RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC2 BRAIN with DRAGON-X 6K S35 sensor combining high-performance video recording in a compact package, is part of RED's unified DSMC2 line. Almost limitless lens options are available for the DSMC2 system. While a separate lens mount is required for this camera, the DSMC lens mounts themselves are available in a variety of options for compatibility with a wide range of lens systems.
REDCODE RAW is the preferred format for DSMC2 cameras. RED's versatile raw codec uses wavelet compression to reduce data rate while maintaining image rendering without visual loss. This efficient codec can be edited in many available non-linear editing programs without transcoding; although you can also record in ProRes or DNx if you prefer. Lowering the recording resolution allows the sensor to capture higher frame rates for impressive slow-motion footage. DSMC2 cameras use the sensor window to record slow motion at a lower resolution, requiring wider or smaller lenses to compensate for the extra framing. Recording speeds range from 12 fps and up, including 24/25/30/48/50/60 fps and up.

RAW CODE RED
The cornerstone of RED's workflow is the robust REDCODE RAW file format. Utilizing wavelet compression with ratios ranging from 2:1 to 22:1, REDCODE RAW offers the versatility of raw files without the huge storage requirements of uncompressed image data. Because REDCODE RAW has been around since the days of the RED ONE cinema camera, many common non-linear editing programs, including Adobe Premiere Pro, Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve, Apple Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer, can import and edit REDCODE RAW footage without transcoding. saving production time in the editing suite. Capture speeds range from 12fps and up, including 24/25/30/48/50/60fps and up.Note. Not all compression ratios are available for all resolutions and frame rates .
