RED DIGITAL CINEMA V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Camera (V-Mount)

The RED DIGITAL CINEMA V-RAPTOR X 8K VV Camera (V-Mount) combines the strengths of RED's two families of cameras into one powerful all-purpose workhorse. The frame rates, lowlight performance, and resolution of the V-Raptor line combined with the global shutter advancements of KOMODO, the V-RAPTOR X 8K VV sensor is the culmination of the latest advancements in digital camera image making. Using RED's newest 8K VV sensor, V-RAPTOR X leverages the benefits and flexibility of large format, global shutter, high framerate, 8K acquisition, all inside of a compact and feature rich body weighing just over 4lbs.

New Large-Format Standard

This first large-format global shutter camera is built around the same key features of the original V-RAPTOR, including a locking Canon RF lens mount, two unique 12G-SDI monitoring outputs, and dual CFexpress Type B card slots that support up to 8K120 capture. The V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV also features a redesigned sensor cavity that mitigates stray light and improves contrast, plus improved in-camera audio preamps.

RED Global Vision

With the V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV, RED has introduced its Global Vision suite of tools that uses the global shutter sensor to offer even greater flexibility and ease of use throughout your production process. These tools include Extended Highlights for increasing detail, producing finer HDR finishes or softer, more subtle highlight roll-offs when using SDR.

Phantom Track

The Phantom Track function streamlines any virtual production workflow using GhostFrame or frame remapping, capturing distinct R3D clips for each subframe slice in addition to enabling monitoring of either slice live on set over each SDI output. This enables your director and talent to work with the aid of a greenscreen background while the VF/X team can simultaneously view the frame without having to view or lock in that background. Phantom Track can also be used when applying dedicated ad overlays during a live broadcast.

Advanced Connectivity

The V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV uses a DSMC3 platform to offer advanced connectivity solutions like remote control, remote monitoring, in-camera Frame.io integrations, AWS (Amazon Web Services) direct upload, RED Connect for live 8K R3D video over IP or live 4K via SMPTE ST 2110, and more.
