RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE: EPIC/SCARLET

SENSOR SYNC

Sensor Sync is achieved when a genlock signal is provided that is compatible with the current monitor output

frequency, project time base, and recording frame rate. While operating in Sensor Sync, 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 > Settings > Display > Monitor Control

Project Time Base Menu > Settings > Project > Frame Rate

Recording Frame Rate Menu > Settings > Project > Frame Rate

NOTE: HDRx is not available when Genlock Sensor Sync is enabled.

To set up and enable Sensor Sync Mode, follow the instructions below:

1. Connect the desired genlock device to the camera using a 3BNC-to-00 LEMO Sync Cable.

A. Connect the green BNC connector to the genlock device.

B. Connect the 00B LEMO connector to the SYNC port on the BRAIN.

2. Go to Menu > Settings > Setup > GPIO/Sync > Sync.

3. Select Genlock from the Sensor Sync Mode drop-down menu.

4. Select BRAIN from the Genlock Source drop-down menu.

5. Go to Menu > Settings > Display > Monitor Control.

6. Select BRAIN HDSDI from the drop-down menu.

7. Select the desired monitor output frequency from the Frequency drop-down menu.

NOTE: Select Auto to automatically match the HD-SDI output to the current project time base.

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.
