MULTI-CAMERA CLIP NAMING CONVENTIONS

This section describes automatic camera-generated clip naming conventions based on slate settings. Cameras

use the Reel No, Cam ID, and Cam Pos settings to generate a custom clip name.

For example, if you have two (2) cameras in Master/Slave configuration and format media on both cameras with

the following settings:

CAMERA REEL NO CAM ID CAM POS

Master 1 S Left

Slave 1 S Right

The first clip recorded by this Master/Slave camera configuration is:

 Master: S001_L001_0503B6.R3D

 Slave: S001_R001_0503R7.R3D

NOTE: B6 and R7 are examples of camera-generated wildcard characters.

NOTE: If both camera settings are on left on the default, recorded clips will have the same filename structure.

The only exception is the camera-generated wildcard characters. For example:

 Master: A001_C001_0503B6.R3D

 Slave: A001_C001_0503R7.R3D

NOTE: Reel No, Cam ID, and Cam Pos can be set when formatting media at Menu > Media.

SET UP STEREO/3D CONFIGURATION

This section describes basic procedures for connecting two (2) DSMC BRAINs in a Master/Slave configuration

for 3D operation.

NOTE: When providing the signals to a Stereo Image Processor (SiP) for verifying 3D alignment, set the HD-SDI

monitor output on both cameras to have the same overlay configuration.

NOTE: For genlock to function correctly, the cameras must be on the same firmware version, and must be using

the same project time base and sensor frame rate.

To set up a Stereo/3D setup, follow the instructions below.

1. On both cameras, set the desired project time base and sensor frame rate.

2. On both cameras, follow the instructions in “Sensor Sync” on page 154 to achieve Sensor Sync genlock

status.

The GEN and SYNC indicators in the Lower Status Row illuminate green.

3. Follow the instructions in “Set Up Master/Slave Operation” on page 155 to set Master and Slave camera

settings.

4. On both cameras, follow the instructions in “Set Reel Number, Camera ID, and Camera Position” on page

156 to prepare media and camera settings.
