How To Remotely Control Your Red Camera from the Surface

Raptor & Komodo Cameras

For remote control and live monitoring of your RED Raptor or Komodo camera's the easiest way is to route one of the Nauticam Ethernet Cables (available in 5M and 45M lengths) from the camera up to the surface. At the surface you can use an Android or Apple mobile device along with the RED Control App for direct remote control and monitoring of the RED camera. 

 

Here's the components you'll need:

  • Ethernet Surface Cables:
    • 16261 Ethernet Surface Cable Set in 45m length (Incl. housing lemo bulkhead with integrated internal cable and external Duracell cables)
    • 16263 Ethernet Surface Cable Set in 5 meter length (Incl. housing lemo bulkhead with integrated internal cable and external Duracell cables)
  • Components for inside the Nauticam housing:
  • Components for operation at the surface
    • Android or Apple Mobile device, Ipad, or Tablet with RED Control App installed.
    • USB-C to Ethernet Adapter or Ethernet Router for connecting to the Android or Apple mobile device, Ipad, or Tablet.

DSMC & DSMC2 Cameras

There is a fully tested system for remote control and monitoring of RED DSMC1 & DSMC2 cameras that is easy to employ when using Nauticam housings at distances of up to 45 meters. The control interface can be an iPhone, iPad or MacBook utilizing the app “Fool Control” for iOS or MAC OS X. Fool Control allows full camera control, including focus control with EF lenses that have a focus motor.
