HDR. TO THE POWER OF X.
HDRx technology yields up to 18 stops of dynamic range, dilating your exposure in even the most challenging lighting conditions. EPIC offers up to 4 more stops of latitude than its 35mm and DSLR counterparts, helping cinematographers and photographers alike make the impossible possible. With HDRx, dynamic range is finally dynamic.
5K 3D
EPIC is the only 5K solution for lightweight 3D image acquisition, ideal for theatrical and IMAX applications. Small form factor and broad compatibility is important for efficient 3D production, which is why 3ality Technica was inspired to create their compact ATOM 3D rig exclusively for the EPIC. Once you’ve shot your footage, bring your project into REDCINE-X PRO for easy 3D grading, viewing, and exporting. EPIC adds another dimension to what you once thought was possible.

EPIC DOESN'T BLINK
With the ability to capture a 5K stream of up to 120 frames per second, you’ll never miss that perfect shot. Ever. EPIC aligns hi-resolution with hi-speed, capable of reaching maximum speeds of up to 300 fps at 2K. For robust efficiency, you can capture video and photos simultaneously, using an HDRx track to draw sharper stills. With EPIC, your subject will never be faster than your camera.
