4K Workflow Overview
4K Workflow Overview
The following illustrates the typical 4K workflow for this camera.
 Shoot in 4K mode (A 65).
 You can record RAW data on a CDX-36150 Recorder docked with the camera*. You can also record
Intra-frame (YCbCr 4:2:2) 4K data on a CDX-36150 Recorder or on a CFast card in the camera.
 In addition to the main RAW recording, you can record simultaneously an additional sub recording
in the camera (A 71). You can use the CFast card (XF-AVC clips, 4K or 2K) or SD card (XF-AVC
Proxy clips, 2K), depending on the type of sub recording clips you need or how you intend to use
them in post-production.
 After recording RAW data, you can develop the RAW data using the Cinema RAW Development
software (A 160) to generate full-quality data. Using the Canon RAW Plugin, you can work with
RAW recordings directly from supported NLE applications.
• You can also generate proxy data with the software.
• YCbCr 4:2:2 clips recorded on the CFast card can be treated as full-quality data without any additional
processing.
 Transfer the 2K clips recorded in the camera or CDX-36150 Recorder, or proxy data generated by
the software, to your NLE system and edit offline (A 160).
 Perform color grading based on the full-quality data.
* For details about docking the CDX-36150 Recorder with the camera and using it to record, refer to Codex Recorder – Guide for
the EOS C700 models (separate PDF file).
