RAW data is recorded independently of any RGB domain color processing such as ISO, White Balance, or other RGBcolor space settings. Instead, color parameters are saved as reference metadata; that is, color is not burned into therecorded RAW data. This recording technique promotes flexibility in RGB color processing, which can be deferred topost production or adjusted in the field, without affecting the recorded RAW data image quality or dynamic range.REDCODE is a visually lossless, wavelet-based compression codec that reduces R3D RAW files into a manageablesize, allowing longer recording times on media. The ability to compress RAW data is one of the significanttechnologies that RED has brought to the industry.For more information, see the DSMC Media Operation Guide, available at www.red.com/downloads.NOTE: REDCINE-X PRO® can create and export .RMD “Look” files which may then be imported as camera monitorpath color processing presets. This information is stored as reference metadata, so that these color processingchoices can be the default values used in post production. For more information, go to "Looks" on page 143.SHOOT FOR VIDEO AND STILLSHigh resolution video, such as the digital footage captured by the camera, has surpassed the detail necessary toproduce professional full-sized prints. Because of the ability to record at high frame rates and resolution, the camera isideally suited to capture video and still images, simultaneously.The camera is equipped with a Stills mode that makes it easier to capture stunning images. With presets optimized forstills and Swipe-Up Shortcuts for the RED Touch display, switching from Motion mode to Stills mode is seamless.Using REDCINE-X PRO, or other editing applications supporting the RED SDK, you can pull full resolution still imagesfrom R3D files.POST PRODUCTION WITH REDCINE-X PROREDCINE-X PRO is a professional one-light coloring toolset, equipped with an integrated timeline and a post effectssoftware collection that provides the ideal environment to review recorded footage, edit metadata, organize projects,and prepare your R3D files. Use either REDCINE-X PRO or a compatible third-party non-linear editing (NLE) applicationto edit R3D files.RED TETHER, included in REDCINE-X PRO, allows you to record footage from your camera directly to a computer oran external drive. Using tethering bypasses the need to record to an SSD and offload to a computer later, saving youtime. The latest version of REDCINE-X PRO and the REDCINE-X PRO Operation Guide are available for download atRED Downloads at www.red.com/downloads.NOTE: RED TETHER is included in REDCINE-X PRO build 35 or later.C O PYR I G HT © 2017 R ED.C O M , I NC 955- 0127_V6.3, R EV- M | 11RED RAVEN OPERATION GUIDE
