  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Making sense of raw gyro data

Hi there,
I'm attempting to build a process to identify when our DP flips our REDs upsidedown and vice versa on the mechanical gimbal while shooting. Not looking to stabilize like gyroflow or anything; just need to get the data into our editing software. I'm pulling the metadata via REDline's "-printMeta 7" command (see here).

It works, but I'm getting a ton of data lines output (example below), and I can't identify what number represents which movement axis (pitch, yaw, roll, whatever).

Does anyone have a guide for this?

The printMeta 7 switch writes the data in CSV format, so the first line is a headings line that describes the numbers in the 'columns' separated by comma:

Timestamp,Acceleration X,Acceleration Y,Acceleration Z,Rotation X,Rotation Y,Rotation Z
