RED ARM adjustable mount arm
Interface cable – 1ft
The RED LCD is an 8-bit color 1024 x 600 5.6” display that
interfaces with the camera via a proprietary 17-pin connector. The
screen was prototyped out of aluminum, but may change to ABS plastic
when it ships. On the top of the LCD is a power button and three
interface control buttons.
Like the viewfinder, the LCD displays the captured image along
with look around, frame line overlays and status indicators. Since
a 16:9 image would be 1024 x 576 pixels, the extra pixels on the
display are saved for these indicators. The LCD can also display
the focus assist, waveform monitors, histogram, false color exposure
indicator or zebra exposure lines. It also displays the menu system
when it is activated; as well playback when the camera is playing
back completed takes.
Its ability to display all of these functions [most notably the
focus assist] makes it an amazing tool for a focus puller. Not only
will they have a very high resolution “video tap” of
what’s going on in the camera, they’ll also have the
ability to display the focus assist or blow the image up to a 1:1
pixel ratio for those extremely critical focus shots.
The LCD is quite bright, being designed for use indoors or outdoors.
While a sun shade wouldn't be a bad idea, it is apparently quite
viewable in direct sunlight.
The LCD mounts to the camera body or RED RAIL system via the RED
ARM – it has one ¼”-20 threaded mounting point
on the bottom. There are literally dozens of places to mount the
LCD with RED ARM on the RED RAIL system.
There are 3 foot and 10 foot extension cables available, so the
LCD can live up to 10 feet away from the camera. |
