Red has two different production sectors in its sights at IBC: live broadcast and independent filmmakers, with its new Cine-Broadcast Module and V-Raptor XE respectively.
Jeff Goodman, VP Product Management, Red, said: “The XE is essentially a streamlined version of our V-Raptor X camera. We’ve taken the essential components that are needed for cinema and distilled it down to that,” with half the frame rates and none of the broadcast features found in the V-Raptor X. “It’s at a really attractive price point for independent creators that want the pinnacle of image quality, but don't need all of the other premium features that the V-Raptor X has.” At $14,995, it’s about half the price. However, it is twice the price of its current offering in that market, the Super35-size Komodo, but “the larger-format, VistaVision, higher-image quality sensor [of the XE], is a big step up.”
The Cine-Broadcast Module is already being used for sports and music productions, marrying the cinematic look of Red’s large-format global shutter sensor cameras with live production. It provides single SMPTE fibre output and allows the cameras to integrate with RCPs and broadcast equipment.
It is being shown working with EVS’s XT-Via live production server, using the new Red Connect IP connection, which takes full-quality files off the camera in real time, whether in full 8K resolution for immersive experiences or, in this case, offering 4K slo-mo replays at up to 240 frames per second, or 2K at 480fps.
