NIKON ACQUIRES RED DIGITAL CINEMA
IN a surprising move, Nikon has acquired 100% of US-based RED Digital Cinema.
RED was founded in 2005 by Jim Jannard, the founder of Oakley eyewear, who sold Oakley for $2.1 billion in 2007.
Jannard’s original goal was to deliver relatively affordable 4K video at a time when 2K was the standard, and cinema was still being shot on film.
In 2007 the company launched the RED One 4K with its own ‘Mysterium 4K’ 12MP Super 35mm film sensor. This sensor, along with a mount that enabled the use of larger lenses, meant the ONE 4K was able to deliver shallow depth of field that cinematographers love.
Since then, RED has gone on to be a well-respected, high end cinema camera brand that has created more than 14 sensors that utilise the propriety Redcode RAW (.r3d) file format. RED currently has 220 employees.
