The RED Komodo camera  is supported for SDI video in Shogun Live. Full details of how to set up and use the camera can be found in the  Komodo Operation Guide . This document includes the extra information required to set up and use the camera with Vicon Shogun Live. Global shutter sensor This camera has a global shutter sensor which makes it particularly suitable for use with the calibrated video feature of Vicon Shogun Live. Sync and timecode To calibrate the camera in Shogun Live, both genlock and timecode are required. The camera requires the RED Komodo Expander Module to give easy access to genlock and timecode. Ensure this is fitted according to the manufacturer's instructions. Two cables are required to connect the timecode generator to the Komodo Expander module: one for genlock and one for timecode. Set up the required timecode Connect the timecode to the BNC connector labeled  Timecode .  This must be the LTC timecode from the port on the timecode generator labeled  TC ,  Timecode or  LTC . On the camera's onscreen display, select  Menu  >  Audio / TC  >  Timecode Source  and then select  External . Set up the required genlock Tri-sync genlock is supplied to the BNC connector labeled  Genlock . This must be tri-sync genlock from the port on the timecode generator, usually labeled  Sync N  or  Tri-Black N . Check timecode and genlock Check these settings on the camera display: GEN  Must be green, indicating external sync is being received. TC  Must be green, indicating timecode is being received. SYNC  Must be green, indicating sensor is synced with timecode and the camera's output is synced with genlock. Any other colors (gray, red, yellow, etc) indicate a setup problem, which may not be immediately apparent in Shogun Live but which will cause problems for capturing calibrated video later. For more detailed information including the meaning of each status color, see the  Komodo Operation Guide . Status On-screen display Explanation Genlock and timecode being received

 Fix problems with camera setup before capturing or calibrating in Shogun Live. Timecode being received but not genlock Neither timecode or genlock being received Important   Shogun Live does not visually indicate whether the camera is getting a genlock signal and cannot tell whether the camera is getting external timecode or generating it internally, so you must check this on the camera itself. 
 Set up the SDI output Connect the SDI output to the capture PC's capture card. If multiple outputs are required (eg, for a monitor), we recommend using an SDI distribution amplifier. Set resolution and frame rate To set the resolution for the SDI output, on the camera's onscreen display select  Menu  >  Monitoring  >  SDI  >  Resolution .  To set the frame rate, select  Menu  >  Monitoring  >  SDI  >  Frequency . UHD and DCI   Shogun Live supports progressive video standards up to 4K, as long as a compatible capture card is used. However, it has been more rigorously tested with the UHD standards (1920 × 1080, 3840 × 2160) than the DCI standards (2048 × 1080, 4096 × 2160). Disable onscreen displays We strongly recommend that you disable all the monitoring features on the SDI output. The onscreen display can interfere with calibrating in Shogun Live, unless the text is masked, and if the display features are changed after calibrating, the calibration may be invalidated. On the camera's onscreen display, select  Menu  >  Monitoring  >  SDI . Change all of  Guides ,  Tools , and  Overlay  to  0  (red color, meaning off).
