Format SDK Information

Camera makers are responsible for providing the tools required to decode the media output by their cameras. These tools are called Software Developer Kits (SDK). Flame uses these SDK to read and process these media files.

And as makers update and release new cameras, they release new versions of their respective SDK. The Preview panel can now display what version of an SDK is used to decode the media file in the Metadata tab.

The following formats use an SDK:

  • ARRIRAW
  • Blackmagic Design RAW
  • OpenEXR
  • R3D
  • Sony RAW
