Output Video

With the REDCAST Module, you can output the following:

• Output Quad UHD

• Output SMPTE-UHD6G

• Output 1080p

Output Quad UHD

This section explains how to output 4K Ultra-High Definition (UHD) via the REDCAST Module.

Required Items

• DSMC^® BRAIN

• Adaptor module (either a +1 Adaptor Module or a Module Adaptor)

• REDCAST Module

• Four (4) 3G-SDI cables

• Quad 3G-SDI device

Set Up Quad UHD 3G-SDI

1. Turn the camera off.

2. Install the REDCAST Module on the camera. For more information, go to Install the REDCAST Module.

3. Use four (4) 3G-SDI cables to connect the four (4) SDI-OUT ports on the REDCAST Module to the four (4) 3G-SDI IN ports on a quad 3G-SDI device.

   NOTE: Be careful to connect each cable from the REDCAST Module to the appropriate connector on the device. For example, connect SDI-OUT 1 on the REDCAST Module (top left quadrant) to 3G-SDI IN 1 on the device.

4. Turn on the camera.

5. Go to Menu > Settings > Project > Format > UHD.

   The UHD menu lists the formats that are capable of displaying on a 4K display.

6. Select the Resolution and Aspect Ratio. Options depend on the camera type:

   • EPIC DRAGON^®: 6K 16:9 (HD); 5K 16:9 (HD); 4K 16:9 (HD)

   • SCARLET DRAGON^®: 5K 16:9 (HD); 4K 16:9 (HD)

   NOTE: The REDCAST Module scales down to the output resolution you select in Step 9. However, the resolution you select in this step is recorded to the SSD.

7. Select Set Format.

   NOTE: You must select Set Format to apply the format. Closing the menu any other way DOES NOT apply the format.
