RED Digital Cinema is currently scheduling upgrades for quarter one and beyond with special pricing available for WEAPON 8K S35 (limited edition) and also for the 8K VV ANA BRAINS. Also, note that all Carbon fiber WEAPON customers are now eligible to upgrade their sensor to MONSTRO 8K VV. MONSTRO has been described as the evolutionary step beyond the RED DRAGON 8K VV sensor with improvements in image quality, including dynamic range and shadow detail. RED is also accepting new orders for the recently-announced WEAPON with MONSTRO 8K VV sensor. Visit the RED Store for details.
The MONSTRO 8K VV SENSOR upgrade for WEAPON CF increases the shooting potential of your WEAPON BRAIN and upgrades your camera to WEAPON 8K VV. The MONSTRO 8K VV sensor enables you to shoot motion and stills in 8K 2.4:1 at up to 75 frames per second (fps), or 8K Full Format at 60 fps with a sensor size of 40.96 mm x 21.60 mm.
At full 8K resolution, the MONSTRO sensor captures 35.4 Megapixel motion and stills. An evolutionary step beyond previous 8K sensors, the MONSTRO sensor has improved overall image quality including dynamic range and shadow detail, and delivers the most advanced VFX solution—with unmatched creative flexibility, in-camera IPP2, with unreal blazing fast 300 MB/s data rates, and simultaneous REDCODE and 4K Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR recording.
