The V-RAPTOR XL features a new integrated XL component designed to support high-definition television, motion picture projects and projects that require an all-in-one solution.

The V-RAPTOR XL features the same multi-format 8K sensor found in the compact and modular V-RAPTOR body, allowing filmmakers to shoot 8K large format or 6K S35. According to RED, the sensor boasts the highest recorded dynamic range and cleanest shadow performance of any RED camera. The V-RAPTOR sensor’s scan time is 2x faster than the previous RED camera and allows users to capture up to 600fps in 2K (2.4:1 2048 x 864).

The V-RAPTOR XL uses REDCODE RAW encoding, allowing cinematographers to capture 16-bit RAW and use RED’s latest IPP2 workflow and color management. Like the RED KOMODO 6K and standard V-RAPTOR system, the V-RAPTOR XL continues to use the updated and streamlined REDCODE RAW settings (HQ, MQ and LQ) to improve the user experience with simple format choices optimized for different shooting conditions. and interests.

The XL integrated professional I/O array includes front-facing 3G-SDI, 2-Pin 12V and 3-Pin 24V auxiliary power outputs, and a GG-E connector for camera control and PTP sync.
