Select Record File Format
NOTE: For more information on which codecs your camera offers, go to Technical Specifications.
To select what file formats to record to, follow the instructions below.
- Go to Menu > Settings > Recording > Codec.
- Select the file format(s) you want to record to from the Record File Format drop-down menu:
- R3D
- R3D + Apple ProRes
- R3D + Avid DNxHD/HR
- Apple ProRes
- Avid DNxHD/HR
The selected file format displays in the Lower Status Row.
- R3D: Select a target REDCODE compression ratio from the REDCODE menu. For more information, go to REDCODE.
- Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD/HR: Select a resolution from the Resolution drop-down menu.
- Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD/HR: Select a codec from the Record Video Codec drop-down menu.
- Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD/HR: If the camera is in IPP2 mode, select an option from the Baked-in Settings drop-down menu. This determines which image settings are irreversibly encoded (baked) as image data in the recorded file. For more information on the options in this menu, go to Baked-In Settings.
NOTE: Although the "All Image Settings" is an option when 4K is selected within the Resolution drop-down menu, this option can only be applied with 2K output. If 4K and "All Image Settings" are selected at the same time, the Baked-in Settings turns red and yellow as a warning, and the settings are NOT applied.
Baked-In Settings
If the camera is in IPP2 mode and you are recording to a 2K Apple ProRes or 2K Avid DNxHD/HR codec, you can irreversibly encode (bake) certain image settings into the recorded file. To bake in settings, select one of the following options from the Baked-in Settings drop-down menu:
- Primary Only: Only bakes the ISO, Color Temperature, Tint, and Exposure Adjust settings into the recorded file. Does NOT bake in the 3D LUT and other image settings.
- All Image Settings: Bakes all image settings into the recorded file, including the Primary Raw Development, Grading, and Output Transform stages. This includes the 3D LUT, CDLs, and output color space. For more information on the different IPP2 stages, see the IPP2: Image Pipeline Stages white paper. With the All Image Settings option, you can select either SDR or HDR to control the tone curve for standard dynamic range (SDR) or high dynamic range (HDR) output.
