E.g. A001_C002_0502A6.RDC
Where: A = camera A, 001 = reel 001, C002 = clip 002, and 0502 = May 02
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.
