RED DIGITAL CINEMA KOMODO-X Z-Mount Overview

RED continues to expand its line of digital cinema cameras with the KOMODO-X Z Mount featuring a native Nikon Z mount offering adjustable AF speeds, fluid iris control, and customizable lens responses. It shares the global shutter 6K S35 sensor, powerful IP workflow, and advanced interfaces of the RF-mount KOMODO-X.

6K Super 35 Global Shutter Sensor

While sized the same as the original 6K S35 global-shutter KOMODO sensor, the KOMODO-X Z Mount sensor has been redesigned from the ground up, offering key architectural improvements while producing excellent image quality and color science. Features include enhanced shadow detail and color and frame rates up to 80 fps in 6K and up to 120p in 4K.

Compact KOMODO Form

The KOMODO-X Z Mount camera melds select DSMC3 features with the notably ultracompact KOMODO form. The KOMODO-X Z Mount has a built-in plate that enables the direct use of Micro V-mount batteries and is compatible with the PRO I/O Module for auxiliary power and full-size Gold and V-mount battery use. It also incorporates a full-size, 4-pin 11-17 VDC power input.

Integrated LCD

Users can preview their images and apply simplified controls via the integrated 2.9" LCD, an especially handy feature in tight setups. Pair the KOMODO-X Z Mount with the daylight-viewable, high-resolution DSMC3 7" Touch LCD for more precise monitoring and full control in a cable-free, decluttered form.
