Red will likely remain as Nikon’s cinema line, just like Sony and Canon have theirs. But can’t imagine why they wouldn’t adopt red raw in their mirrorless cameras from this point forward. 

Nikon needs a camera that sits in the middle between stills hybrid cameras and cinema cameras. 

Whatever is the equivalent of Nikon's FX30/FX3/C70/R5C could be easily released under either the Nikon or the RED brand name. (or be released under both at once?)

Aside from a few action cams and a camcorder, let's remember Nikon's last dedicated video camera was released in 1982:

Whatever they release that is not a mirrorless/hybrid will likely be under RED. If it does have 16-bit RAW (REDCODE), it will need to deal with the heat management and power requirements. Perhaps they could do this in a Z9-size body with the addition of active cooling. There is nothing smaller that could handle 16-bit RAW with current sensors, ASICs, batteries, and the rest.
