Brief Instructions
Unlike more complicated programs that can have a steep
learning curve to achieve the results you want, LightPost’s four-
step workow makes working with raw simple and intuitive.
The Copy Room
When your camera is connected to the computer, or you have
inserted CF cards into a card reader, the Copy Room allows
you to transfer all (or select) footage to chosen destination
drives. LightPost uses a sum check to verify data as it’s copied,
ensuring no corruption in your transfer, and will alert you if there
is not enough space to store the footage you are trying to copy.
LightPost is the recommended way for copying footage from
your D16. Copying directly from the camera to a drive could
cause corruption due to the big number of les being transferred.
Adding Clips to Library
If you already have CinemaDNG footage on a hard drive and
you do not need to import footage through the Copy Room,
you can select Library > Add Clips to Library, and access the
footage in subsequent rooms as you would with copied footage.
LightPost for Playback
If you want to see playback of footage on set, turn the camera
off (or use the DATA TSFR menu), connect it to a Mac computer,
Both PC and Mac users will need to install our Bolex Utility
to update your camera with the latest rmware. PC users will
also need to download an HFS reader to copy footage directly
from the camera using Windows Explorer, if not using CF cards.
(See “Displays anD Menus: Data tRansfeR” on Page 22.)
To update your rmware, download either the PC or MAC
version of our Bolex Utilities program and the latest rmware
update on our site at www.digitalbolex.com/downloads.
Then follow the instructions on the Bolex Utilities Firmware
Updater (For details, see “upDating the fiRMwaRe” on Page 26.)
