RED EPIC-W 8K Helium Camera Kit

$880

RED Epic-W with the HELIUM 8K Super 35 sensor — 16.5+ stops of dynamic range, 8K RAW recording, and frame rates up to 240fps at 2K.

Description

The RED Epic-W carries RED’s HELIUM 8K Super 35 sensor into the Epic Dragon body, giving productions an 8K workflow with strong low-light performance and dynamic range.

Sensor

The 35.4-megapixel HELIUM sensor shoots full-sensor 8K at up to 30fps, with data rates up to 295MB/s. Dynamic range reaches 16.5+ stops with a signal-to-noise ratio of 80dB. Because the sensor is Super 35 sized, existing Super 35 lenses cover the full 8K frame.

Recording and Frame Rates

The camera records REDCODE RAW at 8K alongside a simultaneous 4K ProRes or DNxHD/R proxy, simplifying post workflows. High-speed options include 75fps at 6K, 96fps at 5K, 120fps at 4K, 150fps at 3K and 240fps at 2K.
