Description
The RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC2 DRAGON-X Starter Kit is assembled to provide you with a basic kit with which you can add the lens of your choice and go shoot. The Super 35-sized DRAGON-X sensor offers more than 16 stops of dynamic range. The BRAIN can shoot at up to 240 fps in 2K, 120 fps in DCI 4K, 96 fps at 5K, and 75 fps at 6K, and it can capture in a variety of ProRes and REDCODE RAW formats. The included 4.7″ LCD screen is a necessity for navigating and making menu selection while providing you with a view screen. The included EF mount allows you to use Canon EF-mount lenses.
The DSMC2 V-LOCK I/O Expander module allows you to power the camera BRAIN via the included V-mount batteries. The 480GB RED MINI-MAG attaches to the integrated SSD interface of the BRAIN and features a maximum write speed of 300 MB/s. After shooting, use the RED MINI-MAG READER to off-load your footage to your computer. The included Universal Handle provides a simple way to carry your camera and doesn’t interfere with either the LCD or your batteries. The RED SIDEWINDER multi-tool has everything you need to work with your RED camera BRAIN, and the included rubber work mat provides a portable non-slip surface useful when assembling the camera or changing the mount.
RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC2 BRAIN with DRAGON-X 6K S35 Sensor
Bundling high-performance raw video recording in a compact camera body, the RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC2 BRAIN with DRAGON-X 6K S35 Sensor is part of RED’s unified DSMC2 lineup. Nearly limitless lens options are available for the DSMC2 system. While this camera requires a separately available lens mount, DSMC lens mounts themselves are offered in different varieties for compatibility with a wide array of lens systems.
REDCODE RAW is the format of choice for DSMC2 cameras. RED’s versatile raw codec uses wavelet compression to reduce data rates while maintaining a visually lossless image rendering. This efficient codec can be edited on many available NLE software programs without transcoding; though if you prefer, you can record to ProRes or DNx as well. Lowering the recording resolution allows the sensor to capture higher frame rates for dramatic slow-motion footage. The DSMC2 cameras use sensor windowing to record slow motion in lower resolutions, requiring wider- or smaller-format lenses to compensate for the additional crop. Recording rates range from 12 fps and up, including 24/25/30/48/50/60 fps and higher.

REDCODE RAW
The cornerstone of RED’s workflow is the robust REDCODE RAW file format. Using wavelet compression with ratios ranging from 2:1 to 22:1, REDCODE RAW offers the versatility of raw files without the overwhelming storage requirements of uncompressed image data. Since REDCODE RAW has been around since the days of the RED ONE cinema camera, many common NLE software 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 edit suite. Capture rates range from 12 fps and up, including 24/25/30/48/50/60 fps and higher options.
Note: Not all compression ratios are available at all resolutions and frame rates

RED DIGITAL CINEMA Touch 4.7″ LCD for Select DSMC2 RED Cameras
Designed for cable-free mounting to select DSMC2 RED cameras, the RED DIGITAL CINEMA Touch 4.7″ LCD features 1280 x 720 resolution. The design of the LCD provides good off-axis viewing up to 160°, with 80° left, right, up, or down so you don’t have to be directly aligned with the viewfinder to see an optimal image. The LCD features multi-touch control, with hard navigation buttons on the side.
With a brightness level of 400 cd/m² and contrast ration of 1000:1 providing a clear image, the RED Touch LCD mounts directly to your camera without any cables needed between the LCD and your camera. It can mount directly onto DSMC2 cameras including the WEAPON 8K S35, WEAPON 6K, EPIC/SCARLET-W, EPIC/SCARLET M-X, EPIC/SCARLET DRAGON, and the RED RAVEN. A built-in mirror and image flip allow for monitoring while upside down for special applications.
RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC2 V-LOCK I/O Expander
More than just a way to power your camera, the RED DSMC2 V-LOCK I/O Expander provides a variety of input/output connections in addition to a V-Lock mount for your DSMC2 camera. The Expander is made from magnesium, so it is lightweight yet strong. It enables powering your camera from a V-Mount battery or by an alternate DC source via cable, and you can set it to automatically boot your camera up once power is connected. It provides both 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs, as well as control and sync outputs.
Built-in USB and auxiliary power outputs enable powering accessories and limiting the number of power splitter and converter boxes hanging from your camera. Audio is not forgotten by RED, and the Expander features both an analog stereo input and a stereo headphone jack. It is compatible with the WEAPON 8K S35, WEAPON 6K, as well as the EPIC/SCARLET-W, and the RAVEN.
