RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE

955-0020_V5.2, REV-K | 98

FAN CONTROL MODES

Select a fan control mode for the bottom fan. If a top fan is installed, it runs at a constant speed when necessary.

NOTE: After selecting a new fan setting, run the DSMC until the core temperature stabilizes, and then perform

a black shading calibration.

NOTE: If 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.

NOTE: Manual and Auto modes require that you actively manage the sensor temperature, because these modes

focus on controlling fan speed and do not target a narrow sensor temperature range. Use the T/E status

indicators as guides for proper temperature calibration.

NOTE: Maximum speeds are intended as target speeds only; actual fan speeds may be higher at times due to

long recording times or high ambient temperatures.

ADAPTIVE

Adaptive is the default mode for EPIC DRAGON and SCARLET DRAGON.

Select a target temperature and the bottom fan self-adjusts to maintain the selected temperature. The default

target temperature is 65°C. After the camera reaches the target temperature, and if the ambient temperature

remains constant, Adaptive mode results in a consistent fan speed and fan noise over time.

Targeting a higher temperature raises the sensor temperature, lengthens the sensor warm-up time, and lowers

the fan speed. Targeting a lower temperature lowers the sensor temperature, shortens the sensor warm-up

time, and increases the fan speed.

 EPIC DRAGON and SCARLET DRAGON: Target temperature range is 55°C to 70°C. A target temperature of 65°C

works best across most environmental conditions.

 EPIC MYSTERIUM-X and SCARLET MYSTERIUM-X: Target temperature range is 45°C to 70°C. Target temperatures

above 50°C give noticeable fan noise improvements when compared to Auto mode.

ADAPTIVE PREVIEW QUIET RECORD

NOTE: Target Temperature only affects standby mode.

 Record mode: The camera uses Quiet fan mode. For more information, go to “Quiet” on page 98.

 Standby mode: The camera uses Adaptive fan mode. For more information, go to “Adaptive” on page 98.

AUTO

Auto is the default mode for EPIC MYSTERIUM-X and SCARLET MYSTERIUM-X.

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%. The Maximum Record Speed range is 25–100%. A slower speed

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

QUIET

The bottom fan self-adjusts to maintain the lowest possible noise level in record and standby mode while still

cooling the DSMC. Using Quiet results in a higher sensor temperature when compared to Auto mode.

MANUAL

Select a speed for the bottom fan in both record and standby modes. The bottom fan self-adjusts to maintain

the selected speeds. The default Maximum Record Speed is 50% and the default Maximum Standby Speed is

75%. The range for both Maximum Record Speed and Maximum Standby Speed is 25–100%.

POST RECORD DELAY

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