Overview
The RED DSMC2 BRAIN with DRAGON-X 5K S35 Sensor delivers the same image quality as its predecessor along with the benefits of high frame rates at 5K resolution, blazing fast data speeds, and access to RED’s latest image processing pipeline (IPP2). With its compact design, the DSMC2 DRAGON-X offers adaptability under any circumstance. Owners will also have the ability to upgrade to other sensors in the DSMC2 family.
RED’s DSMC2 line of cameras offer a completely overhauled and enhanced image processing pipeline (IPP2). This new image pipeline delivers on a host of benefits, including better management of challenging colors, smoother highlight roll-off, and a standardized color space and gamma. RED also features a proprietary file format, which efficiently encodes image data in a way that maximizes the post-production exibility of RAW files and makes capturing higher resolutions manageable for anyone.
With features like cable-free peripherals, integrated media bay, wireless control, and more, DSMC2 is also compatible with a growing arsenal of modules and accessories (from RED and other 3rd Party manufacturers). Add interchangeable OLPFs and lens mounts to achieve ultimate control over your footage.
IMPORTANT NOTE:Â Battery plate and/or power distribution accessory sold separately.
Features:
- 13.8 Megapixel 5K S35 CMOS sensor (25.6mm x 13.5mm)
- Records REDCODE RAW at 5K Full Format (5120 x 2700) up to 96 fps
- Data rates up to 300 MB/s
- Apple ProRes recording at up to 4K
- Avid DNx recording at up to 4K
NOTE: The DSMC2 BRAIN itself does not have a DC IN power port. A port expander or power module (sold separately) is required to power the camera. To build a working configuration for any BRAIN, RED recommends an expander, battery, lens mount, display, and media. All DSMC2 BRAINs ship with a standard OLPF; an OLPF 2-pack is available (sold seperately) for Skin Tone-Highlight and Low Light shooting environments.
Lens Mounts
Like most RED cameras, this DSMC2 BRAIN does not include a lens mount. You can attach various lens mounts to RED cameras, the two most popular being the DSMC S35 Titanium PL Mount (725-0022) and DSMC S35 Aluminum Canon (EF) Mount (725-0026).
Interchangable OLPF
Each OLPF ships inside an individual, protective case. This RED DSMC2 DRAGON-X BRAIN includes a Standard OLPF (optical low-pass filter) suited for most shooting environments, to balance light and offer protection. It offers optimal colorimetry, IR protection, and optical glare reduction. If you are unfamiliar with the process, be sure to read the instructions in the RED Operation Guide before attempting to swap an interchangable OLPF.
Accessories
RED DSMC2 camera BRAINs can pair with a variety of RED and 3rd party accessories (sold separately). RED's LEMO Adapter A will help you use your pre-existing EPIC or SCARLET displays (e.g., RED Touch, RED Pro, and RED PRO Touch) with the newer DSMC2 BRAIN.Â
