  Reading up a bit on REDCODE (simply by hitting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REDCODE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REDCODE) the fact that the audio is uncompressed amused me. With the bandwidth spent on the video content, I guess 4 channels of 24-bit PCM at 48 kHz just doesn't matter. :)

  The REDCODE format is proprietary - any of the above need to have the Red quicktime or AMA plugin to access the content. For amusement, see 'Baselight Kompressor' for what a linux-based grading system has to do to handle red content.

    You don't need to use a Kompressor (Mac Pro) to decode RED on a Baselight. Baselight supports RED natively on Linux (including RED Rocket support). Kompressor is only there for handling codecs for which there is no (official) Linux implementation (ie ProRes), or connecting to storage systems that don't have native Linux drivers (like Avid Unity). Disclaimer: I'm one of the Baselight developers.

      Ah, apologies, I'll eat my hat (or buy you a beer sometime - you folks Covent Garden based?). I had assumed Kompressor also handled REDCODE with its hardware requirements, as well the Avid Connection Manager and other Quicktime codecs.

        Hey Jermy, no worries ;-) We're in Soho, so within spitting distance. Beer sounds good!
