HIGH DENSITY ENCODING

If you’re shooting ARRIRAW with the ALEXA Mini or AMIRA you can now purchase a licence to access High Density Encoding (HDE).

Any CFast 2.0 card reader can be used, including models with dual card slots and Thunderbolt connections, for maximum workflow efficiency.

ARRIRAW file sizes are reduced on average by around 40% with HDE applied, thereby massively reducing storage and budget requirements.

HDE workflows through Device Manager are available on macOS only and require the use of a compatible copy tool such as Hedge, Offload Manager, Silverstack, Shotput Pro, or YoYotta. Full technical details can be found on the CODEX Help Centre.

A licence is not required for Device Manager or HDE when using a CODEX media reader. Licenses begin on the day of purchase, and can be transferred between computers.
