USE A TRIPOD OR MONOPOD
This section describes the WEAPON mounting points and mounting equipment for use with a tripod or monopod.
The WEAPON is equipped with two (2) 3/8-16 mounting holes and one (1) 1/4-20 mounting hole on the bottom
of the BRAIN. These mounting points are designed for use with a variety of mounting plates and hardware, to
support tripods and other support systems.
WARNING: Ensure that the tripod, monopod, or support system is designed and rated to handle the weight
of your WEAPON configuration. RED is not responsible for any damage caused by using a tripod, monopod,
mount, or support system that does not provide sufficient support.
WARNING: DO NOT use excessive force to mount a support accessory, as this may damage the screw threading.

VIDEO MONITOR OUTPUTS
NOTE: HD-SDI and HDMI
®
ports are only available on select WEAPON expanders. For more information, go to
“Input/Output Connectors” on page 161.
The monitoring path converts RAW sensor data to a white balanced 12-bit depth 1920 x 1080 pixel RGB 4:4:4
video signal. The signal may be modified using ISO, White Balance, or other RGB color space adjustments. The
signal is then scaled and gamma-corrected to provide monitor outputs at 10-bit depth in 4:2:2 YCC or 8-bit
depth in 4:4:4 RGB.
The camera offers the following monitor outputs:
EVF/LCD: Supports a RED EVF or LCD display.
HD-SDI: Provides a 720p or 1080p output suitable for monitoring or recording to an external VTR or DDR
device. It may be configured for 10-bit LIN (VIDEO) or 10-bit LOG (FILM) encoded data.
HDMI: Provides a 480p, 720p, or 1080p output suitable for monitoring via a Windows
®
monitor or most
HDTVs.
