RED ALERT!
The RED ALERT application performs white balance and one light color correction and exports
4K and 2K resolution 10 bit DPX and 16 bit TIFF files. RED ALERT also creates color corrected
QuickTime reference movies for playback in other applications, such as QuickTime Player, that
use the REDCODE RAW QuickTime component described above.
The upper panel in the display provides information about the video levels in the selected clip.
Exposure and White Balance may be altered, R G and B digital values may be sampled from
the image, and a Zebra exposure indicator can be selected – the default value is set at 95%
A composite RGB histogram may be selected which appears below the main display area. This
provides an interactive view of the exposure distribution for each of the R G B channels.
A one light color correction panel permits adjustment of Color Temperature, Saturation, Con-
trast, Brightness, R Gain, G Gain and B Gain. These parameters match those available in the
RED-ONE camera. The range and resolution of these parameters may be greater than those
available in the camera UI. This reflects the desirability for greater range and precision for the
controls in post-production than are required for monitoring in image capture.
