UNMATCHED DATA RATES

REDCODE ALLOWS YOU TO BALANCE YOUR R3D FILES SO THAT 8K RAW IS ACTUALLY SMALLER THAN 4K PRORES 4444. ALL WHILE MAINTAINING THE FLEXIBILITY OF A RAW WORKFLOW WITH 4 TIMES THE COMPARABLE RESOLUTION AND MORE RECORDING TIME THAN THE COMPETITION.

UNPARALLELED CINEMATIC IMAGERY

EPIC IMAGE QUALITY AND ENDLESS CREATIVE FLEXIBILITY. THE REDCODE RAW CODEC COMBINED WITH RED’S ENHANCED IMAGE PROCESSING PIPELINE (IPP2) DELIVERS THE CREATIVE AMMUNITION THAT WORLD-CLASS CREATORS DEMAND.

“I started with a Panavision DXL2 Film LUT and after testing modified it for the HELIUM sensor...I felt I got the best skin tones. Many African-American cast members said they had never looked so good."

James Chressanthis, ASC, GSC

A Hidden Life

“On A HIDDEN LIFE, we often faced high contrast environment, especially since we were shooting most of the film with available light. The IPP2 workflow and color pipeline have been very helpful in retaining the maximum latitude while being able to specifically control and preview different highlight roll-offs."

Cinematographer Jörg Widmer

ACHIEVE THE LOOK

HARNESSING THE POWER OF REDCODE AND CAPTURING 16-BIT RAW WITH UNMATCHED DYNAMIC RANGE GIVES CREATORS A LIMITLESS PALETTE TO ACHIEVE ANY LOOK. THESE LUTS (PLUS 20 MORE) WERE DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH COLORIST ERIC WEIDT (MINDHUNTER; GONE GIRL).

“Continuity of light and lenses were critical for this film because of the long documentary format. I captured the imAges (sic) in REDCODE raw and that turned out to be an excellent choice. The production started out on older versions of the RED color science, but I was able to unify the images when it came time to grade, by applying the new IPP2 color even to the footage I shot five years ago. The R3D RAW container was a great concept in 2007, as it is today. Capturing with this system allowed me a great deal of flexibility in post, and many of the images I shot five years ago look better now because of the new color science.”
