Global Shutter

The KOMODO 6K's global shutter produces crisp images while reducing motion artifacts. Records fast-moving action the way it should be without blurred or curved lines. Captures every moment, burst, and flash without losing any dynamic range or image quality.

Phase-Detect Autofocus

A first for RED is the ability to use Phase-Detect Autofocus (PDAF) with compatible lenses. This includes adapted Canon EF-mount lenses used with a separately available EF-to-RF adapter with electronic communication. Phase-detect systems are known for their speed by measuring and comparing distance and should provide a reliable, accurate system for video production. Additionally, the touchscreen can be used for quickly changing focus and selecting subjects.

REDCODE RAW

The robust REDCODE RAW file format offers versatility without burdensome storage requirements and editing on many NLE systems without transcoding to save time. The KOMODO promises to be among RED's finest with the ability to capture up to 6K at 40 fps using the powerful 16-bit REDCODE RAW format.

RED has simplified compression options, giving users a choice between HQ, MQ, and LQ, each varying compression from low to high, respectively. Having these choices allows users to choose the best option for each shoot and whether to prioritize data rate or image quality.

REDCODE RAW is supported for 5K up to 48 fps, 4K up to 60 fps, and 2K up to 120 fps and will deliver the greatest possible flexibility in post-production. Those looking to use a more conventional format can record natively in Apple ProRes 422 HQ and standard 422 with DCI 4K up to 60 fps or DCI 2K up to 120 fps.

CFast Recording

Capture at rates up to 280 MB/s on RED PRO or qualified third-party CFast 2.0 cards.

REDCODE Options

• HQ is perfect for VFX, extremely detailed scenes, and capturing stills from motion
• MQ is great for cinema and high-end TV projects
• LQ is ideal for TV, online content, documentaries, interviews, and long takes

Apple ProRes Formats

For proxy files or quicker turnaround times than raw files, Apple ProRes can be recorded at 4K and 2K resolutions at rates up to 120 fps (2K).

Colour Management

Supports 3D LUTs and RED colour science.

Touchscreen Display

Integrated 2.9" touchscreen LCD screen for video preview and camera control.

Versatile Power Options

The KOMODO 6K's power options include using two lightweight Canon BP-9 batteries, a larger battery, or an AC power supply.
