RED ONE digital source needs to be managed near-set and in post-production to integrate into modern file-based workflows. REDCODE Raw source cannot be directly reviewed, needing to be converted and graded for offline dailies, and conformed and reconverted for online editing, grading and finishing.

Baselight Transfer (BLT) is a cost effective, billable digital telecine tool that seamlessly integrates REDCODE Raw source into standard non-linear editing, grading and finishing workflows.

BLT can be used near-set to instantly view REDCODE RAW camera rushes, to confirm ‘shot’ or ‘take’ integrity. It can also be used in a post-production environment to enable rapid conversion of REDCODE RAW content into either graded dailies or a conformed online making it the complete, high performance digital telecine solution for RED-based projects.

*The complete BLT RED toolset will also be available for all Baselight systems*

Some of the key features include:

real-time 2K (‘half-res’) decode and review from CF cards, Firewire drives, or file-system based disk packs
plays R3D natively on the timeline, in real-time, with simultaneous real-time GPU grading
plays 2K DPX in real-time with Truelight profile
ability to edit all RED decode parameters (including reading RSX files) on a per-shot basis, allowing ‘group grading’ of multiple shots simultaneously
creates DNxHD MXF, Quicktime, 1:1 MXF, TIFF etc. content direct from R3D – no intermediate processes required
supports CMX, AAF, and XML using Baselight’s statistical file based conform engine
