Arri Codex Compact Drive 1TB x3 + Reader Bundle
Description
The Codex Media Bundle from ARRI combines everything you need to get started with a new camera setup. It consists of three 1TB compact drives in their individual protective cases and a USB Type-C compact drive reader. Three drives make a good basic kit, as they enable you to shoot on the first drive with the second drive standing by ready while offloading the third drive. The included USB Type-C reader is a versatile unit that can connect to most workstations and offers a fair transfer speed. Read more below about the components in this bundle.
ARRI Codex Compact Drive 1TB
The compact Codex Compact Drive 1TB from ARRI is a durable, industrial-style SSD compatible with the ALEXA Mini LF or ALEXA 35 camera. The drive's full 1TB capacity is available for recording both ARRIRAW and ProRes without needing to reformat or switch drives.
The compact drive works without a driver or license and features a sustained write speed of up to 8 Gb/s. Using a Compact Drive Adapter allows you to mount the drives on an existing SXR Capture Drive Dock (Mac only) or any other SXR Capture Drive hardware from Codex.
- ARRI cameras use the ARRI UDF file system to store the original camera files on a CODEX Compact Drive. ARRI UDF can be accessed freely with standard operating system software without needing additional software.
- CODEX Compact Drives can be accessed with the versatile Compact Drive Reader (USB-C), the high-speed Compact Drive Dock (Thunderbolt 3), or an existing SXR Capture Drive Dock or a CODEX Vault that has been upgraded to accept the new drives with a cost-effective Compact Drive Adapter.
- Supported by major studios and many standard post-production applications, the lossless CODEX HDE (High-Density Encoding) standard reduces ARRIRAW files by about 40%.
- After decoding, HDE files result in a bit-for-bit match to the original file, saving you time and storage requirements.
- Use the free, downloadable CODEX Device Manager software to encode ARRIRAW data from ALEXA series cameras prior to the ALEXA 35 (Mac only).
- Download the ARRIRAW HDE Transcoder software to encode ALEXA 35 ARRIRAW data to HDE MFX clips (macOS, Windows, and CentOS 6).
Transfer your ALEXA Mini LF footage using the Codex Compact Drive Reader from ARRI. This single-drive reader features a backward-compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface and provides a maximum download speed of 8 Gb/s.
No driver or license is required to use the Codex Compact Drive Reader and it is compatible with both Mac and Windows. Its USB Type-C connector provides bus power comparable to that of the Thunderbolt 3 standard.
