Product Information

As a member of the DSMC2 camera lineup, the RED DSMC2 Helium 8k “EPIC-W” S35 benefits from the advanced modularity of the RED ecosystem. Camera features cable-free peripherals, integrated mounting plate, wireless control, and compatibility with a growing number of DSMC2 modules. The Epic-W Helium 8K S35 also supports interchangeable OLPFs and lens mounts. This empowers you to make the most of all of your compatible lenses.

All videos and frames are recorded to the R3D file format. The R3D file format was developed by Red to provide an efficient and manageable RAW video data format. Likewise promotes advanced post production editing capabilities. In the R3D file format, the digital image received from the sensor is formatted as a pixel-defect corrected 16-bit per pixel RAW data frame. Each raw frame, or sequence of raw frames in a clip, is compressed using a proprietary wavelet based Redcode.  This raw compression is then stored to a Red mini-mag.

Raw data is recorded independently of RGB domain color processing. Specifically, ISO, White Balance, or other RGB color space settings. Instead, color parameters are saved as reference metadata; that is, color is not burned into the recorded RAW data. This recording technique subsequently promotes flexibility in RGB color processing, which can be deferred to post production or adjusted in the field, without affecting the recorded RAW data image quality or dynamic range.

The RED Helium 8K S35 features a Super 35mm CMOS sensor that delivers exceptional image quality with 8192 x 4320 resolution. The sensor is capable of recording up to 300 frames per second at 2K resolution, providing slow-motion capabilities that are ideal for capturing fast-paced action sequences.

The camera boasts a dynamic range of up to 16.5 stops, enabling it to capture detail in both the brightest highlights and darkest shadows. Additionally, the RED Helium 8K S35 has a native ISO of 800, which can be adjusted up to 3200, allowing for excellent performance in low-light conditions.

The DSMC2 Helium 8K S35 supports RED’s R3D format, which provides flexibility and versatility in post-production. The camera can also record in ProRes and DNxHR formats for quick and easy editing and color grading.

With a compact and lightweight design, the Helium 8K S35 is highly portable and easy to handle on set. It features built-in WiFi and Bluetooth for remote camera control and is compatible with a range of accessories, including RED’s vast range of DSMC2 modules.

In conclusion, the RED DSMC2 Helium 8K S35 is an exceptional camera that offers unparalleled image quality and versatility for professionals in the film and television industry. Its advanced features, high-resolution capability, and flexibility in post-production make it an excellent choice for any shooting scenario.
