 Codex - ProductionCodex has been designed and built for use on film location shoots, in a conventional studio environment, or in a facility house machine room. A number of different configurations and options are available, ensuring Codex integrates seamlessly with existing film production and post-production equipment and work practices. Film shootDuring the shoot, all originated picture and sound material is recorded directly to Codex's removable, high-specification DiskPacks. These weatherproof, shock-resistant canisters are used in a similar manner to film magazines, and take literally seconds to swap when full, minimising the turnaround time between scenes. A combination of 'mirroring' and an advanced RAID-configuration protects against disk failure and data loss, making these DiskPacks even more secure than when working with conventional film (which is highly sensitive to mechanical and chemical failure, scratching and tearing, as well as many other damaging factors often found when shooting on location). Click on the diagram below for an larger version (requires the Flash plugin - click here if you cannot see the diagram).  Unlike conventional video-assist systems (and many other disk-based recorders), Codex features a number of real-time monitoring options, from Standard Definition video up to uncompressed 4:4:4 HD. Its advanced iLUT image Look Up Table software allows complete control over the appearance of the output image, meaning that shots recorded to Codex can be viewed on conventional video equipment and carefully checked for exposure and colour problems on-set, for total confidence during location shooting. Flexible and SecureThe use of another Codex system on location allows for a much greater degree of flexibility and security. A high-speed network connection between systems can be used to make backup copies of original material, as well as freeing-up DiskPacks as and when they become full, for a more efficient workflow. Also, this second Codex system can be used as a dedicated 'review station', meaning that shots recorded on location can be reviewed at high quality without interrupting shooting, or HD tape 'dailies' can be made on-set from this second system.  Using its built-in Virtual File System network feature, material shot onto Codex can be reviewed via a secure wireless connection on a handheld device such as a laptop or PDA. Also, shot logging information can be edited or reviewed remotely for total freedom of operation on-set.Codex also features a high-speed network connection, allowing Codex-originated material to be transferred literally anywhere in the world using a secure, 3rd party media network provider such as Codex Digital's partner, Sohonet. This allows editorial or VFX departments to access the day's material via the Virtual File System and create a rough edit of the scene, along with compositing and VFX shots and return these preliminary scenes back on-set via Codex's network, for screening.
