SmallHD Camera Control Kit for RED DSMC2

SmallHD Camera Control Kit for RED DSMC2 puts deep camera menu access directly under your Cine 7, Indie 7 or 702 Touch touchscreen, replacing the RED sidekick with a single cable. The wired link employs RED Command Protocol (RCP2) via an 18 inch / 45 cm 9-pin-to-5-pin locking LEMO harness, ensuring full-duplex data at any frame rate. A non-transferable software licence, tied to one monitor, installs in seconds and is stored in PagesOS for offline activation.

Through the monitor you adjust run/stop, frame rate, resolution, ISO, shutter angle, white balance, colour temperature, playback, status and full menu navigation. Every command writes straight to the DSMC2 brain, so waveform, histogram and false-colour overlays update the moment you touch the glass—ideal for fast lighting moves on set or live jobs where timing is critical.

Hardware is built for production realities: gold-plated LEMO contacts rated to 1 000 cycles, a micro-USB-to-5-pin adapter for legacy monitor revisions, plus a neoprene sleeve to keep the loom tidy in cases. The cable weighs only 95 g and arrives in a carton just 14.9 × 9.7 × 7.7 cm, fitting any ditty bag yet protecting the assembly with foam inserts . Inputs remain power-agnostic—the kit transports control signals only, leaving monitor power and video paths untouched.

Shifting critical camera functions onto a daylight-viewable 1 800 nit SmallHD display streamlines workflows: camera operators can trigger record while shoulder-mounted, focus-pullers can punch in while maintaining framing, and DITs can shade from video village with zero SDI delay. Whether you’re building a skinny gimbal rig for dynamic action or locking off multiple bodies for broadcast, the kit keeps the RED DSMC2 ecosystem agile, cable-light and collaborative. Covered by a one-year cable warranty and free firmware updates, it secures dependable RED control.
