BRAIN
Figure: RED RAVEN BRAIN
The DSMC BRAIN® is the image processing center of the camera system and supports power, media, and other modules.
The only ports on the BRAIN are the DSMC2® Top Handle port and EVF/LCD ports. A port expander or power module is required to power the camera. All other input/ouput (I/O) ports are available only via expanders and other modules. This modular approach allows you to customize your camera and make use of the ports that are most applicable to your needs.
The RED® Tactical Hand Controller (T.H.C.) cannot pair directly to the camera. To use the T.H.C. with the camera, the T.H.C. needs to be connected to the W.M.D. (either wired or wirelessly). For more information about the T.H.C., see the RED 3-Axis System Operation Guide.
BRAIN Control: PWR/REC Key
- Fully press and hold the PWR/REC key for two (2) seconds to turn on/off.
- When the camera is on, fully press and then release the PWR/REC key to toggle record start/stop.
BRAIN LEDs
This section describes the LED functions for the camera.
NOTE: When the camera is powered only by battery and not AC power, the Power Status LED (PWR) on the expander or module does not turn on. You can press the button on the battery to check the battery charge level.
