R3D Quality

Use R3D Quality to select the R3D data rate the camera uses to record the image files.

     

The R3D Quality selections include:

• HQ - High data rate - Up to ~ 280 MB/s (~30 minutes recording time)*
• MQ - Medium data rate (default) - ~175 MB/s (~48 minutes recording time)*
• LQ - Lowest data rate - ~110 MB/s (~1 hour and 17 minutes recording time)*

* Data rate assumes camera settings at 6K 17:9, 23.98 FPS. Recording time assumes a 512 GB CFast card. Your actual data rate will depend on complexity of the shooting scene and capture settings. Data rates subject to change with future updates.

For high complexity scenes, VFX, and stills from motion workflows, RED recommends the HQ setting. For cinema (non-VFX) and high-end TV, RED recommends the MQ setting. For TV, online content, documentary and interviews, RED recommends the LQ setting.
