RED DRAgON SENSOR (6K)

The RED DRAGON (6K) sensor captures over nine (9) times more resolution than standard HD. The result is

unrivaled detail and impressive native exposure that exceeds 35mm film in both latitude and image density.

The RED DRAGON (6K) sensor is a model for image innovation, leading the way in the evolution of digital cinema

technology. Boasting an industry-leading 19 megapixels at 6K resolution, the RED DRAGON (6K) supports

100+ frames per second (FPS), 16.5+ stops of dynamic range, and advanced color science.

RED DRAgON SENSOR (8K)

The RED DRAGON (8K) sensor delivers the Full Ultra HD (FUHD) experience for cinema. This sensor captures

8K 2.40:1 at up to 75 FPS.

NOTE: The RED DRAGON 8K sensor is only available with the WEAPON (Carbon Fiber).

R3D FILE FORMAT AND REDCODE

The R3D file format was developed by RED to provide an efficient and manageable RAW video data format that

promotes advanced post-production editing capabilities. In the R3D file format, the digital image received from

the sensor is formatted as a pixel-defect corrected (but in all other aspects unprocessed) 16-bit per pixel RAW

data frame. Each RAW frame, or sequence of RAW frames in a clip, is compressed using a proprietary wavelet

based REDCODE

RAW compression, then stored to a RED MINI-MAG
