Overview
The RED RANGER MONSTRO 8K VV All-In-One Camera System features a compact, standardized camera body weighing approximately 7.5 lb (3.4 kg), depending on the chosen battery plate. RANGER is an integrated (i.e., not modular) camera system with a comprehensive I/O array. It is capable of handling the rigorous strain and robust power needs of high-end studio productions, supporting wide input voltage (11.5V to 32V) and more independent SDI and AUX power outputs, as well as an integrated XLR audio input. The camera also boasts a larger fan for quieter, more efficient temperature management.
The RANGER features all of the benefits of the DSMC2 sensor lineup in a less complex platform for filmmakers. Features like integrated I/O's, 24V power output, a factory-shimmed PL Mount, and improved thermal performance offer unmatched versatility as well as peace of mind in challenging shooting environments.
The MONSTRO 8K VV sensor delivers cinematic image quality with 40.96mm x 21.6mm dimensions. At full 8K resolution, the MONSTRO sensor captures 35.4 Megapixel motion and stills with low noise, and now ships with IPP2 (RED's improved image processing pipeline). MONSTRO 8K VV provides an advanced VFX solution with next-level creative flexibility. Blazing-fast 300 MB/s data rates allow you to take advantage of the best possible REDCODE settings, and record proxy 4K Apple ProRes or 4K Avid DNxHR formats, simultaneously.
The biggest difference between the RANGER and the rest of the DSMC2 line is that none of the current expander modules are compatible with the RANGER. Whereas previous REDs were built for complete modularity, taking a camera BRAIN and custom-building the configuration with expansion modules to meet the user's exact needs, this camera is designed for a single-purpose. The task-specific modules needed to make the RANGER a high-end studio camera are built-into it, and the camera is fully functional on its own without additional upgrades.
IMPORTANT NOTE: One other significant difference is the PL Lens Mount on the RANGER. Other DSMC2 camera BRAINs use internal back-focus adjustment for changing between mount types. The RANGER features more precise internal shimming that is designed specifically for, and only compatible with, PL Mount lenses.
