RED V-RAPTOR XL [X] 8K Cinema Camera Production Pack (V-Lock)

RED V-RAPTOR XL [X] 8K VistaVision Cinema Camera

The RED V-RAPTOR XL [X] Production Pack (V-Lock) pairs large-format 8K capture with monitoring, audio connection, and rigging accessories. Its 35.4 megapixel global shutter CMOS sensor records 8192 x 4320 effective pixels across a 40.96 mm x 21.60 mm VistaVision sensor area, with 17+ stops of dynamic range. The global shutter exposes the whole frame at once, helping fast motion and quick pans retain their shape without rolling shutter skew. The XL body brings power, monitoring, and synchronization connections together for narrative, commercial, action, and virtual production work.

High Frame Rate Acquisition and RAW Workflow

REDCODE RAW reaches 120 fps at 8K 17:9 and 150 fps at 8K 2.4:1. At 17:9, recording reaches 160 fps at 6K, 240 fps at 4K and 480 fps at 2K, with lower resolution sensor windows providing higher frame rates. HQ, MQ, LQ, and ELQ settings offer recording choices according to resolution and frame rate. Dedicated Apple ProRes recording reaches 4096 x 2160 at 120 fps, while CFexpress Type B media supports data rates up to 800 MB per second with qualified cards. IPP2, 3D LUT and CDL support provide tools for managing color from capture through finishing.

Electronic ND, PL Mount and RED Global Vision

A motorized clear filter and electronic ND system provide 2 to 7 stops of filtration in 1/4 stop, 1/3 stop or full stop increments, helping operators follow changing light without changing aperture. The interchangeable, shimmable PL mount supports compatible cinema lenses. RED Global Vision includes Extended Highlights for additional highlight detail and Phantom Track for separate R3D clips in supported LED frame remapping workflows. Phase detection autofocus with face detection depends on compatible lens and mount support.

V-Lock Power and Production Connections

The V-Lock interface accepts compatible 14 volt and 26 volt batteries. Regulated 12 volt and 24 volt auxiliary outputs require a high-voltage power source. Three 12G-SDI outputs and a separate 3G-SDI EVF output support monitoring, while genlock, LTC, PTP, RCP2, and Ambient Communication Network connectivity support synchronized setups. The camera records dual-channel, 24 bit, 48 kHz audio. Gigabit Ethernet, USB-C and Wi-Fi support remote operation and connected workflows, including supported Frame.io and Amazon S3 uploads. Optional RED Connect hardware enables additional live IP workflows and is separate from this pack.

DSMC3 RED Touch LCD and Audio Accessories

The included DSMC3 RED Touch 7.0-inch LCD and LCD hood provide an onboard viewing setup. The 18-inch DSMC3 RMI cable supports the monitor connection, and the DSMC3 RED 5-Pin to Dual XLR Adapter provides audio connection options for the camera system.

V-RAPTOR XL Rigging Accessories

The XL riser plate, XL top handle, top handle extensions, and top and bottom 15 mm rod support brackets supply components for building a production rig around the V-Lock camera. The included monitor, audio, and rigging accessories complement the camera platform in one manufacturer's Production Pack.
