SmallHD Camera Control Kit for RED RCP2 (Indie)

The SmallHD Camera Control Kit for RED RCP2 is a specialized solution designed for seamless integration between SmallHD Indie 5 monitors and RED DSMC3 series cameras, such as KOMODO, KOMODO-X. This kit enables direct, real-time control over camera settings via the monitor’s touchscreen, streamlining on-set workflows and reducing the need for additional control devices.

At its core, the kit includes a software license that activates the camera control functionality on compatible SmallHD monitors. This allows operators to access and adjust critical camera parameters—such as run/stop, white balance, ISO, shutter speed, frame rate, and recording formats—directly from the monitor interface. The intuitive PageOS 4 operating system ensures that these controls are easily accessible and responsive, facilitating quick adjustments during shooting.

Physically, the kit provides the necessary connectivity through a RED EXT 9-pin to SmallHD 5-pin USB camera-control cable. These components establish a reliable communication link between the camera and monitor, ensuring stable and secure control. The cables are designed to maintain signal integrity and withstand the rigors of professional production environments.

For optimal performance, ensure that your RED camera firmware is updated to version 1.4 or higher and that your SmallHD monitor firmware is version 4.4.3 or newer. This compatibility guarantees full functionality and access to all control features. The kit is an essential tool for cinematographers and camera operators seeking efficient, integrated control over RED camera systems.
