Underneath the status display key group are the Power On/Off switch (top left) two 4 pin Auxiliary 
Power / GPIO outputs, 6 pin camera system POWER input and a 16 pin DRIVE interface.  
Each Auxiliary Power / GPIO connector can supply 1.75 amps of unregulated 11.5 – 17V DC to 
accessories such as range finders or low power lens motors. The upper connector provides a 
GPI trigger (user programmable but defaulted to Record Start / Stop) and a Record Tally output. 
The lower connector provides a GPI trigger (user programmable but defaulted to Single Frame 
Record) and a Frame Recorded Tally output. 
The DRIVE interface supplies power and data over e-SATA protocols to record REDCODE RAW 
compressed video data, metadata and audio to RED-DRIVE or RED-RAM digital media. 
Power Up. 
To power the camera up from a RED BRICK battery, press the power on/off switch once. 
To power the camera up from a RED-CHARGER, connect it via the supplied power cable. Plug 
the RED-CHARGER into an AC power source and switch it on. After the green LED illuminates on 
the RED-CHARGER, the camera can be powered on by pressing its On/Off switch. 
To power the camera down, press the power on/off switch once.  
Note: After power down, is recommended that you wait approximately 10 seconds after 
the camera’s green status LED goes off before powering the camera up again. If the green 
LED on the charger lights but then goes out, press the camera power On/ Off switch twice.
