In this RED TECH, we explore RED’s new image processing pipeline in REDCINE-X PRO^® and its overall workflow. Learn how to toggle between legacy and IPP2 workflows as well as how to apply the new color controls. With IPP2, R3D^® files go through a new standardized, three-step process: Image Primary (look-independent controls, such as exposure and white balance), Image Grading (creative coloring decisions, including 3D LUTs and CDLs), and Image Output Transform (output-specific settings, such as SDR and HDR). 

Download the latest DSMC2^® camera firmware and REDCINE-X PRO software to take advantage of IPP2 here.

IPP2 enhancements include:

• Better management of challenging colors
• Improved shadow detail
• Smoother highlight roll-off
• More accurate mid-tone hues
• An improved demosaicing algorithm to achieve higher detail at the same pixel resolution
• Simpler and more intuitive workflow
• A workflow designed for HDR from the ground up
• Industry-standard naming
• Standardized color space and gamma
