RED has released beta version 1.5 of the new firmware for its 
Komodo camera. The update brings RED's 6K camera some interesting new features such as support for 6K Anamorphic R3D, 4-channel audio, and 6K 2:1 like the other RED cams already have. There are also livestream tools and support for a magnify function.
RED Komodo
As a reminder, RED's Komodo has a large 6K S35 sensor complete with global shutter as well as 12G SDI and a Canon R/RF mount, records video in R3D with REDCODE RAW code format on CFast 2.0 memory cards (instead of the extremely expensive RED mags) and costs around ,000. It records at 40 fps at 6K (6,144 x 3,240) resolution with full sensor readout, 50 fps at 6K widescreen (6,144 x 2,592 pixels), and 24-60 fps at DCI 4K resolution.
