The MONSTRO 8K VV sensor has a resolution of 35 megapixels. with physical dimensions of 41×21.6 mm.
A camera with this sensor is capable of recording 8K video at 60 fps (75 fps in 8K 2.4:1 mode), and 4K video at 120 fps.
Data flow during recording can reach 300 MB/s. Attention: the data is not given in megabits per second, as is usually indicated in cameras, but in megabytes per second!
RED Weapon can record video simultaneously in REDCODE RAW and Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD/HR formats.
The RED Weapon camera with MONSTRO 8K VV unit costs about $80,000.
