FAN CONTROL

Select a fan control mode for your bottom fan. If a top fan is installed, it will activate at a constant speed when

necessary.

 Adaptive: Select a target temperature and the bottom fan self-adjusts to maintain the selected temperature.

The default target temperature is 55 °C. This is the default mode.

‒ EPIC DRAGON and SCARLET DRAGON: Target temperature range is 55–70 °C.

‒ EPIC MYSTERIUM-X and SCARLET MYSTERIUM-X: Target temperature range is 45–70 °C.

 Quiet Preview And Record: The bottom fan self-adjusts to maintain the lowest possible noise level in record

and standby mode while still cooling the DSMC.

 Auto: This mode is only available on EPIC MYSTERIUM-X and SCARLET MYSTERIUM-X cameras. Select

a maximum bottom fan record speed, and the standby mode fan speed self-adjusts accordingly so that

enough cooling is provided overall. The default Maximum Record Speed is 50%; a slower speed setting

results in a faster standby mode fan speed, and vice versa.

NOTE: All settings are intended as target speeds only; actual fan speeds may at times be higher than specified

to satisfy any unmet cooling requirements due to long recording times or high ambient temperatures.

NOTE: If you select a new fan setting, run the DSMC until the core temperature stabilizes, and then perform a

black shading calibration.

NOTE: If you’re using a top fan, the top fan may not run immediately after turning on the DSMC, as the top fan

runs when the DSMC requires additional cooling power.

POST RECORD DELAY

Select the amount of time that it takes for the bottom fan to switch from record to standby mode. Default is

None.
