RED Digital Cinema V-RAPTOR 8K S35 Camera Starter Pack

The RED Digital Cinema V-RAPTOR 8K S35 brings full 8K acquisition to the Super 35 format in the compact DSMC3 camera platform. Its 35.4 MP CMOS sensor captures 8192 x 4320 pixels and delivers 16.5 plus stops of dynamic range, giving cinematographers high resolution capture while preserving the lens choices, framing characteristics, and production flexibility associated with Super 35. The combination is suited to narrative, documentary, wildlife, broadcast, live production, and other workflows where resolution, frame rate flexibility, and compact camera builds are important.

8K Super 35 Capture and High Frame Rates

Capture REDCODE RAW at up to 120 fps in full 8K 17:9 or increase the frame rate to 150 fps when recording 8K 2.4:1. Lower resolution formats extend slow motion options to 240 fps at 4K 17:9, 320 fps at 3K 17:9, and 600 fps at 2K 2.4:1. The sensor records the full 35.4 MP image at 8K, giving productions using Super 35 lenses greater resolution for detailed masters, reframing, stabilization, visual effects, and other post production requirements. Dedicated Apple ProRes recording is also available in resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 for workflows that call for an alternative to REDCODE RAW.

REDCODE RAW and IPP2 Color Workflow

REDCODE RAW preserves 16 bit RAW sensor information for greater control over image development in post production. ISO, white balance, color, and other processing choices can be managed within a flexible RAW workflow instead of defining the final image during acquisition. RED Image Processing Pipeline 2 color management supports 33 x 33 x 33 3D LUTs and CDL import, providing a consistent path between camera monitoring, editorial, color grading, and finishing. REDCODE HQ, MQ, and LQ settings provide additional control over recording quality and media requirements across supported resolutions and frame rates.

RF Mount and Professional Production Integration

The integrated RF mount supports compatible RF lenses and Canon EF lenses through compatible RF to EF adapters. Qualified CFexpress media supports recording data rates up to 800 MB/s. Dual 12G SDI outputs provide 10 bit 4:2:2 monitoring at resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 at 60p, while the integrated EXT connection supports genlock, timecode input, GPIO, and RS 232 control. USB C and compatible Gigabit Ethernet connections enable wired camera control, live MJPEG preview, and remote media offload, while Wi-Fi supports wireless control and 1080p live preview through compatible RED software.

Compact DSMC3 Body and Starter Pack Configuration

The aluminum alloy camera body weighs 4.0 lb without the body cap and CFexpress card and measures 6 inches long by 4.25 inches wide by 4.25 inches high. Its integrated V Lock interface is optimized for REDVOLT MICRO V and compatible Micro V Lock batteries, while the 6 pin DC input accepts 11 to 17 V DC. An integrated 2.4 inch LCD provides direct camera control without requiring an external display for menu operation, while compatible DSMC3 monitoring can be added for image preview and on set operation. The Starter Pack configuration provides a streamlined entry point into the V-RAPTOR 8K S35 system for operators who need the camera platform and essential production support without moving to the more extensive Production Pack configuration.
