Control Camera Externally” on page 169

.

POWER STATUS

The Power Status element displays the current supply voltage or remaining battery capacity. Tap the Power

Status element to access the Power menu. For more information, go to

“Power Menu” on page 120

.

DC IN SUPPLY VOLTAGE

When powering the DSMC via DC power, the current voltage displays. When powering the DSMC using batteries,

the remaining battery capacity displays. The remaining capacity is indicated by the following colors:

Green: 12.0 V and up

Yellow: 11.8 V to 11.9 V

Red: 11.6 V to 11.7 V

NOTE: The BRAIN automatically turns off if supply voltage drops to 11.5 V or lower.

BATTERY TIME REMAINING

When using a REDVOLT or REDVOLT XL battery, the power status displays the location of the power source

(example: SH: DSMC Side Handle; RM: Rear Module) and the remaining battery capacity. When using a RED

BRICK battery connected to DC IN, the power status displays BRICK and the remaining battery capacity.
The color of the displayed battery capacity represents the amount of time remaining:

Green: >10 minutes
