Codex Delivers 4K Workflow for Canon Cinema EOS Digital Cameras
Codex, the leading developer of digital media recorders and media management systems for film and television production, today announces that its Onboard Recorders will support both the Canon Cinema EOS C300 and the new Canon Cinema EOS C500 and C500 PL digital cinematography cameras, which are currently under development.
Injecting the DNA that has become synonymous with Codex recorders into a completely new design, Codex‘s new Onboard S is an ideal recording solution for compact HD digital cinema cameras such as the Canon EOS C300. Data is recorded onto Codex‘s new Capture Drives from the HD-SDI output of the camera. Codex has partnered with both Vocas and ARRI’s PCA group to design new mounts and hand-held solutions for the C300 to accommodate the Onboard S recorder.
In recent months, Codex has also been working with Canon Inc. as the company developed the Cinema EOS C500 and Cinema EOS C500 PL digital cinematography cameras, which will be capable of originating 4K (4096 x 2160-pixel) resolution digital motion imagery to ensure that the entire workflow from recording to production is a seamless experience. The Codex Onboard M can record the 4K RAW files from the Cinema EOS C500 and C500 PL digital cinematography cameras onto Codex datapacks at up to 120 FPS. The datapacks can be loaded on a Codex Transfer Station for Mac OS X, a Codex Digital Lab or a Codex Vault S for QC, dailies generation and archiving.
“Codex is committed to supporting a wide range of cameras and we are excited to work with Canon as they introduce a variety of cameras for the feature film, television and commercials markets” stated Codex Managing Director Marc Dando. “Given our experience in recording RAW data, it was a natural progression for us to develop an entire workflow, from recording through to post.”
The Codex Onboard M Recorder was used with the Canon Cinema EOS C500 camera to capture the Canon promo film “4 Cities”, featuring material shot by Tony Pierce-Roberts, BSC; Ben Seresin, ASC, BSC; and Martin Ruhe.
Codex will be demonstrating their entire product line at NAB, Booth C9811.

Sonic Branding For Social Media: Engage, Align, Connect
By Chad Cook -- With more than five billion people accessing social media daily, savvy brands understand the importance of cultivating a strong social identity. They devote massive resources toward brand awareness, audience targeting, content strategy and community engagement. Yet, while they know that social platforms are critical to boosting sales and attracting new customers, many neglect one of the most effective tools for connecting with consumers: sonic branding. Marketers often associate sonic branding with catchy mnemonics used by big brands like McDonaldโs, Netflix and Intel in their advertising. But that is a very limited view of what sonic branding is and what it can do. Sonic branding is a way to build awareness and stimulate engagement across all touch points, from advertising to broadcast digital, in-person and social. And itโs not limited to members of the Fortune 500. Brands at all levels can benefit from a sonic identity that is memorable, engaging and reflective of its core values. Sound has been scientifically proven to be deeply tied to memory and emotion. Thereโs a reason that certain songs stick in your head and bring back memories formed years or even decades earlier. So, itโs surprising that sonic branding is often an afterthought in marketing plans. ย That is especially true in social media marketing. Faced with tight deadlines and strained budgets, creative teams are often tempted to select music for their content simply because it โfits.โ Unfortunately, that may result in content that is in tune with whatโs trending but is out of tune with brand identity. Effective sonic branding, by contrast, requires thoughtful strategic planning,... Read More
