RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE

955-0020_V5.2, REV-C | 75

SERIAL PROTOCOL

The camera can communicate to external devices via the RS232 Serial Port and/or the Gigabit Ethernet Port.

Select one of the following protocols from the Serial Protocol drop-down menu:

 None (default)

 Element Technica

 3ality SPC 7XXX

 REDLINK Command Protocol

 RCP 3D Metadata

ETHERNET

Use the settings on the Network tab to configure the Gigabit Ethernet port. Each camera or device requires a

unique IP address. For simple camera-to-camera communication via Ethernet, both cameras need to be in the

same sub-net (have the same netmask address) and have the same gateway address.

 DHCP: Enables DHCP. If a DHCP-server is available in the communications network, the camera will obtain

an IP address, netmask address, and gateway address automatically from the DHCP server. You cannot

manually enter anything in the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway fields when this check box is selected.

 Enable Camera to camera: Changes to settings on this camera will be sent out via the network as UDP pack-

ets as a SET command, which will then set the property on other cameras. SET commands sent to this

camera will not be propagated.

 Enable External Control: This camera can be controlled via TCP/IP from an external device.

NOTE: If you see the message “For reliable external control over Ethernet your camera’s hardware may need

to be upgraded. Please contact your Bomb Squad representative”, you will not be able to control the camera

externally. If you see this message, please contact your Bomb Squad representative to have your hardware

upgraded.

WIFI

The settings on the WiFi screen are only used when a REDLINK Bridge is attached to the DSMC. For more

information aout setting up and using a REDLINK Bridge, see the REDLINK Bridge Operation Guide, available

at www.red.com/downloads.

REDMOTE

A REDMOTE that is docked to the DSMC is automatically paired with the DSMC. The MAC address of a locally

attached REDMOTE is displayed in brackets.

To pair the DSMC with REDMOTEs wirelessly, select Scan for REDMOTES. The DSMC scans for any REDMOTEs

that are turned on with REDlink wireless enabled. The available wireless REDMOTEs appear in the left panel.

Use the Pair and Unpair buttons to select and pair/unpair REDMOTEs.

 REDlink Enable: When selected, the DSMC produces a wireless signal. Be sure to disable wireless in any

setting in which the wireless signal could interfere with other devices, such as in a helicopter.

 REDlink Channel: Select the communication channel for the REDlink wireless connection in the event of in-

terference from other wireless devices.
