The following provides a full list of cameras and notable accessories manufactured under the Red Digital Cinema Company brand.
Some models have different body variants: Aluminum Alloy, Forged or Woven Carbon Fiber and Magnesium and some have a custom-colored limited editions.
The Red One was Red Digital Cinema’s first production camera. [1] Using a S35mm image plane, the Red One displays a natural depth of field from 2K to over 4K resolutions. [2]
The first Red Ones were outfitted with the 12 megapixel Mysterium sensor, capable of capturing up to 120 frames per second at 2K resolution and 30 frames per second at 4K resolution. [3] The only possible acquisition format is Redcode Raw. The cameras were initially sold with a CF card slot that later could be replaced with a RedMag module. The second generation, Red One Mysterium-X has a 14 megapixel Mysterium-X sensor. It captures up to 120 frames per second at 2K resolution and up to 30 frames per second at 4K resolution. With the upgraded sensor, the Red One Mysterium-X offers more dynamic range, higher sensitivity and enhanced color management tools than the Red One Mysterium. [4]

Red has also made custom cameras for a few filmmakers, including Michael Bay's "Bayhem" Helium 8K and David Fincher’s Red Xenomorph. [12]
Up to this point, Red deployed a tick tock strategy. Red stated sensors are their most important asset.[ citation needed ] The Dragon sensor received a score of 101 DxO Mark sensor rating. [13] This marked the first time a digital cinema camera was tested alongside leading stills cameras. [14] For economical reasons Scarlet-W and Dragon-X cameras have the same 6K Dragon sensor used in the original DSMC generation, [15] but only 5K image area of it is utilized in Scarlet-W. [16] Red Raven has a "hard" 4.5K sensor. [15]

Redcode Raw (.r3d) is a proprietary file format that employs wavelet compression to reduce the raw data coming off the sensor. This allows reduced file sizes while still keeping all advantages of a non-destructive raw workflow. In the beginning Redcode was a JPEG2000 12bit linear file stream with PCM sound without encryption. Several third party applications were able to read and convert to other file format such as Cineform Raw. Redcode started as having two different options, named Redcode 28 and Redcode 36, later a 42 option was added. With the introduction of the DSMC line these options were replaced by compression ratios. [17]
With the DSMC line HDRx was introduced as extension to Frame Summing asset, allowing the shooter to get up to 6 extra stops of dynamic range on a shot.[ citation needed ]

