DSMC SIDE HANDLE
The DSMC Side Handle provides programmable menu controls and a battery compartment that supports one
(1) REDVOLT battery. The backlit LCD displays camera parameter values and illuminates for operation in the
dark. Insert a REDVOLT in the DSMC Side Handle to power the DSMC, modules, and attached accessories.
Inserting a REDVOLT in the DSMC Side Handle also enables you to hot swap batteries and power sources con-
nected to the SEARAY and DC IN power connectors on the BRAIN.
For more information, see the
DSMC Operation Guide , available at www.red.com/downloads .
NOTE: Upgrading your DSMC to v5.3 also upgrades the DSMC Side Handle. During the upgrade, you will be in-
structed to shut down the DSMC twice so that the firmware upgrades successfully. Any DSMC Side Handle that
is upgraded to v5.3 can only be used with DSMCs running v5.2 or later. In order to use a DSMC Side Handle
with v5.1 after you’ve upgraded it to v5.3, first downgrade to v5.2, and then downgrade to v5.1.
