What's in it for me?
Codex workflows deliver benefits for the whole crew from production to post – whether you’re shooting a game show, reality TV, drama series, commercial or a motion picture.
Production Executive
Codex gives you faster throughput, with more feedback. The automated delivery will save on labour and budget. The same equipment can be deployed in many scenarios– from multi-camera events to flagship drama production.
Producer
Shooting onto Codex systems gives you a smooth workflow, the highest-quality product and more feedback. This means better control of the schedule. You can get more set-ups in a day by eliminating safety shots. You can invest the savings into any other part of the production. Or just bank them.
Director
Instant high-resolution playback, with synch-sound, provided by Codex systems, enables you to make more immediate, and better-informed decisions about performances and look. You can be more adventurous too, knowing that you have access to VFX and editing to check shots as you go. You never have to leave a location again wondering whether you have exactly what you need.
Cinematographer
Instant high-resolution playback lets you check crucial factors, such as focus and exposure – giving you the certainty and confidence you might be missing with other digital workflows. LUT playback and CDL support provide you with the control you need on-set and into post production.
Production Assistant & Continuity Supervisor
With Codex every shot is there in your pocket, for immediate checking and comparison. You can input notes directly into each shot’s digital file card from anywhere on set, knowing that those notes will be automatically transferred into post with the shot. And they will be there later if you need to shoot a follow-on.
Broadcast Engineer
One Codex system can do the work of four tape-machines and your transfer bays. And do it all in one stage. That means simpler setup, easier operation, with less to go wrong. The results are files with metadata – all pre-organised and far easier to manage.
Editor
You can get the shots immediately (plus all of the logging information and metadata), without any time- consuming digitising, either on set or at your cutting room. You can rapidly advise the production team on how a scene is working-out. Now everyone can make better- informed decisions, while it’s still easy to make changes.
Post Facility Manager
With a Codex data-workflow in your facility, you can put much more work through in the same time. It takes much less labour to do it. One Codex system can handle all the daily deliverables of several productions in a single shift.
VFX Supervisor
You can access every shot – from the moment it’s shot – in any file format you need. With a secure network, your digital artists can work on those shots right there with you on the set, over at a separate base, or any other destination worldwide.
