And A6 is a two digit alphanumeric random number generated by the camera. This number
helps avoid duplicate file names if two cameras are inadvertently named A on the same set.
Three cameras identified as A, B and C can therefore have individually recognizable clips
A001_C001_0502**.RDC B001_C001_0502**.RDC C001_C001_0502**.RDC
A single camera identified as A can have individually recognizable reel numbers, such as
A001_C001_0502**.RDC, A002_C001_0502**.RDC, and A003_C001_0502**.RDC
A single camera identified as A can have individually recognizable clip numbers, such as
A001_C001_0502**.RDC, A002_C002_0502**.RDC, and A003_C003_0502**.RDC
Note - Even if the same Reel number and / or camera name are reused, the use of the two
character random files generated non-duplicate file names, such as
A001_C001_0502A6.RDC, A001_C001_050267.RDC, and A001_C001_0502F8.RDC
Under normal operation, the reel number increments each time the camera formats a new
piece of digital media, up to a maximum value of 999. However the reel number may be manu-
ally reset at any time to 001or other desired value.
A001_C001_0502**.RDC and then force to 1 to create A001_C001_0503**.RDC
SMPTE Timecode
As each recording is made, the RED ONE camera records two independent timecode tracks.
Edge Code is a SMPTE timecode track that always starts at 1.00.00.00 on the first frame of
each piece of digital media. It is a sequential code that is continuous from frame to frame and
also between clips. Edge Code is equivalent to RUN RECORD as used on broadcast cameras.
Time Code is a SMPTE timecode track that syncs to the camera’s clock, or if operated in Jam
Sync mode, syncs to an externally supplied SMPTE master timecode signal. It is therefore a
sequential code that is continuous from frame to frame, but discontinuous between clips.
Note: Time Code and Edge Code are only output from the 5-pin timecode connector if
OUTPUT is enabled in the TIMECODE setup menu, but are always embedded in HD-SDI.
When in Varispeed or Timelapse recording modes, the timecode counters are updated at the
same frame rate as the recording. This means valid SMPTE timecode is created without count
jumps that would affect clip playback or editing. If using an external timecode source with Jam
Sync enabled, the clip’s master time reference point is the first frame of the recorded clip.
