RED Alert!™ (Use V3.5.0 or higher for Build 17 footage)
RED Alert!™ is available for Intel based Mac OSX computers only.
In addition to performing white balance and one light color correction, RED Alert!™ can export a
clip at 4K and 2K resolution via 10-bit DPX or 16-bit TIFF files, or create color corrected Quick-
Time reference movies for editing or other uses by applications that use the RED QuickTime
Codec. As RED ONE™ shoots progressive scan images, all QuickTime movies created by RED
Alert!™ will also be progressive scan.
The upper panel in the display provides information about the levels in the selected clip. Expo-
sure and White Balance may be altered, R G and B digital values may be sampled from the im-
age, and a Zebra exposure indicator can be selected.
A composite RGB histogram is available, which appears below the main display area. This pro-
vides a view of the exposure distribution for the Red, Green and Blue channels.
A one light color correction panel permits adjustment of Color Temperature, Saturation, Contrast,
Brightness, Red Gain, Green Gain and Blue Gain. These parameters match those available in the
RED ONE™ camera.
Note: The range and resolution of these color correction parameters is greater than those avail-
able in the camera UI. This reflects the need for greater range and precision for the controls in
post-production than for monitoring images during image capture.
