The Red Digital Cinema Camera Company is an American company that manufactures professional-grade digital cinematography and photography tools. Red cameras support raw recording of stills and video, in the case of the RED Epic-M up to 6K resolution. The company’s headquarters are in Irvine, California with studios in Hollywood. It has offices in London, Berlin, and Mumbai—and various authorized resellers and service centers around the world. Red also has retail stores in Hollywood and New York. ==History== Red Digital Cinema was founded in 2005 by Jim Jannard, who had previously founded Oakley. The company started with a small group of entrepreneurs in a warehouse who wanted to build affordable, high-end digital video cameras and believed that 4K video was the future of digital image capture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of RED Digital Cinema )〕 At the 2006 NAB show, Jannard announced that Red would build a 4K digital cinema camera and began taking pre-orders. More than one thousand people put down a refundable deposit, and Red began work to fulfill the orders. In March 2007, director Peter Jackson completed a camera test of two prototype Red One cameras, which became the 12-minute World War I film ''Crossing the Line''. On seeing the short film, director Steven Soderbergh told Jannard: "I am all in. I have to shoot with this." Soderbergh took two prototype Red ONEs into the jungle to shoot his film.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Analog Meets Its Match in Red Digital Cinema's Ultrahigh-Res Camera )〕 Red Digital delivered the first Red camera in August 2007. Called the Red One, it had a 4K ''Mysterium'' sensor and could capture 4K images at up to 60 frames per second in the proprietary Redcode format. The Red One was arguably the first affordable camera that provided filmmakers customizable features and out-of-the-box functionality with the "feature film quality" known to much more expensive 35mm film cameras. 〔 In 2009, Red released Redcine-X,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pro Video Coalition - RED announces REDCINE-X™ )〕 a post-production workflow for both motion and stills, the R3D Software Development Kit,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Developers )〕 and introduced the world to the concept of "DSMC" (Digital Stills and Motion Camera).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RED Announces DSMC )〕 In 2010, Red offered a sensor upgrade to owners of the original Mysterium sensor to the newer "M-X" sensor. Also in that same year, Red acquired the historic Ren-Mar Studios in Hollywood, and renamed it "Red Studios Hollywood".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RED buys Ren Mar Studios in Hollywood )〕 In 2013, Red began taking pre-orders for their newest camera, the Epic Red Dragon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RED Dragon is Finally Here: Upgrade Schedule Announced, SCARLET Will Get Dragon Upgrade )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Red Digital Cinema Camera Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
