Description
Designed for high-end cinema and video production, the RED WEAPON DSMC2 Woven Carbon Fiber 6K cinema camera features the DRAGON 6K Super-35 CMOS sensor and REDCODE RAW imaging pipeline. Shooting in 6K gives the production an edge in the post process, even in 4K deliverables, as shots can be re-framed in your NLE while keeping the material at 4K resolutions, or greater. VFX artists can also benefit from the extra resolution information.
REDCODE RAW is the format of choice for the WEAPON. RED’s versatile raw codec uses wavelet compression to reduce data rates while maintaining a visually lossless image rendering. This efficient codec can be edited on many available NLE software programs without transcoding, though if you prefer a proxy workflow, ProRes or DNx files can be recorded simultaneously to the MINI-MAG media.
Lowering the recording resolution allows the sensor to capture higher frame rates for dramatic slow-motion footage. Previous generation cameras required sensor windowing to record slow motion, requiring wider lenses to compensate for the crop factor. The WEAPON’s DRAGON sensor does not require windowing, allowing you to maintain a consistent frame while recording in lower resolutions.
All of the WEAPON’s power is enclosed in a relatively small body comprised of magnesium and aluminum. The brain’s size, or lack thereof, makes it very versatile. From studio tripod configuration to handheld and gimbal, drone, or vehicle mounted situations, the WEAPON can handle it all, providing cinema-grade high-resolution footage that punches above the camera’s weight.
