RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE: EPIC/SCARLET

955-0020_V6.0, REV-J | 166

SET UP A CAMERA ARRAY

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.

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.

For more information on camera control, see the REDLINK

SDK, available at www.red.com/developers.

To set up a camera array, follow the instructions below:

1. On each camera, go to Menu > Settings > Setup > Communication and set the following:

‒ On the Camera tab, set Target to All.

‒ On the Camera tab, enter a matching name in the Group field.

‒ On the Ethernet tab, ensure that Enable DHCP, Enable Camera to Camera, and Enable External Control are

all selected.

NOTE: All cameras must have the same Group name.

2. Follow the instructions in “Sensor Sync” on page 161 to connect each camera to the genlock device.

The GEN and SYNC indicators in the Lower Status Row illuminate green.

3. Follow the instructions in “Set Up Master/Slave Operation” on page 162 to set Master and Slave camera

settings.

NOTE: Instead of using the Master/Slave Gig-E Cable, connect each camera to the router using a LEMO-

To-CAT5E Ethernet Cable.

A. Connect the LEMO connector to the GIG-E port on the BRAIN.

B. Connect the Ethernet connector to the router.

4. On all cameras, follow the instructions in “Set Reel Number, Camera ID, and Camera Position” on page

164 to prepare media and camera settings.
