APPENDIX B: MANAGING DIGITAL MEDIA
The RED ONE camera supports two types of media for recording - compact flash and external hard disk.
MEDIA TYPES
REDFLASH (CF) compact flash media is available with capacities of 8GB and 16GB. Record duration is
dependent on resolution, quality and frame rate, but a 8GB CF card will typically provide 4 minutes of
24fps 4K RAW, 7 minutes of 24fps 3K RAW, or 16 minutes of 24fps 2K RAW recording.
Compact Flash (CF) media requires a REDFLASH (CF) module mounted to the left side of the camera
body.
REDMAG SSD media is available with capacities of 64GB, 128GB and 256GB. Record duration is de-
pendent on resolution, quality and frame rate, but a REDMAG 64GB will typically provide 32 minutes of
24fps 4K RAW, 56 minutes of 24fps 3K RAW, or 128 minutes of 24fps 2K RAW recording.
REDMAG SSD media requires a RED ONE 1.8” SSD module mounted to the left side of the camera body.
RED-DRIVE media is available with capacities of 320GB or 640GB. Record duration is dependent on
resolution, quality and frame rate, but a RED-DRIVE 320GB will typically provide 160 minutes of 24fps 4K
RAW, 280 minutes of 24fps 3K RAW, or 640 minutes of 24fps 2K RAW recording.
RED-DRIVE media is connected via a custom16-pin SATA interface cable (POWER connector) located at
the rear of the camera body.
RED-RAM media is available with capacities of 64GB or 128GB. Record duration is dependent on resolu-
tion, quality and frame rate, but a RED-RAM 64GB will typically provide 32 minutes of 24fps 4K RAW, 56
minutes of 24fps 3K RAW, or 128 minutes of 24fps 2K RAW recording.
RED-RAM media is connected via a custom16-pin SATA interface cable (POWER connector) located at
the rear of the camera body.
IMPORTANT: After connecting REDFLASH, REDMAG, RED-DRIVE or RED-RAM to the camera and
BEFORE recording, you should format the media using the camera (even if formatting was previ-
ously performed on a computer). Go to SETUP > MEDIA > FORMAT to properly format media be-
fore recording.
FORMATTING MEDIA
Media must be formatted prior to using it for recording. Formatting is performed on camera, although me-
dia may be erased on a Macintosh OS X personal computer, allowing the camera to just add the neces-
sary project profile and clip log data.
NOTE: Media formatted on-camera will use a name and root volume in the format:
Camera Letter + Reel Number + Month + Day + ** where ** is a two digit alphanumeric random number
generated by the camera for each file e.g. A001_0512A6.RDM
Clips recorded to the media follow similar naming conventions
A001_C001_0512A6_001.RDC
and A001_C001_0512A6_H.mov etc…
IMPORTANT: Media must always be un-mounted prior to removal or disconnection from the cam-
era. This ensures power is removed from the digital media and any open data files are closed. Fail-
