HIGH DENSITY ENCODING
PARTNER PROGRAM
CODEX High Density Encoding is a lossless, variable bitrate encoding scheme for ARRIRAW data.
It can reduce the footprint of ARRIRAW data by 40 to 50% depending on the image content, and once decoded delivers a bit-exact match to the original uncompressed data.
Supported by leading content providers and post production applications, HDE is widely used on ARRIRAW data from any ARRI camera.
HDE data, like ARRIRAW, may be found inside two media file types:
MXF files containing HDE picture essence (ALEXA 35 only)
“.arx” file sequences (previous ALEXA and AMIRA camera models)
