RED V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount – 8K VV Global Shutter Cinema Camera

The RED V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount is a next-generation large-format digital cinema camera engineered for high-end narrative filmmaking, commercial production, live broadcast, and virtual production environments. Built around RED’s advanced 8K Vista Vision global shutter sensor and housed within the DSMC3 platform, this configuration pairs uncompromising image fidelity with the versatility of the Nikon Z lens ecosystem.

8K Vista Vision Global Shutter Sensor:
At its core is an 8K VV global shutter CMOS sensor that eliminates rolling shutter artifacts while preserving exceptional dynamic range and highlight detail. Capture full-frame 8K imagery with cinematic depth, refined tonal roll-off, and precise color science — ideal for premium streaming, theatrical release, and VFX-intensive workflows.

High Frame Rate Flexibility:
The V-RAPTOR [X] supports high frame rates across multiple resolutions, enabling smooth slow-motion capture while maintaining full image integrity. Whether shooting action sequences, stylized commercial content, or dynamic handheld footage, the camera delivers consistent motion rendering without skew or distortion.

Nikon Z Mount with Lens Versatility:
The reinforced Z mount provides secure lens attachment with electronic communication, supporting a broad range of Nikon Z lenses. Through compatible adapters, cinematographers can also integrate PL and other professional lens systems, expanding creative control across cinema and hybrid productions.

REDCODE RAW Workflow:
Record in REDCODE® RAW with adjustable compression settings, balancing image quality and storage efficiency. This codec provides extensive latitude for color grading, compositing, and finishing — ensuring maximum control in post-production.

Professional I/O & DSMC3 Integration:
Designed for modern production demands, the V-RAPTOR [X] includes 12G-SDI outputs, timecode, genlock, advanced IP control, and robust power integration within the DSMC3 architecture. This makes it ideal for multi-camera synchronization, LED volume stages, broadcast pipelines, and complex set environments.

Compact, Production-Ready Design:
Despite its large-format sensor and advanced capabilities, the V-RAPTOR [X] maintains a compact, rugged chassis optimized for professional rigging. It integrates seamlessly with gimbals, cranes, drones, studio builds, and handheld configurations.
