Unmount: select to un-mount digital media from the RED ONE™ camera in a failsafe manner.
The camera operating system will ensure that all files are closed, hard disk heads (if present)
are parked, and CF card or RED-DRIVE™ magazine is properly powered down.
Format: select to format digital media. The camera will warn that “all data will be erased”, and
formatting require that a sequence of confirm commands are made before proceeding.
Change: select this function if you wish to change the reel number allocated by the camera
when media is formatted. Choose any reel number between 1-999, and then press FORMAT. If
the magazine is not empty, a warning and conformation screen will appear, press FORMAT or
CANCEL as appropriate.
Note: The default reel number offered by the camera will be the last used value the cam-
era used as the reel number - e.g. if the last used reel number was 56, the change num-
ber suggested by the camera will also be 56.
Reset: select this function if you wish to reset the reel number counter used by the camera to
allocate reel numbers when the media is formatted. Choose any reel number between 1-999,
and then press FORMAT. If the magazine is not empty, a warning and conformation screen will
appear, press FORMAT or CANCEL as appropriate.
Note: The default reel number offered by the camera will be 1. The camera no longer resets
this value each time the Project Time Base (formerly Frame Rate) is changed. With Build 16
firmware the reel number counter must be manually reset at the start of each new project.
Note: To protect against duplicate magazine and file names, the camera inserts a ran-
dom two digit alphanumeric number in the file and/or directory names.
For example – if we re-use 2 as the digital magazine number (reel number)
