The Codex product line
The Codex workflow is an end-to-end, camera-to-post system that makes production easier and more efficient than ever before.
What’s in the product line?
We produce a range of systems which provide differing degrees of functionality depending on the required application – recording, transfer, or final delivery and archival.
Recording systems
Onboard - is the start of your tapeless workflow. The Codex Onboard can record anything from HD for television, to the highest quality digital cinematography cameras. It can be mounted directly on a wide range of camera systems.
Portable - a small, lightweight digital cinema recorder. For many types of production, this is the next level in the tapeless Codex workflow.
Studio Recorder - Codex's uncompressed recording and file generation system. For uncompressed recording of HD and raw data streams.
Transfer and delivery systems
We manufacture several products for transfer, delivery, and archival, all of which are centred around the Codex Base Unit. The Base Unit provides the processing power and networking capabilities for the generation of deliverables, finishing files, and files for archival. The range has been designed to allow huge flexibility so that productions can specify the right system features to achieve an optimal workflow. The systems in the range are:
Onboard/Portable Transfer Station - Portable Datapacks can be loaded into the Onboard/Portable Transfer Station for the generation and archival of files. Optional features include in-built LTO4 drives for simple archival and a 9-Terabyte RAID-3 Internal Datapack which allows for around 35 hours of material to be kept online.
Studio Transfer Station - Studio Recorder Datapacks can be loaded into the the Studio Transfer Station for the generation and archival of files.
Digital Lab - is designed as the hub of a digital production, and comes as a fully stacked system comprising the Base Unit and Disk Bays, for our Portable and Studio Recorder Datapacks. The Lab can generate files, archive to LTO tape, ingest material, conform to and from digital tape, plus many other features.
Datapacks
Material recorded onto Codex systems is stored on secure, RAID protected Datapacks.
