RED Weapon Monstro 8K VV

The RED Weapon Monstro 8K VV (Vista Vision) is RED’s premier sensor. It provides cinematic Full Frame lens coverage and delivers 17+ stops of dynamic range. The DSMC2® BRAIN is capable of data write speeds of 300 MB/s, can simultaneously record in REDCODE RAW and Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR/HD, delivering incredible dynamic range and up to 8K resolution.

RED Monstro Operating Manual


RED Weapon Monstro 8K VV:

The RED Weapon Monstro 8K VV can also use Super35 lenses with a windowed capture area for high frame rate recording. Sitting in front of the full-frame sensor is an interchangeable PL mount. Accordingly, this way you can use industry-standard cinema lenses right out of the box or exchange the mount to use alternative photo and video lenses. REDCODE RAW is the format of choice for DSMC2 cameras. 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.

The MONSTRO 8K VV offers recording rates ranging from 12 fps and up, including 24/25/30/48/50/60 fps and higher. Therefore, the cornerstone of RED’s workflow is the robust REDCODE RAW file format. Since REDCODE RAW has been around since the days of the RED ONE cinema camera, many common NLE software programs including Adobe Premiere Pro, Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve, Apple Final Cut Pro, and Avid Media Composer can import and edit REDCODE RAW footage without transcoding, saving production time in the edit suite.
