RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE
 955-0020_V5.2, REV-K | 64
DISPLAY MODES
Display mode options include: Magnify, RAW, and Horizon.
MAGNIFY
Displays the central region of the sensor in 1:1 pixel resolution. When enabled, the 1:1 text in the Lower Status 
Row turns green, and the AF Window and the magnified region display. The AF Window determines the center 
point of the magnified region. If the lens or lens mount is not capable of autofocus with the DSMC, use Confirm 
mode to turn on the AF Window. 
The magnified region cannot zoom in on any areas close to the edge of the screen. The size of the magnified 
region depends on the monitor screen. The camera automatically exits magnify mode when recording begins. 
NOTE: HDR mode, frame rate, and resolution cannot be modified in Magnify mode.
RAW
Displays images unaffected by the RGB settings (settings in the Look menu).
When enabled, the word RAW displays in the Histogram in the Lower Status Row.
The RAW image parameters are:
  Color Space: REDcolor2
  Gamma Space: REDlogFilm
  White Balance: 5600K
  ISO: 800 ISO
  Tint: 0 Tint 
NOTE: When enabled, RAW affects video recorded via HDMI or HD-SDI to an external recorder. Otherwise, RAW 
image parameters DO NOT affect image metadata; the parameters only affect the monitor output.
HORIZON
Displays an overlay that provides a reference to the position of the horizon. The Horizon overlay consists of two 
(2) short side-bars that are always horizontally centered on the monitor, and a single longer horizon-line that 
adjusts to the horizon based on the orientation of the BRAIN. 
The side-bars are green if the pitch is within +/– 1° of the calibrated zero position, otherwise they are red. The 
horizon-line is green if the roll is within +/– 1° of the calibrated zero position, otherwise it is red.
To add numerical values for the pitch and roll to the Horizon overlay, follow the instructions below: 
1.  Go to Menu > Settings > Display > Monitor Control > Overlay. 
2.  Select Create..., Clone..., or Edit..., respectively, for the desired overlay action.
3.  Select a location on the interface to add the numerical data for the Horizon overlay.
4.  Select Motion: Gyro Data (GYRO) from the Item drop-down menu.
5.  Select the desired text size.
6.  Select Add.
7.  Select Save.
8.  Go to Menu > Settings > Display > Monitor Control > Monitor, and select the overlay from the Overlay drop-
down menu.
NOTE: The internal gyroscope and accelerometer must be calibrated for the Horizon overlay to function properly. 
For more information, go to “Gyroscope and Accelerometer Calibration” on page 103. 
ZEBRA
Use Zebra mode to enable and adjust the upper and lower values for two (2) independent zebra indicators. Use 
Zebra 1 for highlight exposure, and use Zebra 2 for mid-tones or shadows. Zebras are visible in Magnify mode 
and are disabled by default. As with other IRE-based modes, zebra mode is applicable to the current ISO and 
Look settings, and not the RAW image.
