Building your ARRIRAW Workflow
Whether you are on a production with a small budget or on a big feature film, recording ARRIRAW to the XR
Capture Drives opens up a number of options that will allow you to manage the camera footage.
A light weight setup, like a MacBook Pro, a Single Dock, and some hard drives, will get you started on small
scale projects. To get the performance for larger projects, you should to replace the MacBook with a Mac
Pro and go for the faster Dual Dock. If you need a more compact and rugged, yet high-performance setup,
you should consider the Vault. On a feature film with different camera units, there could be a combination of
Mac Pro/Dual Dock for work in a studio and a Vault for location shooting, or multiple Vaults.
Although some consistency in workflows is important, every production is different, so it is difficult to present
you with the "one workflow to rule them all". The following examples illustrate just the basic setups that you
could put together with a Single Dock, the Dual Dock or the Vault. This will mostly affect how the data travels
from the "media station" to editorial or to the screening and how the data will be backed up or archived.
Single Dock Setup
A new 15" MacBook Pro (USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt) with a Single Dock and RAID-protected storage could
be the light-weight setup for backing up ARRIRAW footage to e.g. a RAID and shuttle disks. With the basic
version of the Codex Platform software, the VFS is limited to output .ARI files, CDL data, codex shot list and
audio files for delivery to post. An upgrade to the full version of the Codex Platform will enable generating
other file formats. In order to create dailies, additional software running on a dedicated machine would be
required.
Please note that this setup will provide basic access to the camera footage and will be sufficient for small
scale projects. In a regular production that produces several TB of data per day, creating backups and
deliverables will require one of the setups described below.
