RED Komodo | Raptor

The RED Komodo and V-Raptor are cinema cameras controlled over IP. Both models use the same integration — select Komodo or V-Raptor in the RCP to match your camera. Typical use cases include narrative, documentary, and broadcast productions requiring remote shading.

Supported Models

• RED Komodo — select Komodo in the RCP
• RED V-Raptor — select V-Raptor in the RCP

Known Limitations

• Scene file load/save is not supported. All paint controls visible in the camera's web interface are available from the RCP, but scene file management must be done directly on the camera.
• OSD/menu control is not available. The Komodo and V-Raptor do not output OSD over SDI, so menu navigation from the RCP has no effect.

Connection

The RED Komodo and V-Raptor connect over IP/Ethernet. Connect the camera and your RCP or RIO to the same network.

Configuration

Camera Configuration

Ensure the camera is connected to the same network as the RCP and has a valid IP address. Consult the camera's network settings to assign a static IP if needed.

RCP Configuration

Add the camera as an IP camera. Use brand Red and model Komodo or V-Raptor to match your camera, then enter the camera's IP address.

Operations

White Balance

Path: MENU > PAINT > WHITE

note

Click on the first row to control R/G/B using encoders. Click on the second row to switch to color temp and tint.

Available controls:

• Presets — navigate through preset color temperatures (2800K, 3200K, 3800K, 4500K, 5600K, 7000K, 9000K)
• Color Temp — variable color temperature based on camera steps
• Tint
• Action (menu) — set A and B boundaries (minimum/maximum) for color temp
• A/B — direct access to A and B boundaries
• Slider — move variable color temp between A and B boundaries
• A-B encoder — move variable color temp between A and B boundaries

Black Balance

Path: MENU > PAINT > BLACK

ISO / dB

Path: MENU > PAINT > Gain

Matrix / Color Space

Path: MENU > PAINT > Matrix

Change presets:

Enable or disable the matrix with the ON/OFF button.

Gamma

Path: MENU > PAINT > Gamma

Change R/B/M gamma:

Change OETF in Tables:

Change Tone Curve:

note

The OETF list updates based on the Color Space selected in the camera. Check: MENU > PAINT > Matrix > Preset.

Shutter

Path: MENU > PAINT > SHUTTER

Available controls: shutter on/off, speed or angle, ECS.

White Clip / Knee

Path: MENU > PAINT > KNEE

Saturation

Path: MENU > PAINT > COLOR

LUT

Path: MENU > PAINT > LOOK

note

Upload LUTs to the RCP — see 3D LUT import/export. You can then navigate through the LUT list.

• Clear — sets the LUT to None on the camera
• Set — uploads the selected LUT to the camera
• ON/OFF — toggles the LUT

Record / Timecode

Path: MENU > RECORD

View the TC from the camera and trigger REC from the RCP.

note

Select a group and toggle it using the Group button to trigger REC on all cameras in the group simultaneously. This applies to cameras configured or imported on the RCP — typically an RCP with an unlimited/broadcast licence is used as an MSU for this purpose.

Troubleshooting

Camera icon stays RED / camera not detected

Check in this order:

1. Verify the camera IP address — confirm you entered the correct IP in the RCP and the camera is reachable on the network.
2. Ping the camera from a computer — set the computer to the same IP range and ping the camera IP to confirm basic network connectivity.
3. Ping the RCP from the same computer — confirms the RCP and camera are on the same subnet.
4. Check the RCP IP — the RCP must have an IP address in the same range as the camera. Follow this guide.
5. Power cycle — restart the camera and retry.

A specific parameter is not controllable

• Scene file load/save is not supported — manage scene files directly on the camera.
• OSD/menu control is not available on these models.
• The OETF list in Gamma/Tables updates dynamically based on the active Color Space — if an expected option is missing, check the selected Matrix preset first.

LUT not applying

• Confirm the LUT is uploaded to the RCP before attempting to set it on the camera.
• Use Clear before Set if a previous LUT is stuck on the camera.
