Page 10: R3D File Format And Redcode
R3D FILE FORMAT AND REDCODE All videos and frames are recorded to the R3D® file format. The R3D file format was developed by RED to provide an efficient and manageable RAW video data format that promotes advanced post-production editing capabilities. In the R3D file format, the digital image received from the sensor is formatted as a pixel-defect corrected (but in all other aspects unprocessed) 16-bit per pixel RAW data frame.

V-RAPTOR® XL 8K S35 OPERATION GUIDE POST-PRODUCTION Many non-linear editing systems (NLEs) can open and edit RED footage, allowing full RAW control and flexibility without any need to re-transcode. Each NLE version may have specific compatibility requirements, such as camera firmware version or camera type.

With most scenes, you can often have a surprising range of exposure latitude before excessive red or purple indicators begin to appear.
