RED V-RAPTOR firmware 2.2 adds 8K tally recording
RED has released firmware 2.2 for its V-RAPTOR camera, introducing several new features and performance enhancements. Key updates include tally-triggered 8K recording, discrete Phantom Track, touchscreen ND control, and up to a 10-second reduction in boot time.
Key Takeaways
- Tally-triggered 8K recording is part of V-RAPTOR firmware 2.2.
- Firmware 2.2 adds discrete Phantom Track for the RED V-RAPTOR.
- Touchscreen ND control is now included in the update.
- Boot time drops by up to 10 seconds with firmware 2.2.
Why It Matters
Firmware 2.2 improves the V-RAPTOR’s on-set usability in four specific ways: 8K tally-triggered recording, Phantom Track, touchscreen ND control, and a boot-time reduction of up to 10 seconds. For production teams, that is a direct workflow update rather than a spec-sheet change. It also shows RED continuing to refine the camera through software, not just hardware revisions. The next concrete signal to watch is whether RED details additional firmware updates for the V-RAPTOR beyond version 2.2.
