RED DIGITAL CINEMA KOMODO Monochrome 6K Camera (* DEMO UNIT *)

The RED DIGITAL CINEMA KOMODO Monochrome 6K Camera delivers a specialized cinematic imaging experience designed for filmmakers seeking the distinctive character of black-and-white cinematography. Built around a 6K Super 35mm monochrome Global Shutter CMOS sensor, this camera combines the professional capabilities of the original KOMODO 6K with a dedicated monochrome imaging system for narrative filmmaking, commercial productions, music videos, and creative visual storytelling.

At the heart of the camera is its 6K Super 35mm Global Shutter sensor, which captures all pixels simultaneously to eliminate the rolling shutter distortion commonly associated with fast-moving subjects and camera movements. The monochrome sensor is designed specifically for black-and-white image capture, allowing cinematographers to explore dramatic lighting, tonal contrast, textures, and shadow detail without relying on conventional color-to-monochrome conversion.

The KOMODO Monochrome supports 6K recording in a 17:9 aspect ratio at up to 40 fps, along with 4K 17:9 recording at up to 60 fps, providing flexible options for high-resolution cinema production. Professional recording formats include REDCODE RAW with HQ, MQ, and LQ compression options, as well as Apple ProRes 422 and ProRes 422 HQ at resolutions up to 4K60p. RED's IPP2 image processing pipeline further supports a professional post-production workflow with extensive image control.

Featuring a versatile Canon RF lens mount, the camera accommodates compatible RF lenses and can be adapted for professional cinema lenses using compatible RF-to-PL adapters. This flexibility allows filmmakers to integrate the KOMODO Monochrome into a variety of existing lens and production ecosystems.

Designed for compact and modular production setups, the camera records to CFast 2.0 media and features dual Canon BP-series battery slots for convenient power management. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for handheld shooting, gimbal configurations, remote camera placement, and other production environments where a smaller cinema camera is beneficial.

Combining dedicated 6K monochrome imaging, global shutter performance, REDCODE RAW recording, professional ProRes support, and flexible RF-mount compatibility, the RED KOMODO Monochrome 6K provides filmmakers with a powerful creative tool for producing striking black-and-white cinematic imagery.
