RED QUICKTIMECODEC

(Use V3.9.0 or higher for Build 30 footage)
NOTE: V3.9.0 is currently not compatible with Build 30 camera color matrix – therefore camera

footage should be white balanced before editing or other image processing.
The RED QuickTime codec permits REDCODE RAW footage to be displayed on Macintosh OSX personal

computers running QuickTime Player V7.4.5 or higher.

Render performance of computers will vary based on CPU speed, number of cores and disk speed. The

RED ONE camera, REDCINE-X offers QuickTime reference movies at _F full, _H half, _M medium and _P

proxy resolution. Choose the resolution that is most appropriate to your requirement for playback frame

rate on your specific computer. If the footage is to be viewed at distant location – e.g. dailies - export the

footage as a standalone movie using MPEG-4 or other low bit rate codec.
NOTE: The QuickTime reference movies work by partially decoding the wavelet data, which means

that the original RAW recording must be available on a drive accessible to your computer. For re-
mote use, conversion to a standalone movie avoids this issue.
NOTE: If an ANAMORPHIC record mode has been selected (2K ANA, 3K ANA, 4K ANA) any video

captured from the camera HD-SDI outputs has been stretched 2:1 to illustrate the final 2.40:1 as-
pect ratio of the final image projection. The actual recorded image is 1.2:1 aspect, and the Quick-

Time reference movies will reflect that aspect ratio.
