May be a graphic of text that says 'ZCINEM Z CINEMA EMA'




 
This is what Nikon's official press release states:

Personally, I think Z Cinema is Nikon's answer to Sony's Cinealta or Canon's Cinema Eos branding.
As stated in the press release, branding that is a synergy of both RED and Nikon's product lines.

Having said that you never know what decision makers are smoking these days (trust me I'm a citizen of the US)
and it would be a horrible move to get rid of or phase out RED (considering the legacy, the tech, and the team there).

If people need a reminder of what RED represents ....


or what likely inspired some of the above...
