| - | |||
| - | ~~FAQ~~ | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | =?=== Raw requirements ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ??? Black Magic decided to use only uncompressed CinemaDNG, how it affects workflow? | ||
| - | |||
| - | !!! Yes, it requires to use very fast HDDs until you finish transcoding to some non-raw format. | ||
| - | Comparable RED raw files are from 3x to 5x smaller. Other good format for raw storage is Cineform raw, it is also much smaller and much less demanding to disk infrastructure. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ??? Can I just transcode to some compressed raw format to keep raw advantage, but reduce requirements? | ||
| - | |||
| - | !!! Yep, you can do it. Go to http://cineform.com/, check their blog and downloads. They have conversion utility that can work with individual DNG files (Black Magic produces individual frame files). | ||
| - | Resulting format is Cineform raw, and you can define compression ratio used. It is called DPX2CF.exe, also comes with Cineform Studio Premium. | ||

| - | ??? Do I need RAID to speed up my storage system? | ||
| - | |||
| - | !!! Most probably yes. You can use either internal (with PCI-E cards) or external solutions (using USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt). | ||
| - | |||
| - | ??? What external RAID solutions will work? | ||
