RED Digital Cinema V-Raptor [X] 8K VV Global Shutter Camera Starter Pack with Monitor and CFexpress Card

The RED Digital Cinema V-Raptor 8K VV Global Shutter Camera Starter Pack with Monitor and CFexpress Card boasts the combined strengths of RED's two camera families, making it an all-purpose workhorse. With its impressive frame rates, lowlight performance, and resolution from the V-RAPTOR® line, as well as the global shutter advancements of KOMODO®, the V-RAPTOR 8K VV sensor features the latest advancements in digital cinema image-making. The camera utilizes RED's newest 8K VV sensor and offers the benefits and flexibility of large format, global shutter, high frame rate, 8K acquisition – all packed in a compact, feature-rich body weighing just over 4lbs.

The New Standard
V-RAPTOR is the first large format global shutter camera on the market and includes features like 2x 12G SDI's with unique monitoring views, a locking Canon RF-style lens mount for both rigid and flexible lens selection, and CFexpress Type B media for up to 800MB/s formats such as 8K 120P. The camera also boasts improved in-camera audio pre-amps and a redesigned sensor cavity that mitigates stray light and improves contrast performance, building upon the V-RAPTOR legacy.

Global Vision
V-RAPTOR 8K VV is pushed to new limits with RED Global Vision, a new suite of tools that use the global shutter sensor to provide even more flexibility and ease of use throughout the production process. Global Vision's Extended Highlights allows the camera to see even further into highlight detail, providing more detail for HDR finishes, or softer and more subtle highlight roll-off for SDR. RED Global Vision also includes Phantom Track, which streamlines any Virtual Production environment employing GhostFrame™ or Frame Remapping, capturing distinct R3D clips per each sub-frame slice. Additionally, it allows for monitoring of either slice live on-set over each SDI.

IP Connected
The V-RAPTOR and the DSMC3 platform features advanced connectivity solutions that enable applications such as remote control and monitoring, in-camera Frame.io integration, AWS direct upload, RED Connect for live 8K R3D video over IP, or live 4K over SMPTE ST 2110.
