CODEX High Density Encoding for ALEXA 35
Recording and processing of ALEXA 35 camera data is fully geared towards the use of the Material Exchange Format (MXF) as a container format. This also applies when the ARRIRAW data is converted to high-density encoded data. HDE is available in the current version of the CODEX Device Manager and our free ARRIRAW HDE Transcoder. Both tools use the same CODEX HDE library, so the encoded content is identical.
The ARRIRAW HDE Transcoder is an easy-to-use, stand-alone application that can read ALEXA 35 ARRIRAW files from a Compact Drive or any other source and create MXF/HDE files at the set destination. The latest update to the ARRIRAW HDE Transcoder brings additional hash formats for MHL and ASCMHL and multi-destination output.
The software is available with a graphical user interface for macOS, Windows and also as command line tool for macOS, Windows and CentOs.
