SPECIFICATIONS
The RED MONSTRO 8K VV sensor is a full-frame, 35.4 megapixel CMOS sensor with 17+ stops of dynamic range, offering 8192 x 4320 resolution and accommodating full-frame 35mm lenses for a broad, cinematic look. This sensor is also great for shooting with anamorphic lenses giving you more sensor for better results in low light and clear anamorphic images. The sensor supports the REDCODE RAW codec for high-quality image data and can also record Apple ProRes or Avid DNx files simultaneously for proxy workflows.
