AVID DNXHD AND AVID DNXHR INFORMATION
By default, the camera records all videos and stills in the REDCODE RAW file format (records R3D files). You
also have the option to record to Avid DNxHD and Avid DNxHR (records .mxf files). This section provides
general information about recording Avid DNxHD/HR with the camera:
NOTE: Each camera offers different Avid codecs, and different frame rates for those codecs. For more information,
go to “Technical Specifications” on page 159.
Selecting a Recording Frame Rate that is not supported by Avid DNxHD/HR causes the codec file to be
sub-sampled to half of the selected Recording Frame Rate.
The camera cannot record Avid DNxHD/HR when Pre-Record is enabled.
The camera can record Avid DNxHD/HR only when either of the following recording modes is enabled:
‒ Continuous Record
‒ Motion + Stills
If HDRx
®
is enabled, only the selected monitor track is recorded to the Avid DNxHD/HR file. For more
information, go to “HDRX Menu” on page 115.
RED recommends performing a Secure Format before recording Avid DNxHD/HR. For more information, see
the DSMC Media Operation Guide, available at www.red.com/downloads.
The .mxf files have the same metadata that is in the REDCODE RAW files. The metadata is per clip, and not
per frame. At this time, there is no tool for extracting that metadata from the .mxf files.
You can select any Resolution in the Format menu. When recording Avid DNxHD/HR, the camera scales that
format to the Resolution (2K) selected in the Codec menu. The field of view is maintained in Avid DNxHD/
HR; the image is not cropped. For more information on setting the Format, go to “Format” on page 76.
Enabling Lookaround effects the aspect ratio of the scaled file, regardless of the recorded area.
For more information about Avid DNxHD/HR, see the Avid website at www.avid.com/en/products/avid-
dnxhr-and-dnxhd.
