Re: ARRIRAW Questions

The kind of techy answer I love! Hope you don´t take my critical questions personal or as an attack. But it´s important to technically go deeper than the sales brochure... ;)

I have great respect and little technical understanding of the color science involved in debayer. But I have seen what better algorithms can do to a raw file. The difference between a RED R3D developed with build 16 two years ago and todays color science is like a completely new sensor.

I believe that RED has changed the R3D file format from 12 to 16 bit because the new sensor (MX) is 14 bit (the original M sensor is 12 bit). Makes sense. Not sure if I´m convinced that the 12 bit raw output from the 14 bit Alev III is a perfect solution.

Cheers,
