Record Via HD-SDI or HDMI

This section describes how to record via HD-SDI or HDMI through simultaneous record (recording to an SSD and an external recorder at the same time) or external record only. For more information on how to enable default menus for an external recorder, go to Cannot Use Touchscreen.

Simultaneous Record

You can record simultaneously to an external recorder and a RED SSD. To record simultaneously, follow the instructions below:

2. Ensure that a formatted SSD is inserted in the camera.
3. Set up the HD-SDI or HDMI output:
   1. Go to Menu > Settings > Display > Monitor Control > Monitor Setup.
   2. Select HDMI or HDSDI from the drop-down menu at the top of the menu.

   4. Select the output resolution from the Resolution drop-down menu.

      NOTE: The HDMI and HD-SDI maximum resolution is 1080p. For more information, go to Record/Monitor Out Ports.
