RED Digital Camera Unveils WEAPON

RED Digital Camera has unveiled the newest member of its 6K DRAGON range, WEAPON, at this year's NAB Show.

Combining a refined colour science with the range of the 19 megapixel RED DRAGON sensor, WEAPON features an array of performance enhancements including simultaneous on-board REDCODE RAW and Apple ProRes recording (4444 XQ, 4444, 422 HQ, 422 and 422 LT), as well as 1D and 3D LUTs for precise colour matching.

The BRAIN itself has been redesigned for modular performance and features on-board audio recording, improved thermal management, new interchangeable OLPFs with smart detection, an integrated top plate, and built-in WiFi functionality. Capable of faster data rates with the RED MINI-MAG SSD cards, WEAPON also offers tethered streaming ProRes via Ethernet while concurrently archiving R3D masters. It also offers a number of operating improvements such as automatic sensor calibration with a wider operating band for sensor temperature and improved low light performance.

Available in a Magnesium or Carbon Fiber editions, WEAPON will be offered as both an upgrade for existing customers as well as a new camera option. Customers who place a deposit during the week of NAB will also qualify for specialty pricing incentives and have an opportunity to preorder RED's 8K Sensor Upgrade at a special rate.
