The XE offers compatibility with V-RAPTOR accessories.

Explore RED Cameras with Premier Nikon Z Mount
Conference-goers can experience the RED V-RAPTOR [X], V-RAPTOR XE, and KOMODO-X with Nikon’s Z Mount. These newer camera variants offer tremendous flexibility in lens selection and provide a comprehensive capture solution — from lens to sensor to codec. With a shallower flange depth and a wider diameter, the Nikon Z Mount enables lens designs with higher sharpness and superior aberration control. The Z lens delivers unrivaled low-light performance and edge-to-edge detail, as well as autofocus performance on both the V-RAPTOR [X] and KOMODO-X cameras.
RED’s Cine-Broadcast Module with Advanced Color Pipeline Makes Show Debut
Bringing filmic, full-frame imagery to live-broadcast workflows worldwide, RED’s Cine-Broadcast Module supports live broadcasting of up to two channels of 4K 60P (HDR/SDR) via 12G-SDI and IP broadcasting compliant with SMPTE ST 2110 (TR-08) and up to a 4K 60P JPEG-XS feed. It features a robust LEMO SMPTE 311M/304M hybrid fiber optical cable connector linked to a rack-mountable 2U full rack or 4U half rack base station. The module further expands workflows with advanced slow motion, AI/ML enhancements, and real-time 8K 120FPS R3D streaming through the RED Connect license-enabled feature.
Visitors to the stand will see the advanced Broadcast Color pipeline, which facilitates live painting of RED cameras in broadcast or streaming environments and allows for on-demand adjustments and multi-camera color matching using traditional broadcast controls. This latest functionality comes in a firmware update for RED’s V-RAPTOR XL and V-RAPTOR cameras and utilizes industry-standard RCPs to control painting parameters in real time over IP, while saving information per frame in the recorded file’s metadata.
The Cine-Broadcast Module, which will be available in India in 2026, has recently been deployed on events broadcast by CBS Sports, NBC Sports Group, and MotoAmerica.
“Broadcast India is a vital platform for engaging with broadcasters and filmmakers across the region,” noted Jeff Goodman, RED vice president of product management. “User insights are central to our development process — recent firmware updates, including improvements in thermal management and media reliability, were driven by feedback from creators in India. The cinema market in India continues to be a key influence on RED’s innovation roadmap, and we’re excited to connect in person with our community at this year’s show.”
All of RED’s latest technologies — and more — will be on display at stand E05, alongside brand partner Nikon, on the Broadcast India show floor.
