automatic control of red one

[Adam Freeman]

Hello Everybody,
I am new to this forum but I am actually one of the developers who worked on one of the previous versions of REDCINE-X. I have a couple of questions about remote control of the red one camera.

- Is there any way to power up or shut down the red one without having to manually push the power button? For instance, can you send a signal to the (GPIO) auxiliary power output or auxiliary/RS232 to power it up or shut it down?

- Is there any way to reformat the media without going to the Media menu and using the joystick to click format. For example, can you override what the GPIO port does and then send a signal to the pins in order to reformat the compact flash?

Thank you,
