RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC2 BRAIN with HELIUM 8K S35 Sensor (2018 Unified DSMC2 Lineup) - Manual (Page 95)

FALSE COLOR MODES: EXPOSURE
To enable, go to Menu > Overlays > Tools > False Color and select Exposure from the False Color drop-down
menu.
The Exposure tool displays a color overlay on top of a desaturated image that allows you to check for proper
exposure. When enabled, the “E√” indicator displays in the Lower Status Row.
The Exposure meter colors indicate the following information:
Purple : Underexposed; indicates sensor exposure levels that may be noisy if gained up in post production.
Green : IRE 41–48; based on the RGB levels of the video out signal and not the RAW data.
Red : Overexposed; indicates sensor exposure levels that are clipping.
Purple (underexposure) and red (overexposure) are based on RAW data and show areas that are clipping or close to
clipping. The RGB settings DO NOT affect the Exposure indicators.
FALSE COLOR MODES: VIDEO
To enable, go to Menu > Overlays > Tools > False Color and select Video from the False Color drop-down menu.
The Video tool displays a color overlay that indicates the video level of the RGB monitor path (calibrated to the
SMPTE test signal). When enabled, the “V√” indicator displays in the Lower Status Row.
Colors are based on the RGB levels of the video out signal (that is, the “cooked” look, and not RAW data). The RGB
settings affect the Video indicators.
The Video indicators represent the following IRE values (at all other values, the desaturated image represents the
luminance value of the ISO adjusted image):
Purple : IRE 0–4
Blue : IRE 5
Teal : IRE 10–12
Green : IRE 41–48
Pink : IRE 61–70
Straw : IRE 92–93
Yellow : IRE 94–95
Orange : IRE 96–98
Red : IRE 99–100
FALSE COLOR MODES: FOCUS
To enable, go to Menu > Overlays > Tools > False Color and select Focus from the False Color drop-down menu.
The Focus tool emphasizes contrast and edges in the image without changing brightness or image content making it
easier to judge focus. Adjust zoom and focus to easily see which objects are coming into focus.
When enabled, the “F√” indicator displays in the Lower Status Row.
FALSE COLOR MODES: EDGE
To enable, go to Menu > Overlays > Tools > False Color and select Edge from the False Color drop-down menu.
Shows the edges/outlines of objects that are in focus. When enabled, the “F√” indicator displays in the Lower Status
Row.
NOTE: The Edge setting may interfere with recordings done via HDMI or HD-SDI in Clean mode.
