At NAB 2013, Codex will introduce several new features and software upgrades for its industry-leading Vault line of location-based media management environments. Codex can be found at Booth C6048.
The Codex Vault was introduced last year and has already been used on feature films worldwide such as Cuban Fury, We’re the Millers and Iron Man 3. Customers who have invested in Codex Vaults include leading camera rental facilities like Otto Nemenz and Clairmont Camera in Los Angeles, ARRI CSC in New York and Take 2 in the UK. Marvel Studios have also invested in Codex Vaults.
New Vault features include:
• The Codex Vault now includes support for Sony’s F5 and F55 cameras as part of the Process Module. This includes compressed XAVC camera data recorded to SxS cards as well as the new Sony AXSM cards used to the record RAW output via Sony AXS-R5 recorders.
• Vault also now supports REDMAGs used by RED Epic and Scarlet cameras, providing a reliable archiving and dailies workflow for RED.
• A new Codex Review Module allows for playback of camera-original material (including 4K) directly from Vault for QC and review. It includes the ability to add look-up tables.
• A new, removable Codex Storage Module for Vault features 8-terabytes of storage capacity. It can be used as a substitute for internal storage, providing greater flexibility and the ability to quickly increase storage capacity.
Codex will also be showing a new internal recording module, co-developed with ARRI, for ARRI’s Alexa camera. The XR Module is a side panel that replaces Alexa’s SxS Module. It allows internal recording of ARRIRAW at speeds up to 120 fps (16:9) onto an exceptionally fast 512 GB XR Capture Drive. The module facilitates untethered shooting and in a smaller camera configuration. Apple ProRes can also be captured to the XR Capture Drive for significantly longer recording times. All new ARRI Alexa XT cameras will include the XR Module.
Codex recording and workflow technology has been used in hundreds of film productions worldwide. Recent productions that have relied on Codex products include World War Z, The Host, Iron Man 3, Admission, The Wolverine, White House Down, The Lone Ranger, Trance and The Internship. Current productions employing Codex products include Prisoners, X Men: Days of Future Past, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Animal Rescue, Thor: The Dark World and The Man Who Sold the World.

“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
