RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC2 BRAIN with HELIUM 8K S35 Sensor (2018 Unified DSMC2 Lineup) - Manual (Page 176)

SENSOR SYNC
NOTE: HDRX ® is not available when Genlock Sensor Sync is enabled.
Sensor Sync is achieved when an incoming genlock signal is compatible with the monitor output frequency, project
time base, and recording frame rate. In Sensor Sync mode, sensor timing is locked to the genlock signal. Sensor
Sync requires the following synchronized settings:
SETTING MENU LOCATION PATH
Genlock signal frequency N/A; external genlock device
HD-SDI monitor output frequency Menu > Monitoring > Monitors > select monitor
Project Time Base Menu > Settings > Project > Frame Rate
Recording Frame Rate Menu > Settings > Project > Frame Rate
SET UP SENSOR SYNC MODE
NOTE: Using genlock requires a DSMC2 Base Expander, DSMC2 V-Lock I/O Expander, DSMC2 Jetpack Expander,
DSMC2 Jetpack-SDI Expander, DSMC2 REDVOLT Expander, or DSMC2 Production Module. For more information,
go to
"Input/Output Connectors" on page 218 .
To set up and enable Sensor Sync Mode, follow the instructions below:
1. Ensure that the Project Time Base and Recording Frame Rate will be compatible with the incoming genlock signal.
2. Connect the genlock device to the camera:
DSMC2 Base Expander, DSMC2 V-Lock I/O Expander, DSMC2 Jetpack Expander, or DSMC2 Jetpack-
SDI Expander
: Connect the SYNC port (00B) on the expander to the device (green BNC) using a 3BNC-to-00
Sync Cable.
DSMC2 REDVOLT Expander or DSMC2 Production Module : Connect the GENLOCK port on the expander
or module to the device using a 75 ohm BNC cable.
3. Go to Menu > Settings > Setup > GPIO/Sync > Sync .
4. Select Genlock from the Sensor Sync Mode drop-down menu.
5. Set up the frequency for the HD-SDI output (select Auto to automatically match the HD-SDI output to the current
Project Time Base). For more information, go to "Frequency" on page 89 .
The GEN indicator in the Lower Status Row turns green when a compatible genlock signal is present and genlock
is enabled. The SYNC indicator in the Lower Status Row turns green when Sensor Sync is achieved.
