RED DIGITAL CINEMA KOMODO 6K Camera Starter Pack (with Batteries)

The RED DIGITAL CINEMA KOMODO 6K Camera Starter Pack (with Batteries) includes an RF to EF mechanical lens mount adapter, the electronic Canon EF-EOS R Mount Adapter with a drop-in variable ND filter, two Wing Grips, (2x) REDVOLT BP, an AC power adapter, a Mini World Travel Adapter Kit, one 512GB card, a card reader, and a timecode cable.

KOMODO 6K is the latest breakthrough product in RED's long line of innovative image capture technology. The newest entrant into the RED lineup is a compact, all-in-one, and highly powerful cinema camera. It features RED’s cinema-grade image quality, color science, and sensor technology in a portable form factor cinematographers can take anywhere and adapt to any shooting scenario. The new sensor in KOMODO is a 6K S35 global shutter CMOS sensor. This sensor breaks new technical ground by retaining a wide dynamic range and delivering unmatched RED imagery, without compromising creative or technical features. KOMODO includes a built-in Canon RF-style mount allowing users the flexibility to use RF-type lenses and several lens Adaptors, such as EF-type, PL, and Leica M mounts. The KOMODO records using R3D or ProRes formats are written to a CFast 2.0 media card. The RED KOMODO is powered by REDVOLT BP batteries or a power cable. Control the KOMODO features with the top LCD Touchscreen, or you can use the screen to watch the playback.

R3D FILE FORMAT AND REDCODE

All videos and frames are recorded in the R3D® file format. The R3D file format was developed by RED to provide an efficient and manageable RAW video data format that promotes advanced post-production editing capabilities. In the R3D file format, the digital image received from the sensor is formatted as a pixel-defect corrected (but in all other aspects unprocessed) 16-bit per pixel RAW data frame. Each RAW frame, or sequence of RAW frames in a clip, is compressed using proprietary REDCODE RAW compression, then stored in media. RAW data is recorded independently of any RGB domain color processing such as ISO, White Balance, or other RGB color space settings. Instead, color parameters are saved as reference metadata; that is, color is not burned into the recorded RAW data. This recording technique promotes flexibility in RGB color processing, which can be deferred to post-production or adjusted in the field, without affecting the recorded RAW data image quality or dynamic range. REDCODE is a compression codec that reduces R3D RAW files into a manageable size, allowing longer recording times on media. The ability to compress RAW data is one of the significant technologies that RED has brought to the industry.

GLOBAL SHUTTER

This camera employs global shutter technology. This technology exposes all of the sensor's pixels in each frame simultaneously, unlike a rolling shutter that exposes lines of pixels (each with a delay) causing image artifacts on fast-moving objects. Global shutter technology not only improves the visual appearance of this camera's images, but also eliminates tracking and matte-painting distortions during post-production.

IMAGE PROCESSING PIPELINE

This camera uses the new RED Image Processing Pipeline 2 (IPP2). In IPP2, the advanced RED color space (REDWideGamutRGB) allows the camera to use every color its sensor can generate without clipping. The camera then encodes the image using Log3G10, a gamma curve that retains extreme highlight and shadow detail. Using the advanced color space and gamma curve, RED IPP2 allows you to grade and make color adjustments in postproduction, instead of in-camera. IPP2 also allows the camera to use CDL for grading. For more information about IPP2, refer to the RED IPP2 support page.

SHOOT FOR VIDEO AND STILLS

High-resolution video, such as the digital footage captured by the camera, has surpassed the detail necessary to produce professional full-sized prints. Because of the ability to record at high frame rates and resolution, the camera is ideally suited to capture video and still images, simultaneously.
