RED EPIC-W HELIUM 8K S35

EPIC-W carries on the legacy of the original EPIC, which became the industry workhorse upon its release in 2010. Powered by the HELIUM 8K® S35 sensor, recipient of the highest DxOMark score ever, RED EPIC-W® is capable of shooting 8K Full Format at up to 30 frames per second (fps).

 

At full 8K resolution EPIC-W captures 35.4 Megapixels images—delivering more detail and creative possibilities in every frame. With HELIUM sensor advancements, RED EPIC-W boasts improved low-light sensitivity and impressive dynamic range. Leveraging lightning fast data rates up to 275 MB/s, EPIC-W can record REDCODE® RAW, as well as proxy 4K Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR—simultaneously
