==History== Red Digital Cinema was founded by [[Jim Jannard]], who previously founded [[Oakley, Inc.]]. As a self-described "camera fanatic" owning over 1,000 models, Jannard started the company with the intent to deliver a (relatively) affordable [[4K resolution|4K]] digital cinema camera.<ref name="archive.wired.com" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.red.com/history|title=The History of RED Digital Cinema|work=red.com|access-date=August 22, 2014|archive-date=September 7, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160907220937/http://www.red.com/history|url-status=live}}</ref> Jannard dates the idea to a time when he bought a [[Sony HDR-FX1]] video camera and learned that the files had to be converted with software from Lumiere HD and were not viewable on [[Mac OS]].<ref name="archive.wired.com" /> Lumiere HD's owner Frederic Lumiere collaborated with Jannard on developing an alternative and introduced him to Ted Schilowitz who became Red's first employee.<ref name="mit">{{cite web|url=https://www.technologyreview.com/s/426387/red-the-camera-that-changed-hollywood/|title=Red: The Camera That Changed Hollywood|first=Lee|last=Gomes|publisher=MIT Technology Review|date=December 19, 2011|access-date=April 22, 2018|archive-date=November 10, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181110172429/https://www.technologyreview.com/s/426387/red-the-camera-that-changed-hollywood/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The early team members engaged in [[stealth mode|undisclosed]] research on how to make a digital camera feasible for Hollywood productions. Part of the process involved using 4K resolution instead of [[2K resolution|2K]], which was most common at the time. Another technical hurdle was to achieve the focusing quality of [[Digital single-lens reflex camera|DSLR]] cameras without sacrificing frame rate. Part of Red's solution to this problem was developing a sensor with a physical size comparable to that of analog film.<ref name="archive.wired.com" /> At the 2006 [[NAB Show]], Jannard announced that Red would build a 4K digital cinema camera, called the Red One, and began taking pre-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 (2008 film)|Crossing the Line]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473181/|title=Crossing the Line (2006)|author=SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain|date=August 10, 2007|work=IMDb|access-date=July 21, 2018|archive-date=August 23, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180823004447/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473181/|url-status=live}}</ref> On seeing the short film, director [[Steven Soderbergh]] told Jannard: "I am all in.

In 2010, Red acquired the historic [[Ren-Mar Studios]] in Hollywood, and renamed it "[[Red Studios Hollywood]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.studiodaily.com/2010/01/red-buys-ren-mar-studios-in-hollywood/|title=RED buys Ren Mar Studios in Hollywood|work=Studio Daily|date=January 18, 2010|access-date=August 22, 2014|archive-date=October 15, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141015160513/http://www.studiodaily.com/2010/01/red-buys-ren-mar-studios-in-hollywood/|url-status=dead}}</ref> By 2011, it had over 400 employees.<ref name="mit" /> 2011 was also the year in which [[Panavision]], [[Arri]], and [[Aaton]] announced that they would no longer be producing analog cameras.

Instead, we wanted to evolve it."<ref name="mit" />

In 2010, 5 of the top 100 grossing domestic films that were shot on digital video used Red cameras as their primary system. Their share increased to over 25% by 2016, but has declined since then.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://stephenfollows.com/digital-vs-film-on-hollywood-movies/|title=The use of digital vs celluloid film on Hollywood movies {{!}} Stephen Follows|date=February 11, 2019|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-12-16|archive-date=April 11, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220411214338/https://stephenfollows.com/digital-vs-film-on-hollywood-movies/|url-status=live}}</ref>
