DSMC2 Production Module

Designed for professional shooting configurations, the DSMC2 Production Module mounts directly to the BRAIN and offers a comprehensive array of video, power, communication, and pro audio connections. RED offers two (2) versions of this module:

• DSMC2 Production Module (V-Lock): Incorporates a V-Lock mount that supports the RED BRICK, REDVOLT-V, or other standard v-lock batteries.
• DSMC2 Production Module (Gold Mount): Incorporates a gold mount battery plate that supports standard gold mount batteries.

Aside from the battery plates, the two (2) versions of the DSMC2 Production Module are identical.

The DSMC2 Production Module is constructed from lightweight and durable aluminum alloy. The module includes three (3) BNC video connectors for maximum monitoring flexibility on-set. Two (2) connectors output a cloned 3G-SDI signal, and one (1) connector serves as an independent monitoring output.

To support production demands for on-board monitors, wireless video transmitters, wireless lens control, and focus assist systems, the module includes multiple auxiliary power outputs:

• Two (2) front-facing 3-Pin Fischer R/S ports support Remote Start/Stop functionality, and provide 24V power out up to a combined 2.5 Amps.
• A front-facing 2-Pin 0B AUX PWR port provides power out up to 3.0 Amps.
• A 2-Pin P-Tap connector on the top provides power out up to 3.0 Amps.
• A rear-facing USB 2.0 port with support for fast charging offers 5V at 1.5 Amps for powering small mobile devices.

Two (2) standard XLR connections are included for most professional audio needs. Each XLR input features a 3-position selector switch to designate the incoming audio signal type: Balanced Line Level, Balanced Mic Level, and Balanced Mic with +48V phantom power. Additionally, a 3.5mm line-level headphone jack allows users to monitor audio during takes and in playback mode.

The module features ports for power in (DC IN), Genlock (BNC), 5-Pin 0B Timecode port, GIG-E, and CTRL.

The module also features a selector switch that enables the BRAIN to automatically boot when power is provided via the DC IN connector on the module. This feature allows operators to use a connected DC input supply to turn the BRAIN on and off when the camera is mounted in remote or difficult to maneuver locations.

NOTE: The battery plate on the DSMC2 Production Module is always enabled, regardless of the Auto Boot on Power switch position.

NOTE: Only one (1) module can be used at a time.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to power a third-party device without first verifying the cabling and connections are correct, since that may cause damage. Damage to the device, the module, or other components of the camera system caused by attempting to power a third-party device incorrectly may not be covered under warranty.
