Record Via HD-SDI

NOTE: Audio is not embedded in the MON-1 signal.

This section describes how to record via HD-SDI through simultaneous record (recording to an SSD and an external recorder at the same time) or external record only.

Simultaneous Record

NOTE: The secondary LCD/EVF port and a MON-1 port cannot be used at the same time. Go to Monitor Preferences.

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

1. Connect the camera to an external recorder with an HD-SDI cable.
2. Ensure that a formatted SSD is inserted in the camera.
3. Set up the HD-SDI output:
   1. Go to Menu > Monitoring > Monitors and select a monitor.
   2. Select Clean from the Mode drop-down menu (otherwise the external recorder records the overlay).
   3. Select the output resolution from the Resolution drop-down menu.

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

4. Disable all False Colors (otherwise the external recorder records the False Colors). For more information, go to Tools.
5. If monitoring audio via a third-party monitor that supports audio, set up the monitor mix:
   1. Go to Menu > Settings > Audio > Mix > Monitor Mix.
   2. Adjust the input channels.
6. Go to Menu > Settings > Recording > Mode.
7. Select Local from the Storage drop-down menu.
8. Begin recording.

External Record

NOTE: The secondary LCD/EVF port and a MON-1 port cannot be used at the same time. Go to Monitor Preferences.

You can record to an external recorder without recording to an SSD. To record to an external device only, follow the instructions below:

1. Connect the camera to an external recorder with an HD-SDI cable.
2. Ensure the SSD is ejected.
3. Set up the HD-SDI output:
   1. Go to Menu > Monitoring > Monitors and select a monitor.
   2. Select Clean from the Mode drop-down menu (otherwise the external recorder records the overlay).
   3. Select the output resolution from the Resolution drop-down menu.

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

4. Disable all False Colors (otherwise the external recorder records the False Colors). For more information, go to Tools.
