OPTIONS
MENU key returns to settings menu: Pressing the Menu key on a side module or REDMOTE moves you up one
level in the menu tree.
Lock Side Module keys: None of the module keys perform any actions when pressed, unless you set up the
exceptions below:
‒ Record key remains active when locked
‒ Navigation keys remain active when locked
Show key action notifications: A notification displays on the bottom of the display when you perform an
action mapped to a key.
SOFT KEYS
The following sets of soft keys are available on the touchscreen:
A, B, C, D: Left side of the touchscreen
1, 2, 3, 4: Right side of the touchscreen
To map or remap a soft key, select an action from the drop-down menu next to the key you want to map.
Enable Soft Keys on touchscreen: Tap the left or right side of the touchscreen to show the soft keys.
Show key actions as labels: When the soft keys display, the number/letter of the key and the key action
display.
ADVANCED
Use the Advanced tab to map any key, even if the key is not currently accessible. For example, you can map
the REDMOTE keys even if a REDMOTE is not present.
WARNING: It is possible to remap the navigation keys using this tab. However, if you don’t have a touchscreen
attached, it is possible to lock out control. Be careful when remapping navigation keys.
DATE/TIME
Use the Date/Time menu to reset the internal clock of the camera. The time and date are timestamps on .R3D
files when recording to an SSD. The camera uses the 24-hour clock convention (military time). For example,
enter 2:35 p.m. as 14:35:00.
The date and time are saved when you close the Date/Time menu.
COMMUNICATION
Use the Communication menu to allow one (1) or more cameras to communicate with each other or external
devices.
You can use the serial port or a direct Ethernet cable to connect two (2) cameras, or one (1) camera and one
(1) external device. If the camera is connected via Ethernet to a hub or router, multiple cameras and devices
can communicate with each other.
For example, on a multi-rig 3D shoot, you can send commands to an individual camera (Example: Set CAM_A_L
to 1/48 exposure), to a group of cameras (Example: Set 3DRIG_A to 48 FPS), or to all cameras (Example: Start
Recording on all cameras).
