CAMERA ARRAY
SET UP A CAMERA ARRAY
NOTE:
Master/Slave operation, including stereo/3D and camera arrays, requires a GIG-E port, which is available on the
DSMC2 Jetpack-SDI Expander, DSMC2 REDVOLT Expander, and DSMC2 Production Module. For more information,
go to
"GIG-E (Ethernet)" on page 237
NOTE:
For genlock to function correctly, the cameras must be on the same firmware version, and must be using the
same project time base and recording frame rate.
NOTE:
To operate a camera array setup from a Windows
®
computer or workstation, you need one of several
applications provided by RED
®
or third-party developers.
You can sync more than two (2) cameras for applications and productions that require a camera array. To set up a
camera array, you need a 1000Base-T gigabit Ethernet router.
