R3D FILE FORMAT AND REDCODE
All videos and frames are recorded to the R3D
®
file format. The R3D file format was developed by RED to provide an
efficient and manageable RAW video data format that promotes advanced post production editing capabilities. In the
R3D file format, the digital image received from the sensor is formatted as a pixel-defect corrected (but in all other
aspects unprocessed) 16-bit per pixel RAW data frame. Each RAW frame, or sequence of RAW frames in a clip, is
compressed using proprietary REDCODE
®
RAW compression, then stored to media.
RAW data is recorded independently of any RGB domain color processing such as ISO, White Balance, or other RGB
color space settings. Instead, color parameters are saved as reference metadata; that is, color is not burned into the
recorded RAW data. This recording technique promotes flexibility in RGB color processing, which can be deferred to
post production or adjusted in the field, without affecting the recorded RAW data image quality or dynamic range.
REDCODE is a compression codec that reduces R3D RAW files into a manageable size, allowing longer recording
times on media. The ability to compress RAW data is one of the significant technologies that RED has brought to the
industry.
GLOBAL SHUTTER
This camera employs global shutter technology. This technology exposes all of the sensor's pixels in each frame
simultaneously, unlike a rolling shutter that exposes lines of pixels (each with a delay) causing image artifacts on fast-
moving objects. Global shutter technology not only improves the visual appearance of this camera's images, it also
eliminates tracking and matte-painting distortions during post production.
IMAGE PROCESSING PIPELINE
This camera uses the new RED Image Processing Pipeline 2 (IPP2). In IPP2, the advanced RED color space
(REDWideGamutRGB) allows the camera to use every color its sensor can generate without clipping. The camera then
encodes the image using Log3G10, a gamma curve that retains extreme highlight and shadow detail. Using the
advanced color space and gamma curve, RED IPP2 allows you to grade and make color adjustments in post
production, instead of in-camera. IPP2 also allows the camera to use CDL for grading. For more information about
IPP2, refer to the RED IPP2 support page.
SHOOT FOR VIDEO AND STILLS
High resolution video, such as the digital footage captured by the camera, has surpassed the detail necessary to
produce professional full-sized prints. Because of the ability to record at high frame rates and resolution, the camera is
ideally suited to capture video and still images, simultaneously.
