Codex Digital, the leading developer of digital media recorders and media management systems for film and television production, today announces full support for Avid® DNxHD® 444.
Codex Digital is one of the first companies to fully integrate the Avid DNxHD 444 codec into all its products, including the Codex Digital Lab, Codex Transfer Station for Mac OS X and the brand new Codex Vault series. The ground-breaking Codex Virtual File System (VFS) allows the user to transcode to DNxHD 444 as well as other types of Avid DNxHD for generating MXF deliverables.
“Codex has done an amazing job integrating the DNxHD workflow across its entire product line,” said Adam Green, Senior Director Worldwide Marketing, Post and Pro Segment for Avid. “With the addition of DNxHD 444, Codex has upped the ante on providing field recording solutions for all levels of production—from on-set through to editorial.”
Codex products allow productions to capture at the highest possible quality, for example ARRIRAW with the ARRI Alexa camera, and then provide a simple workflow for archiving the original camera files and making deliverables for editorial. “Avid is a natural partner for us,” says Sarah Priestnall, VP Market Development. “The majority of shows that use Codex for recording and making deliverables use Avid solutions for editorial. Being able to output MXFs using Avid DNxHD 444 raises the quality bar for deliverables.” Unlike the DNxHD files produced by some other systems, the files produced by Codex systems do not have imported into Avid through AMA (Avid Media Access) and so are not linked but accessed directly, streamlining the editorial process.
Recent Codex projects include “Skyfall”, “World War Z”, “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close”, “The Lone Ranger” and “21 Jump Street”
Codex will be demonstrating their entire product line at NAB, Booth C9811.

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
