The BAI-LEY RED Simulcam is a supervised, on-set integration for productions shooting on RED KOMODO-X, V-RAPTOR [X], and V-RAPTOR XL [X].

It composites live RED plates with real-time CG so the director and crew see the finished frame while shooting.
Built for feature work, series, and live events where timing, framing, and performance depend on the final image.
