SET REEL NUMBER, CAMERA ID, AND CAMERA POSITION

To prepare media and slate settings for a Master/Slave or Stereo/3D production, follow the instructions below:

1. On both Master and Slave cameras, go to Menu > Media > Device and select Format Media....

2. On both Master and Slave cameras, select the desired Reel No and Cam ID settings.

NOTE: The Reel No and Cam ID settings on both BRAINs should match.

3. On the Master camera, change the Cam Pos value to Left, representing “left eye”.

4. On the Slave camera, change the Cam Pos value to Right, representing “right eye”.

5. On both cameras, select Format... to format media and set Reel No, Cam ID, and Cam Pos settings.

NOTE: Cam ID and Cam Pos settings can also be found at Menu > Settings > Project > Slate > Camera.

MULTI-CAMERA CLIP NAMING CONVENTIONS

This section describes automatic camera-generated clip naming conventions based on slate settings. Cameras

use the Reel No, Cam ID, and Cam Pos settings to generate a custom clip name.

For example, if you have two (2) cameras in Master/Slave configuration and format media on both cameras with

the following settings:

CAMERA REEL NO CAM ID CAM POS

Master 1 S Left

Slave 1 S Right

The first clip recorded by this Master/Slave camera configuration is:

 Master: S001_L001_0503B6.R3D

 Slave: S001_R001_0503R7.R3D

NOTE: B6 and R7 are examples of camera-generated wildcard characters.

NOTE: If both camera settings are on left on the default, recorded clips will have the same filename structure.

The only exception is the camera-generated wildcard characters. For example:

 Master: A001_C001_0503B6.R3D

 Slave: A001_C001_0503R7.R3D

NOTE: Reel No, Cam ID, and Cam Pos can be set when formatting media at Menu > Media > Device.
