Since the DSMC2 form factor is standard, accessories from RED and other manufacturers can be easily attached to accessorize your camera. While other RED cameras use sensors larger than Super 35, the HELIUM is unique in that it allows for high-resolution 8K recording while using classic cinema lenses designed for the Super 35 film format. While 8K exhibition is not mainstream, the extra recorded resolution is helpful for VFX artists and future-proofing your productions for a time when 8K is standardized.

Having trouble with setting up a second monitor with a HDMI connection with a The Big RD monitor, help!
Hey Kelly,
If you are using the side POGO port, it will cut off feed to an HDMI connection or vice versa.
If you are not using the side POGO port, there might be an issue with your HDMI port. Please submit a ticket at www.red.com/support
Thanks,
Andrew

I currently own a DSMC2 Scarlet-W and a set of Sony CineAlta Six Lens Kit. Will this brain sensor size work with this lens kit?
The Sony CineAlta Lenses cover a Super 35mm sensor. This camera has a Super 35mm sensor, those lenses will cover the sensor. You will just need to add a PL mount, B&H # WO175900, to the camera.
