COLOR

Saturation: Adjusts color saturation. Range is 0.0 (monochrome) to 4.0 (super color). Default is 1.0.

Contrast: Adjusts the overall contrast of the image. Range is –1.0 (flat) to 1.0 (max contrast). Default is 0.0.

Brightness: Adjusts brightness without crushing highlights. Available range is –10.0 to 10.0. Default is 0.0.

Exposure: Adjusts exposure compensation. Available range is –7.0 to 7.0. Default is 0.0.
GAIN
Adjust the Red channel, Blue channel, and Green channel individually. The range for each is 0.0 (none of the
color) to 10.0, and the default for each is 1.0.
FLUT
Use the FLUT menu to adjust ISO, FLUT, and Shadow. For more information, see the following articles:

cameras

ISO (NATIVE)
Select the camera ISO rating. The sensitivity value increments in 1/3 stops. When the ISO rating is adjusted,
the camera logs the change as metadata and the monitor path reacts accordingly. Higher ISO values lead to
brighter images in the monitor path, and vice versa.
RED recommends setting the ISO to the default, then adjust the F stop, lighting, and ND filters to match. The
ISO can later be adjusted around one (1) stop for fine-tuning.

MYSTERIUM-X: Range is ISO 250 to 12,800. Default is ISO 800.

RED DRAGON: Range is ISO 250 to 12,800. Default is ISO 800.
 MONOCHROME and RED DRAGON MONOCHROME: Range is ISO 250 to 12,800. Default is ISO 2000.
FLUT
Floating Point Lookup Table (FLUT) is an exposure control exclusive to RED. FLUT works like a traditional
ISO setting, but can be fine-tuned in post-production to any level of exposure precision. FLUT automatically
protects highlights and shadows, even when changed substantially.
The FLUT setting is expressed in terms of relative exposure value (EV), where each unit represents a 1-stop
change in mid-tone exposure level. Range is –8.0 to 8.0. Default is 0.0.
SHADOW
Shadow adjusts the toe value of the FLUT (the tone near black). Increasing the Shadow value raises the video
level of near blacks. Lowering the Shadow value crushes the video level of near blacks. Range is –2.0 to 2.0.
Default is 0.0.
SHARPNESS
Control the sharpness of each monitor output. Move to the left for a sharper image; move to the right for a less
sharp image.
CURVES
Define the individual curves for the Luma, Red, Green, and Blue channels. You can only adjust one (1) curve at
a time. Select Reset Curve to reset a curve.
NOTE: Luma is the only channel on BRAINs with MONOCHROME or RED DRAGON MONOCHROME sensors.