Announced at NAB 2013 and launched in 2014, The RCP Development Kit is a SDK (software development kit) that allows programmers to create custom applications to control their camera via mobile device, computer, or micro-controller. The kit included the RCP Bridge, a wireless module that allows apps to communicate with the camera. The bridge supports a wireless communication range of approximately 50 feet. [18]
Redcine-X Pro is a free-of-charge post-processing software collection developed by Red, built specifically for Red camera systems. It includes a coloring toolset, integrated timeline, and post effects software collection for both stills and motion. The post-production software allows for non-destructive manipulation of raw .R3D files. [19] Redcine-X was the first workflow software developed solely by Red. Like Redcine, Red offered it as an end-to-end workflow solution for Red customers. It preceded the current Redcine-X Pro.
With Redcine-X Pro, users can mark frames while shooting and access those specific frames within their timeline. Additionally, there are features like A.D.D. (Advanced Dragon Debayer), a new algorithm for Dragon that analyzes every pixel, plus grading and raw adjustment options. [20]
"Red Alert!" was the first form of workflow made available to Red owners/operators, though it was more of a diagnostic tool. It allowed Red One users to tweak debayer settings and render out to dpx/tiff/mov. [21]
Redcine was the first end-to-end workflow for Red users. A third-party company developed the software, and Red provided the SDK.
Red Rocket is an internal PCI Express card that is capable of 4K, 2K, or 1080p real-time debayering and video playback of R3D files coming from Mysterium and Mysterium-X sensors. It can be used to accelerate video editing in compatible Non-linear editing systems, outputting the image via HD-SDI to a user-supplied monitor. A component of the Red Rocket allows users to convert the HD-SDI signal to four HDMI outputs. [22]
Red Rocket-X is an internal PCI Express card optimized for the 6K Dragon sensor and is designed to accelerate the processing of R3D workflow, regardless of resolution. Compared to Red Rocket, Red Rocket-X processes and transcodes files up to five times faster. [22]
Debayering subpar asset.[ citation needed ]
Red offers the Red Apple Workflow Installer, which allows R3D Raw settings within Final Cut Pro X. Other applications include support for QuickTime to use .R3D files, and plugins for Adobe Photoshop, [23] Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro X, and Sony Vegas Pro.
The Red 3-Axis lens control system is a turn-key wireless lens control kit for driving focus, iris and zoom. Included is the T.H.C. (Tactical Hand Controller), a wireless remote that allows the operator to adjust lens settings from a distance. [24]
Image resolution is the level of detail of an image. The term applies to digital images, film images, and other types of images. "Higher resolution" means more image detail. Image resolution can be measured in various ways. Resolution quantifies how close lines can be to each other and still be visibly resolved. Resolution units can be tied to physical sizes, to the overall size of a picture, or to angular subtense. Instead of single lines, line pairs are often used, composed of a dark line and an adjacent light line; for example, a resolution of 10 lines per millimeter means 5 dark lines alternating with 5 light lines, or 5 line pairs per millimeter. Photographic lens are most often quoted in line pairs per millimeter.
Red Digital Cinema, LLC is an American camera manufacturer specializing in digital cinematography headquartered in Foothill Ranch, California, United States. It has been owned by Nikon since April 2024.
The Dalsa Origin was the first camera designed and built by Dalsa Corporation to be used specifically for digital cinematography.
Digital cinematography is the process of capturing (recording) a motion picture using digital image sensors rather than through film stock. As digital technology has improved in recent years, this practice has become dominant. Since the mid-2010s, most movies across the world are captured as well as distributed digitally.
A camera raw image file contains unprocessed or minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, a motion picture film scanner, or other image scanner. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed, and contain large amounts of potentially redundant data. Normally, the image is processed by a raw converter, in a wide-gamut internal color space where precise adjustments can be made before conversion to a viewable file format such as JPEG or PNG for storage, printing, or further manipulation. There are dozens of raw formats in use by different manufacturers of digital image capture equipment.
A motion picture film scanner is a device used in digital filmmaking to scan original film for storage as high-resolution digital intermediate files.
1440p is a family of video display resolutions that have a vertical resolution of 1440 pixels. The p stands for progressive scan, i.e. non-interlaced. The 1440 pixel vertical resolution is double the vertical resolution of 720p, and one-third more than 1080p. QHD or WQHD is the designation for a commonly used display resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio. As a graphics display resolution between 1080p and 4K, Quad HD is regularly used in smartphone displays, and for computer and console gaming.
Panavision has been a manufacturer of cameras for the motion picture industry since the 1950s, beginning with anamorphic widescreen lenses. The lightweight Panaflex is credited with revolutionizing filmmaking. Other influential cameras include the Millennium XL and the digital video Genesis.
Spirit DataCine is a telecine and a motion picture film scanner. This device is able to transfer 16mm and 35mm motion picture film to NTSC or PAL television standards or one of many High-definition television standards. With the data transfer option a Spirit DataCine can output DPX data files. The image pick up device is a solid state charge-coupled device. This eliminated the need for glass vacuum tube CRTs used on older telecines. The units can transfer negative film, primetime, intermediate film and print film, stock. One option is a Super 8 gate for the transfer of Super 8 mm film. With a sound pick up option, optical 16mm and 35mm sound can be reproduced, also 16mm magnetic strip sound. The unit can operate stand alone or be controlled by a scene by scene color corrector. Ken Burns created The Civil War, a short documentary film included in the DVD release, on how he used the Spirit DataCine to transfer and remaster this film.
