What the thread found

• The BFD end uses a Lemo FFA.0S.304.CLAC42 connector with signal on pins 2 and 4
• The RED end uses a Lemo FGG.0B.304.CLAD42 connector with signal on pins 1 and 2
• Pin assignment between the two connectors is not critical because the connection operates as a relay contact closure that is polarity-independent

Depends on

• This information comes from a 2009 discussion and may not apply to current RED camera models or firmware versions
