RED Digital Cinema V-RAPTOR XL X 8K VV 35.4MP Camera (Gold Mount)

The RED V-RAPTOR XL [X] 8K VV pairs large format 8K capture with a global shutter sensor in RED's production oriented XL body. Its 35.4 MP CMOS sensor records up to 8192 x 4320 across a 40.96 x 21.6 mm Vista Vision area, with 17+ stops of dynamic range and up to 20+ stops using Extended Highlights. Because the global shutter exposes the whole frame at once, fast motion and quick pans hold their shape instead of skewing the way a line by line rolling shutter can. Clean motion and Vista Vision framing suit narrative, commercial, action, vehicle, visual effects, and virtual production work.

8K High Frame Rate Acquisition and REDCODE RAW

REDCODE RAW reaches 120 fps at 8K 17:9 and 150 fps at 8K 2.4:1, climbing to 160 fps at 6K, 240 fps at 4K, and 480 fps at 2K, with the sensor cropping in those higher speed modes. REDCODE HQ, MQ, and LQ add compressed options up to 8K at 59.94 fps, and Apple ProRes 4444 XQ, 4444, 422 HQ, 422, and 422 LT record up to 4096 x 2160, so teams can choose maximum finishing latitude or a faster editorial turnaround. A single CFexpress Type B slot handles up to 800 MB/s with RED branded or qualified cards.

Extended Highlights and Intelligent Autofocus

Extended Highlights recovers additional highlight information from the global shutter sensor, pushing dynamic range past 20 stops and giving colorists a finer roll off in HDR or a softer one in SDR. On sensor phase detection autofocus with face detection and in camera processing gives operators a dependable focus option for documentary and single operator setups.

Integrated Electronic ND and Interchangeable PL Mount

A motorized clear filter and electronic ND system cover 2 to 7 stops in 1/4, 1/3, or full stop increments, so operators can follow changing light without touching the aperture or swapping external filters mid shoot. The interchangeable mount ships with the shimmable V-RAPTOR XL ARRI PL Mount, ready for professional PL cinema lenses and established motion picture lens packages.

Gold Mount Power, Audio, and Production I/O

This Gold Mount configuration runs on standard 14 V or high voltage 26 V batteries. With high voltage power connected, regulated 12 V and 24 V auxiliary outputs feed accessories directly from the camera; on a 14 V battery the camera operates normally but those outputs stay disabled. Three 12G SDI outputs, an additional 3G SDI output, a dedicated EVF path, Genlock, LTC timecode, PTP, RCP2 control, and Ambient Communication Network connectivity support synchronized multi camera, studio, and broadcast environments. A rebuilt audio architecture with improved preamps and a 5 pin LEMO mic and line input records two channels at 24 bit, 48 kHz. The DSMC3 RED Touch 7.0 inch LCD is also supported.

Three Stage Cooling and Rugged Construction

Dedicated fans cool the camera electronics and auxiliary power components separately while a thermoelectric heat exchanger holds the sensor at a precise temperature, which means quieter operation, less black shading, and steadier performance. Water and dust resistant materials protect critical areas of the aluminum body.

Connected Production and RED Global Vision

Gigabit Ethernet, USB C, and Wi-Fi handle remote operation and media management, with in camera Frame.io integration and direct AWS upload for Camera to Cloud review. RED Connect adds live 8K R3D video over IP and live 4K through SMPTE ST 2110, and the RED Control and RED Control Pro apps for iOS and Android put monitoring and settings in the operator's hands. Phantom Track captures separate R3D clips for each subframe slice in GhostFrame and frame remapping workflows.

Netflix approved and built around the global shutter, 20+ stops, high frame rate REDCODE RAW, and integrated ND, the V-RAPTOR XL [X] 8K VV is ready for demanding cinema, studio, virtual production, and live production work.
