Audio RLink app for iPhone and iPad

Audio R-Link for iOS will allow you to monitor and control the audio recording levels in real-time while your RED® camera is recording, using only the audio controls found in the DMSC Brain and exposed by the REDLink® protocol to your iOS device. Audio R-Link will display the audio level data coming from the camera on two large VU meters in the applications interface.

As good as RED® cameras are, the audio functionality of the camera is often overlooked. The audio capabilities are quite robust and offer a high level of quality and control without adding extra equipment. There is a very decent digital audio recorder built into every DMSC® Brain. The added benefit of using this recorder is that you will not have to sync your audio with picture in post-production. It is embedded directly in the R3D® file. There is even 48 volt phantom power available that will drive all the high end microphones and even a Limiter that prevents wind or mic bumps from overdriving the audio recording.

All this good functionality was hampered by limited access to the camera’s audio controls, especially during filming. Audio R-Link exposes these audio controls, VU meters and status, and allows the user to take full advantage of the real-time audio capabilities of the camera. The only extra equipment needed is an appropriate microphone and cable. The RED DMSC® Brain and Audio R-Link will take care of all the rest.
