RED V-Raptor XL: Introduction

Released in 2023, RED’s V-RAPTOR XL pairs the V-RAPTOR’s 8K Vista Vision sensor with integrated CDX-XT capture drive bays, enabling onboard RAW recording at full 8K up to 120 fps. This integrated solution reduces reliance on external media modules, streamlining high‑speed workflows.

Sensor and Recording

The XL version supports the same global shutter 8K sensor, with enhanced bandwidth to sustain high‑frame-rate RAW capture. With dual CDX-XT slots, productions can record extended takes without media interruptions.
