RED DIGITAL CINEMA® will feature its latest breakthroughs in broadcasting technology at the 2025 International Broadcast Convention (IBC), held in Amsterdam from September 12–15. Conference-goers visiting RED will see its newest innovations demonstrated live and experience the cinematic imagery of RED’s advanced camera lineup firsthand.
RED’s Cine-Broadcast Module with Advanced Color Pipeline and EVS Integration Makes IBC Debut
Bringing filmic, full-frame imagery to live-broadcast workflows worldwide, RED’s Cine-Broadcast Module supports live broadcasting of up to two channels of 4K 60P (HDR/SDR) via 12G-SDI and IP broadcasting compliant with SMPTE ST 2110 (TR-08) and up to a 4K 60P JPEG-XS feed. It features a robust LEMO SMPTE 311M/304M hybrid fiber optical cable connector linked to a rack-mountable 2U full rack or 4U half rack base station. The module further expands workflows with advanced slow motion, AI/ML enhancements, and real-time 8K 120FPS R3D streaming through the RED Connect license-enabled feature.
Visitors to the stand will see the advanced Broadcast Color pipeline, which facilitates live painting of RED cameras in broadcast or streaming environments and allows for on-demand adjustments and multi-camera color matching using traditional broadcast controls. This latest functionality comes in a firmware update for RED’s V-RAPTOR XL and V-RAPTOR cameras and utilizes industry-standard RCPs to control painting parameters in real time over IP, while saving information per frame in the recorded file’s metadata.
New this year, RED will showcase the Cine-Broadcast Module’s seamless integration with EVS’ XT-VIA® live production server, which allows broadcasters to enhance their workflows with up to 4x super-slow-motion at 4K and 8x at 1080p, while simultaneously delivering two baseband channels. This capability is powered by RED’s license-enabled RED Connect feature, which allows IP live streaming of R3Ds and unlocks advanced workflows, including real-time AI/ML augmentation and live-to-headset using 8K 120FPS R3Ds.
The Cine Broadcast Module has recently been deployed on events broadcast by CBS Sports, NBC Sports Group, and MotoAmerica.
“The evolution of RED’s Cine-Broadcast solution is redefining creative flexibility in live production,” said Jeff Goodman, vice president of product management. “Producers can now harness the visual power of large-format, cinematic storytelling within live content workflows—without sacrificing speed, reliability or standards compliance. It’s a seamless addition to the traditional broadcast ecosystem, offering a suite of advanced IP-based solutions within a single, integrated product. Whether it’s for sports, concerts, or live events, the Cine-Broadcast system opens new creative possibilities for productions around the world.”
RED Cameras with Nikon Z Mount at IBC for the first time
IBC attendees will see the all-new RED V-RAPTOR [X] and KOMODO-X with Nikon’s premier Z Mount. The RED V-RAPTOR [X] features unmatched low-light performance, dynamic range, resolution, high frame rates, and an industry-leading 8K VV global shutter large-format sensor. RED’s KOMODO-X features a 6K S35 global shutter sensor and frame rates at 6K 80P and 4K 120P, all in a form factor measuring only 4x4x5 inches and 2.6 lbs. The Z Mount offers tremendous flexibility in lens selection and provides a comprehensive capture solution—from lens to sensor to codec. With a shallower flange depth and a wider diameter, the Nikon Z Mount supports lens designs with higher sharpness and superior aberration control. The Z lens delivers unrivaled low-light performance and edge-to-edge detail, as well as autofocus performance on both the V-RAPTOR [X] and KOMODO-X cameras.
