With the current firmware can we remotely start/stop the RED ONE? I have a commercial shoot coming up that will be mostly shot off a Jimmy Jib...what cable is working?

Evins got a way to remote start & stop....Originally Posted by Evin Grant
Client: Ford Motor CO.
Project: Theatrical commercial (Shown in theaters ahead of the movie)
Prod. Co.: Spy Films
Market: Canada & France
Director: Javier Aguilera
Director of Photography: Dion Beebe, ASC
Second Unit DP/B Cam Op.: Evin Grant
Redninjas: Blair S. Paulsen & Brook Willard
This has (and still is) an amazing shoot, the hours have been brutal but Dion is a genius. He deserves all the praise and it's obvious why he has an Oscar. I'm truly in awe. I can't reveal much about the actual commercial or show footy yet but here are some stills from the shoot.
I was operating the Wescam gyro helicopter mount from Pictorvision the first day. I used a cheap air bulb powered still camera release to run the camera.
The top rails came in very handy mounting the rain deflector upside down for use on the Scorpio head.
This is the Pursuit Arm (Porsche), not to be confused with the Ultimate Arm (Mecedes). Bitchen rig with the 1st AC & Driver in the front, Dion and Javier (Director) in the back and the Crane Op in the cargo area.
Top: Dion operating A Cam and myself on B Cam.
Middle left: The gentelman on the left is Key Grip Steve Cardellini, you might have used some of his great clamps.
Right: Blair S. Paulsen checking exposure.
Bottom:Even Dion's filter case is impressive.
Tomorrows the last shoot day, I'll give a final account then.

I saw that, I was hoping to use an electronic version.

I found the answer in the Red manual of all places...imagine that.
PG 48- RS-232 connector on camera

So has anyone used a Preston MDR-2 on the Red?

HI HOW YOU can control through rs232 ?with which unit you can do it ?

Preston makes part #4543. It's a RED remote cable from the 10 pin connector to the MDR2.
Don't know if its VTR start/stop in the 10 pin connector is enabled yet though.

We had remote start/stop on this shoot. Custom cable made using the side AUX port for trigger.
