8K Live Cinematic Streaming
RED Connect streams full resolution, live R3D video over an IP network by simply connecting the V‑RAPTOR or V‑RAPTOR XL to a camera control unit with an ethernet cable.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Unlock limitless image capture and workflow potential by bringing RED’s unparalleled raw 16-bit image quality capabilities into next generation IP-based infrastructures.
Cinema Quality Imagery over IP
Stream cinema quality R3D data to any networked destination with ease and confidence.
PTP Synchronization
Synchronize multiple cameras and other devices using PTP synchronization commonly seen in next generation IP-based infrastructures.
Powerful and Flexible
Highly integrated with Nvidia GPUs and Nvidia Rivermax to support complex SMPTE ST 2110 video workflows, integration with ai libraries and more.
Remote Recording
Record up to 8K directly to a networked device while simultaneously broadcasting the live stream.
KEY APPLICATIONS
8K Broadcast & STREAMING
The highest image quality and most cost-efficient setup compared to existing hardware ecosystems.
Real-time XR
Stream 8K 60p content straight from the camera to any end device. The increased resolution pushes the visual experience into an entirely new world of immersiveness, especially when viewed in a VR headset environment.
Volumetric Capture
Take advantage of the scalable nature of the RED Connect system and create a multi-camera, higH resolution volumetric capture rig. PTP sync allows for the multi-camera rig to be in perfect sync over the same IP network.
Virtual Production
Simplify the setup of cameras by reducing SDI cables, TC/Gen boxes, etc, to a single ethernet cable and reduce points of failure.
Remote Operations
Save hours and days of post-production work by having the data ready for access as soon as you finish recording. Also, have peace of mind by building in redundancy into the file storage system.
Enterprise & Industrial
Access a live workflow with industry leading raw 16-bit cinematic image quality and remote capabilities, combined with the proven ruggedness and reliability of RED Cameras.

Live 8K Workflow
RED CONNECT STREAMS FULL RESOLUTION, LIVE R3D VIDEO OVER AN IP NETWORK BY SIMPLY CONNECTING THE V‑RAPTOR OR V‑RAPTOR XL TO A CAMERA CONTROL UNIT (CCU) WITH EHTERNET CABLE. THE REFERENCE CCU DESIGN PROVIDED BY RED UTILIZES OFF-THE-SHELF COMPONENTS TO OUTPUT 8K 60P VIA SMPTE 2110 OR QUAD-LINK 12G SDI VIA RIVERMAX WITH MINIMAL LATENCY.
REQUIRED MATERIALS
- V‑RAPTOR or V‑RAPTOR XL with RED Connect License
- QNAP USB to 5GbE Adapter (QNA-UC5G1T) to adapt the USB-C to ethernet. (Required for both V‑RAPTOR and V‑RAPTOR XL)
- CAT6 ethernet cable or faster (must support 5Gbps at a minimum)
- 10GBASE-T or faster network switch (optional and must support 5Gbps connections)
- Camera Control Unit (CCU) with RED Connect App (application included with the purchase of the RED Connect License)
( V‑RAPTOR or V‑RAPTOR XL with RED Connect License )
SCROLL
CCU REFERENCE DESIGN
The CCU must handle the bandwidth of the incoming data stream and have GPUs/DPUs/FPGAs that are capable of decompressing and debayering the R3D data with minimal latency. GPU-based reference design tested by RED and confirmed to handle 8K 60P streams for prolonged periods of time.
- Motherboard: ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI (AMD WRX80 EATX)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3955WX 3.9GHz 16 Core
- RAM: 128GB DDR4-3200 REG ECC (8x16GB)
- GPU: Dual NVIDIA RTX A6000 48GB (Dual A6000 is necessary for 8K 60P. Dual GPUs may not be necessary if the target frame rate and resolution is less (for example, 8K 24P), but has not been tested extensively by RED). Must support NVIDIA GPUDirect.
- Networking: Sonnet 1-Port Solo 10G Ethernet PCI Express 3.0 Card (the 10G ethernet on the ASUS motherboard is not compatible with the 5G input)
