COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS
INDUSTRIAL CANADA EMISSION COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme
NMB-003 du Canada.
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) STATE-
MENTS
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital de-
vice, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that inter-
ference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded
cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-ap-
proved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interfer-
ence to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes
and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of
manufacturer could void the users authority to operate this equip-
ment.
NOTE: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operations subjected to the following two conditions (1) this device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including that may cause undesirable in-
terference.
CAUTION: Regulations of the FCC and FAA
prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency
wireless devices because there signals could
interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
CAUTION: If the device is changes or modified
without permission from RED, the user may
void his or her authority to operate the equip-
ment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Heed all cautions and warnings in these instructions.
Read these instructions before operating the lens mount.
Follow these instructions while operating the lens mount.
Keep these instructions with the lens mount at all times.
DO NOT attempt to modify, dismantle or open your lens mount
as doing so may expose you to electric shock and serious
injury. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Alteration or
repairs made to the lens mount, except by a RED authorized
service facility, will void the Limited Warranty. Users are not
permitted to make design changes or otherwise modify the op-
eration of the lens mount without the express written approval
of RED.
Install lens mount in accordance with the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
DO NOT use the lens mount near water. Avoid exposing your
lens mount to moisture. The unit is not waterproof, so contact
with water could cause permanent damage to the unit as well
as electric shock and serious injury to the user. DO NOT use
the lens mount in the rain or under other conditions with high
moisture without appropriate protection, and immediately re-
move power source if the lens mount is exposed to moisture
while attached to the camera.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or elec-
tric shock, do not expose the lens mount
to rain or moisture.
DO NOT expose your lens mount to excessive vibration or im-
pact (shock). Be careful not to drop your lens mount. Internal
mechanisms may be damaged by severe shock. Mechanical
alignment of optical elements may be affected by excessive
vibration.
When cleaning your lens mount, remember that it is not water-
proof and moisture can damage electronic circuitry. DO NOT
rinse or immerse any element of the lens mount, keep it dry at
all times. DO NOT use soaps, detergents, ammonia, alkaline
cleaners, and abrasive cleaning compounds or solvents. These
substances may damage the glass coating and electronic cir-
cuitry. Do NOT use compressed air.
DO NOT operate or store near any heat sources such as radia-
tors, heat registers, stoves, or any other apparatus that pro-
duces heat. Store in a protected, level and ventilated place.
Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, damp, severe vibra-
tion, strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight or local heat sourc-
es during storage. Recommended storage and usage tempera-
tures for your lens mount are:
‒Operating range: 0°C to +40°C (32°F to 104°F)
‒Storage range: –40°C to +80°C (–40°F to 176°F)
If there are any performance issues with your lens mount when
operating within this temperature range, please file a support
ticket at https://support.red.com/home.
The lens mount is NOT HOT SWAPPABLE – meaning you can-
not remove or install it while the camera is powered on. Before
installing or removing the lens mount, you MUST power down
the camera. Failure to do so may result in damage to the lens
mount and/or camera brain that will not be covered under war-
ranty.
CAUTION: Refer all service and repair to
qualified RED service personnel. To re-
duce the risk of electric shock, and dam-
age to the lens mount, DO NOT attempt
to perform any servicing other than any
procedures that are recommended in the
operating instructions.

INTRODUCTION
The DSMC®RED MOTION MOUNTTM is a revolutionary and fully-integrated system that combines a variable
neutral density (ND) filter, IR cut filter, linear polarizer, global shutter, and temporal anti-aliasing soft shutter into
a single lens mount for your EPIC or SCARLET Digital Still and Motion Camera (DSMC).
VARIABLE ND FILTER
The electronic variable ND filter provides an optical density range of 0.48–1.20 (1.60–4.00 stops) when the
MOTION MOUNT shutter is enabled, and an optical density range of 0.48–2.40 (1.60–8.00 stops) when in ND
Only mode. You can quickly adjust the ND value through the DSMC interface or the user keys, eliminating the
need to manually swap out ND filters.
IR FILTER AND LINEAR POLARIZATION
The MOTION MOUNT incorporates an IR-cut filter and new color science, providing accurate and natural color
over a wide range of color temperatures. The IR-cut filter in particular ensures rich, deep shadows. The IR-cut
filter minimizes IR contamination in your shots, even at very high ND levels, which ensures that the camera does
not require a separate hot mirror.
Due to the built-in linear polarizer, light that passes through the MOTION MOUNT becomes vertically polarized.
MOTION MOUNT SHUTTERS
The MOTION MOUNT soft shutter performs temporal-anti-aliasing in your image, eliminating the wagon-wheel
effect so that you capture realistic and natural motion. As its name implies, the soft shutter softens the edges
of blur, resulting in sharper yet smoother motion and pans. For more information about temporal anti-aliasing,
check out the Temporal Aliasing with Cinema article available at www.red.com/learn/red-101/cinema-temporal-
aliasing.
The MOTION MOUNT global shutter (referred to in the user interface and the rest of this document as the
“square shutter”) eliminates rolling shutter artifacts, such as partial illumination caused by strobes. The global
shutter ensures uniform exposure throughout your image, regardless of strobes or motion. For more information
about global shutters, check out the Global & Rolling Shutters article available at www.red.com/learn/red-101/
global-rolling-shutter.
