NEWS CINE GEAR

17. RED Red Digital Cinema will be showing their range of cameras and sensors. The company has settled on a hardware solution with the DSMC2 Weapon body now carrying their 8K sensors as well as a new sensor called Gemini. Aptly named as Gemini has an automatic dual sensitivity. The Gemini was designed to shoot in space so has this low-light ability but the company wanted to evolve the camera for more normal lighting conditions. It’s a S35mm sensor with a 5K performance and will be able to take advantage of the Weapon hardware and shoot Redcode RAW as well at the same time Apple ProRes or AVID’s DNxHD/HDR. The new camera forms part of the Red Epic-W range and is available online from red.com. www.red.com 18.
