As for Apple they likely developed the software for the new video format with Red, in order to recoup some R&D costs they are probably licensing the application of the technology to Nikon. I would expect $200 fee would be small change for anybody needing that technology (not needed by casual users), the rest of the gear (cameras AND computers) at that level is extremely expensive and no doubt many Z6 units would be involved. When you take into account the very high cost of dedicated video cameras the cost of a Z6 even with the conversion is likely to be tiny when compared, yet I understand the Z6 can provide most of the essentials a videographer needs in a much more compact and vastly cheaper unit.
