APPENDIX A: UPGRADING CAMERA FIRMWARE

RED SCARLET-X camera functionality may be upgraded by installing the latest firmware.

Camera firmware is identified by Version and SVN number, which will be displayed by the camera on the

LCD display when SYSTEM INFO is selected. A higher number reflects a later release.

Make a habit of frequently visiting www.RED.com/support to check for later versions of camera

firmware, Operations Guide updates, and postproduction software.

Your REDmote also requires a firmware upgrade. Go to APPENDIX E: REDMOTE OPERATION >

MAINTENANCE > UPGRADING REDMOTE FIRMWARE.

VERIFY CURRENT CAMERA FIRMWARE

With the camera ON, select SECONDARY MENUS > SETTINGS > MAINTENANCE > SYSTEM INFO.

The camera’s P.I.N. number and current firmware version will be displayed.
