Full size 8K / 120p Cinema camera, V-Raptor, V-Raptor!

RED Full Frame Sensor 8K Camera, V-Raptor will be released.It adopts a platform of the same generation as Komodo, is a camera that is the DSMC 3 generation, and is the center of the future Red Digital Cinema.In mid -October, I interviewed Mr. Tsuruta of RAID RAID.

Report ◎ Ichiyanagi

Speaking of the RED full frame 8K camera so far, Monstro 8K VV.MONSTRO was about 8.5 million yen in a minimum configuration, while V-Raptor is in the lower 3 million yen range, and the price is less than half the price.It adopts the same new platform as Komodo, which was launched just one year ago, and has a higher quality, high frame, all -in -one box type body for the DSMC2 platform.It also features a common part with KOMODO, such as using Wi-Fi control and RF mount.In the DSMC2 platform, the sensor was replaced and the mount was changed according to the evolution of the sensor, but V-Raptor was a new body shape, platform, and sensor.So, in order to be a new design, you can not upgrade by replacing sensors from DSMC2 generations.

The V-Raptor sensor is a full-size sensor that supports 8k/120p reading, supports real 17STOP and 16bit linear RAW.Rolling shutter distortion is suppressed because reading speed reading is twice as high as the conventional.

このコンパクトなボディに8K120fps、4K240fps、2K2:4:1なら600fpsのハイスピードがR3D 16bitリニアRAW収録できるのは魅力的だ。

Let's look at the actual machine.

The shape of the box type has a fan on the top, a panel for setting on the right side, and a battery mounting part and terminals on the rear.At the time of the interview, there was no dedicated monitor yet.

Select sensor size.8K in full size, 6K record for super 35 size.

The mount is an RF mount with an electronic contact.The mount part has a lock mechanism.

The back terminal part.Until now, RED cameras have been output from SDI up to full HD, but V-Raptor has two 12-SDI.4K/60p output is possible.The audio adopts a 5pin mini XLR terminal.The camera of the RED so far is simple 3.5mmのマイク端子があるだけだったが、今後リリース予定の別売オーディオケーブルにより、48V電源供給も可能なXLR対応となるそうだ。

AF is possible by installing an RF lens

As mentioned above, the mount is a Canon RF mount.AF is also possible by installing an RF lens.

Camera control from a smartphone using Wi-Fi adopted from komodo.

The recording media is CFEXPRESS, but be careful

これまでのREDのカメラは専用メディアだったが、V-RAPOTRは汎用規格であるCFexpress。ただし、使用可能なメディアはREDが承認/互換認定された物のみに限られるそうだ(V-RAPTORに限らず、KOMODO含めRED全機種)。メディアやバッテリーなど電子接点付き周辺機器は、カメラ本体との通信がログとして本体に残るそうで、認定外周辺機器を使って故障が起きると本体保証が無くなるので、使用する周辺機器しっかり確認が必要だ。ちなみに660GBのCFexpressカードで8K RAW記録で20分弱くらいの記録時間。

Compare the body of V-Raptor and Komodo

Let's compare the KOMODO 6K (super 35 sensor) and the V-Raptor body that appeared last fall.KOMODO has an liquid crystal display for setting on the top, but V-Raptor has a fan there and the configuration display is on the right.

V-raptor is also compact enough, but when you line it up, the compactness of KOMODO stands out.

V-Raptor and Komodo have the same camera generation, the same operability, and the common color science, so it is likely that both models will be used together.

Combination with Tokina Cinarens

In the case of a full -size sensor, cinelene options are inevitably narrowed.It was only very expensive, and I couldn't balance the price with the 3 million yen range V-raptor, but Tokinner's cinelender is full size or more 46..It has a 7mm large image circle and supports most video cameras, including the Vistavision format.Tokina Vista T1.5 Prime lenses are available in 18, 25, 35, 40, 50, 65, 85, 105, and 135mm.For example, it costs 690,000 yen for 50mm and 35mm for 720,000 yen.

The best thing for KOMODO is the Cinema Zoom Lens of Tokina, 11-20mm T2.9 has a particularly reputation for other companies, but in addition to 50-135mm, a new 25-75mm T2.9 has appeared.Unfortunately, we could not see the actual thing here, but the appearance of the range in the range that was missing seems to be used on site as a zoom lens of Komodo 6K, 8k RED helium, black magic design.

A black version was also announced

Finally, as additional information, a black version of V-Raptor was also announced.The visual image looks like this.
