EPIC DRAGON: REDCODE OPTIONS FOR VARIOUS FRAME RATES
The table below describes the maximum available REDCODE compression ratio for each format and frame rate
combination. The REDCODE values in this table are based on DSMC firmware v5.1.34.
The number in each body cell refers to the number to the left of the colon in the compression ratio (the “x” of
“x:1”). For example, when your project format is 5K and your capture frame rate is 24 FPS, the maximum avail-
able REDCODE compression ratio is 4:1.
The table below omits rows for the anamorphic formats, since the maximum REDCODE and frame rate pairing
for each anamorphic format and the corresponding non-anamorphic format is the same.
NOTE: The REDCODE and frame rate capabilities in the table below are based on recording to a 128GB RED-
MAG.
