RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE: EPIC/SCARLET

POWER PRIORITY

When multiple power sources are connected to the BRAIN, power consumption is prioritized in this sequence:

1. DC power supply (DC IN connector)

2. Attached RED BRICK

(Lowest state of charge first)

3. Battery module batteries (SEARAY connector; lowest state of charge first)

4. REDVOLT battery in an attached DSMC Side Handle

POWER CONSUMPTION

The BRAIN draws approximately 60 W when recording in 5K resolution, at 24 FPS.

Under typical conditions batteries provide the following operating time:

 REDVOLT: Powers the BRAIN and accessories for approximately 30 minutes.

 REDVOLT XL: Powers the BRAIN and accessories for approximately 90 minutes.

 RED BRICK: Powers the BRAIN and accessories for approximately 120 minutes.

POWER STATUS

The power status of the current primary power source displays in the Lower Status Row of the graphical user

interface (GUI). Navigate to the Power In menu at Menu > Power > Power In for the status of all connected power

sources. For more information, go to “Power Menu” on page 128.

APPROVED EXTERNAL DC POWER

The camera accepts input voltages of 11.5 V to 17 V DC, and can draw a maximum current of 12 A. The BRAIN

can be powered continuously by connecting one (1) of the following to the DC IN port on the BRAIN:

 DSMC AC Power Adaptor

 RED BRICK Charger: Requires a 2B-to-1B Power Adaptor Cable.

 RED BRICK: Requires a Backpack Quickplate or Battery Belt Clip (DSMC). Also supported by a RED Quickplate

or RED Cradle using a 2B-to-1B Power Adaptor Cable.

 XLR DC power source: Requires an XLR Power Cable.

TURN ON THE BRAIN

1. Attach a power source to the BRAIN.

The Power Status LED illuminates red, indicating that an appropriate power source is connected.

2. Press and release the PWR/REC button on the right side of the BRAIN.

The Power Status LED turns off, and within five (5) seconds illuminates yellow as the BRAIN turns on.

The Power Status LED then illuminates green to confirm that the BRAIN is turned on and ready to use.

NOTE: The Power Status LED flashes red when there is less than five (5) minutes of operating time remaining.

TURN OFF THE BRAIN

Use one of the following methods to turn off the BRAIN:

 Go to Menu > Power and select Shutdown.

 Press and hold PWR/REC until the Shutting Down... notification shows on the display.

NOTE: The DSMC turns off automatically if the supply voltage drops to 11.5 V.
