INTRODUCTION

The REDLINK™ Bridge is a wireless module that attaches to the rear of the DSMC

BRAIN, or other compat-

ible DSMC rear module, and provides communication support for third-party app development. As part of the

REDLINK™ Development kit, the REDLINK Bridge uses the REDLINK™ Command Protocol (RCP) to communi-

cate information between the DSMC and your application.
Additionally, the REDLINK Bridge can be used as part of the RED

3-AXIS LENS CONTROL SYSTEM to wirelessly

operate the focus and iris motors in supported Canon and Nikon lenses. In this scenario, the REDLINK Bridge

assumes the role of the RED

W.M.D. (WIRELESS MOTOR DRIVER), while the RED

T.H.C. (TACTICAL HAND

CONTROLLER) remains the wireless remote.
The REDLINK Bridge is capable of supporting wireless communication up to a range of approximately 50 feet.

As with all wireless devices, the communication range may be affected by the environment and any radio fre-

quency (RF) interference that may be present.
NOTE: The REDLINK Bridge requires that your DSMC is on firmware v5.2.8 or later.
