RED WEAPON, SCARLET-W, & RAVEN Cameras Will Get Avid DNxHD/DNxHR Support1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteRED announced earlier today that all of their DSMC2 cameras will be getting Avid DNxHD and DNxHR codec support.
Their new body type, DSMC2, includes the WEAPON, SCARLET-W, and RAVEN cameras, all of which share similarities in construction and accessories, and already have support for recording RED RAW and Apple ProRes at the same time. This new firmware update will mirror that support, allowing you to shoot both RAW and one of these compressed Avid codecs simultaneously.
Here’s more from the press release:
Avid DNxHR and Avid DNxHD are renowned for their ability to reduce storage and bandwidth requirements, and Avid DNxHD has been accepted by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) as the foundation format for the VC-3 standard. Additionally, they offer seamless direct-to-edit experiences for professionals looking to keep the highest image quality possible while leveraging their investment in Avid in-house production systems.
The Avid DNxHR and Avid DNxHD formats will be added to the already impressive recording capability that RED’s DSMC2 cameras currently offer via REDCODE RAW® and Apple ProRes formats. Avid DNxHR and Avid DNxHD support will be made available to all DSMC2 cameras via a free firmware update in mid-2016.
