INTRODUCTION REDCINE-X PRO REDCINE-X PRO is a software application for Apple Macintosh or Microsoft Windows-based PCs that performs transcoding and preeditorial image manipulation of footage recorded in REDCODE® Raw file format. REDCINE-X PRO is a non-destructive application in that camera original files are left untouched regardless of how they are translated or manipulated in REDCINE-X PRO. You thus always retain the option of returning to the camera original files to transcode, scale, and color correct or crop the footage from “scratch.” With REDCINE-X PRO, you can translate footage shot in REDCODE RAW file (.R3D®) format into any number of file formats and codecs acceptable to virtually all non-linear editing systems in use today. REDCINE-X PRO also digitally performs these pre-editorial imaging functions typically done by a telecine in the film production workflow: •
Baseline color correction and color grading: White Balance, Gamma, Tint, Contrast, Brightness, Shadow, and other image adjustments.
•
X-Y axis image crop and Z-axis zoom in / zoom out.
•
Image scaling from the high resolution camera original format to lower resolution formats for editing.
HOW REDCINE-X PRO IS USED Footage is shot using a RED digital cinema camera onto external media devices such as REDFLASH® Compact Flash, RED-DRIVE®, RED-RAID®, and REDMAG™ 1.8” SSD. REDCINE-X PRO is used to convert the native .R3D® files into file formats usable for non-native offline editorial such as QuickTime or Avid. For non-native finishing, offline information is sent to REDCINE-X PRO, which creates full-resolution frames in a usable format such as DPX or TIFF of the necessary shots.

RED WATCHDOG RED Watchdog is only available on MAC. RED Watchdog automatically installs and runs in the background when you install REDCINE-X PRO. You have the ability to set the REDMAG as Read-Write but it is set to Read-Only by default and mounts REDMAGs as Read-Only to reduce the possibility of file corruption.

RED LAUNCHER RED LAUNCHER is a program associated with .R3D files. When you double-click on an R3D file in Apple Finder or on your desktop, selected file will open in RED Player.
RED PLAYER RED PLAYER is a stand-alone Player for R3D files.
THEORY OF OPERATION RAW camera data compressed via internal REDCODE RAW compression module to a Digital Magazine may be converted to RGB color space and color processed in REDCINE-X PRO. A number of choices may be made to perform basic “One Light” color balancing, including White Balance, Tonal Response and Color Saturation. Selected clips may be exported for editorial or finishing at a variety of frame resolutions using industry standard file formats and video codecs. Batch processing is available, allowing a small number of reference frames to be used for the rapid establishment of color balance and sizing / encoding parameters, followed by a non-real time render of all the remaining frames in the selected source footage clips.
RAW IMAGE SELECTION RAW images may be selected for image processing by opening the selecting files or folders that contain the source footage clips.
RAW IMAGE PROCESSING The REDCINE-X PRO application converts selected RAW files to RGB color space using de-mosaicing and color matrix algorithms specifically designed for the characteristics of the Mysterium sensor. Timecode, White Balance and other metadata are maintained during RAW to RGB conversion.

Common in-camera presets are 3200 (Tungsten) and 5600 (Daylight). PICK WB The white balance may be adjusted by selecting the Pick WB tool and clicking on the desired known gray area of the clip in the Viewer window. KELVIN Adjusts the RGB color matrix to compensate for Red – Blue tinting of the scene at different Color Temperatures of the ambient light during shooting. Common values are 3200 (Tungsten) and 5600 (Daylight). Range 1800 to 9400, Default is 5600 TINT Adjusts the RGB color matrix to compensate for Yellow – Green tinting of the scene at different Color Temperatures of the ambient light during shooting. This parameter is valuable when the ambient light source contains a significant amount of Yellow or Green - such as Fluorescents. Range -100 to 100, Default is 0.00 ISO Allows the ISO level to be changed.ISO adjusts the basic amount of gain on the image, in familiar units. Each doubling of the ISO number represents an increase in image gain of 1 stop. Range 50 to 6400, Default is 800

FLUT™ CONTROL Once the preferred ISO is set, the FLUT level allows fine-tuning of the ISO level. FLUT control units are in stops, so +1 FLUT Control is the equivalent of brightening the image by one stop or doubling the ISO value. Range -8.0 to 8.0, Default is 0.0 SHADOW Allows the Shadow level to be changed. Range -2.00 to 2.00, Default is 0.00 DRX DRX allows you to recover potentially lost dynamic range by extending and balancing highlights, taking into account the rendering intent of the desired Kelvin and Tint white balance. Range is 0.00 to 1.00, Default is 0.50 SATURATION As the value increases, color saturation increases, conversely reducing the value decreases color saturation. If the value is set too high, colors may clip. If the level is set at 0 (zero), a monochromatic image with only grey tones is produced. Range is 0.00 to 2.00, Default is 1.00 CONTRAST Adjusts the slope of the Tonal Response Curve between the Toe and Knee transition points, altering the tonal response to mid-level grays. Increasing the Contrast increases tonal separation between adjacent grey levels but decreases the total number of discreet grey levels in the image. Conversely decreasing the Contrast value decreases the tonal separation between adjacent grey levels. Maximum tonal range (maximum number of grey shades) of a properly exposed image is obtained with Contrast set to 0.5. Range -1.00 to 1.00, Default is 0.00 NOTE: A curve-smoothing algorithm is applied to the Tonal Response Curve to prevent clipping of near black grey levels to black, and near white grey levels to white.

