RED Digital Cinema’s V-RAPTOR [X] and V-RAPTOR XL [X] cameras have become the first systems to receive GhostFrame Pro Certification from Megapixel. The certification validates the cameras' ability to capture multiple synchronized video feeds simultaneously for virtual production workflows using the Phantom Track feature.
This certification provides a standardized performance baseline for hardware used in high-end virtual production, reducing the technical uncertainty of multi-feed capture. By enabling a single camera to output synchronized feeds for tracking, talent cueing, and background plates, the integration lowers the physical hardware footprint required on LED stages. For the broader streaming ecosystem, these efficiencies accelerate the adoption of 'final pixel' workflows, potentially lowering the post-production costs for high-budget episodic content. Watch for other camera manufacturers to seek similar validation as Megapixel expands its certification program to establish industry-wide interoperability standards for LED volumes.
The industry is seeing a surge in multi-camera workflows in LED virtual studios, which are increasingly critical for maintaining production speed on complex sets.
RED Digital Cinema has secured the inaugural GhostFrame Pro certification for its V-RAPTOR [X] and XL [X] camera systems. This validation confirms the cameras can capture multiple synchronized video feeds simultaneously. This development matters because it standardizes performance for virtual production, reducing hardware footprints and accelerating efficient final pixel workflows.
The RED V-RAPTOR [X] and V-RAPTOR XL [X] systems are the first to receive this certification.
It confirms that the cameras can capture at least two simultaneous, synchronized video feeds from a single body at frame rates including 24p, 30p, 48p, 50p, and 60p.
Phantom Track allows productions to record final pixel results alongside alternative creative options, such as green screen mattes, simultaneously.
The hardware was recently utilized at Trilith Studios for the production of the 2025 Superman film.
