RED Simplified with PHFX New REDCamAssist

REDCamAssist

PHFX’s new REDCamAssist is a powerful free online tool for all users of RED Digital Cinema cameras and R3D REDCODE RAW workflow. For anyone unfamiliar with RED cameras, the myriad possible combinations of resolution, associated crops, aspect ratios and R3D REDCODE data rates can be overwhelming to say the least.

Phil Holland of PHFX has created a simple online tool called REDCamAssist that generates a comprehensive data sheet for any and all possible combinations of settings on all RED camera bodies.

REDCamAssist is accessible from the PHFX website. With six simple input criteria, REDCamAssist generates a full blown datasheet that will prove more than useful to DIT’s and post production teams when planning post workflow especially.

All you need to know to generate a full datasheet are:

  • RED Camera Model
  • Resolution
  • Format
  • Anamorphic Modeely
  • Frame Rate
  • Enable HDRx (Yes/No)

The datasheet includes:

  • REDCODE RAW Resolution and Format Details
  • Film Format Relative Crop Factors
  • Selected Camera Body Specifications
  • Supported Recording Codecs
  • REDCODE RAW Data Rates

It’s very easy to use and makes it look like you’ve done all the hard work while in actual fact PHFX’s Phil Holland has done your homework for you.

I can also see the tool being useful for anyone wanting to see what functionality they will get from various RED camera bodies before making a purchase decision. Phil has hinted that more amazing functionality is in the pipeline so REDCamAssist is definitely a page worth bookmarking.