ALCHEMY Controls the richness of a film look base. This effect can be used to produce a more film like base. Range is -1.000 to 1.000. Default is 0.000. CLARITY Controls the amount of clarity in a image. Negative clarity implies a soft fill light look. This effect can be used to adjust the overall clarity of an image. Range is -1.000 to 1.000. Default is 0.000. SKIN Controls the amount of smoothing on skin textures. This effect can be used for smoothing skin texture. Range is 0.000 to 1.000. Default is 0.000. LOOK : EFFECT : FILM LOOK This effect can be used to control the strength, size, chroma and softness of film grain. When selected available options are Grain Strength, Grain Size, Grain Chroma, Grain Softness, Shadow, and Highlight. “D” resets the default values. Grain cannot be seen at lower decode res modes because fine grain sizes becomes less visible at lower resolutions. The following decode modes are recommended if you are working with the Film Look effect within the following grain size ranges: •
Full Res: 1.0-2.0
•
1/2 Res: 1.0-2.0
•
1/4 Res: No recommended range
•
1/8 Res: No recommended range

1/16 Res: No recommended range
These are suggested because the grain map density is so fine at smaller grain size settings they cannot be represented adequately at lower decode resolutions. HINT: To improve playback speed while working in lower decode modes, disable Film Look. GRAIN STRENGTH Controls the amount/intensity of the grain. Range is 0.000 to 1.000. Default is 0.300. GRAIN SIZE Controls the size of the grain. The smaller the size, the higher the grain density. Range is 1.00 to 2.00. Default is 1.30. GRAIN CHROMA Controls the amount of chroma in the grain. Setting this to zero implies luma grain. Range is 0.000 to 1.000. Default is 0.300. GRAIN SOFTNESS Controls the softness of the grain texture. This is a fairly subtle control. Range is 0.000 to 1.500. Default is 0.300. SHADOW Controls the amount of grain applied to the shadow tones. Range is 0.050 to 0.500. Default is 0.350. HIGHLIGHT Controls the amount of grain applied to the highlight tones. Range is 0.500 to 0.950. Default is 0.750.

Specifies how the XML will reference the new R3D files. Available options are QT Wrappers and R3D. QT Wrapper Type Used when “QT Wrappers” is selected. Specifies the type of wrappers to link to. Available options are F, H, M, and P. To trim an R3D file, perform the following: 1. Set IN / OUT points as described in VIEWER WINDOW >SET IN / OUT POINTS. 2. Go to Options in Export Settings window and select Handles (use default or define). 3. Export file. Trim will create an RDC folder under the export folder you specify. NOTE: This function is especially useful for 3D work as the first frame and last frame recorded even when the camera is in Master / Slave mode - isn't always the same (by 1 or 2 frames). R3D trim allows you to TRIM the .R3D's of the Left Eye and Right Eye camera to be the same start / end before exporting to DPX files for post production. BWF Extract's camera audio for export into a BWF file. Output Resolution Allows custom changes to the height and width or selections for standard resolutions. Rotate Based on Clip Settings Rotate based on clip settings means that if the clip for export has framing settings set for rotation, the output resolution width and height will be swapped also. Debayer Settings Debayer Settings allows software to run faster and output files quicker at the loss of quality. Available options are 1/16th, 1/8th, 1/4th, ½ Good, ½ Premium, Full, and Nearest Fit. NOTE: These settings only apply to software debayer. RED Rocket™ will always do the full debayer.

Full - Will always do a Full debayer then if needed scale to output resolution (best choice for final output quality). Nearest Fit - Will automatically choose the debayer setting that will give you the nearest debayer result size larger than or equal to your output. Then if needed downscale to the final output size (based on chosen output this can be faster than the full setting at the cost of using a lower quality debayer). Examples: 1. Exporting 4k 2:1 4096x2048 clip to 2048x1024 output: •
Full = Full quality debayer first resulting in a 4096x2048 image, then scale it to 2048x1024.
•
Nearest Fit = 1/2 Premium debayer resulting in a 2048x1024 image with no scaling required.
•
Result = Nearest fit did a faster transcode at the cost of image quality.
2. Exporting 2k 2:1 2048x1024 clip to 2048x1024 output: •
Full = Full quality debayer resulting in a 2048x1024 image with no scaling required.
•
Nearest Fit =Full quality debayer resulting in a 2048x1024 image with no scaling required.
•
Result = Both settings did a full quality decode and took the same amount of time.
Output Location Allows changes to the file handling upon export. Available selections as follow: •
Ask for Output Filename (default)
•
