British camera manufacturer OCTOPUS CINEMA released the OCTOPUS RAW Player. It is a RAW color science processing video player for reviewing RAW video footage from cameras recording CinemaDNG RAW .dng sequences. The player is free and can be downloaded for Mac and Windows. Let’s have a closer look at the open-source player! In 2019, the OCTOPUS CAMERA was launched as a prototype cinema camera by OCTOPUS CINEMA, designed as an open platform with removable and upgradable parts. About two years ago, they finalized the camera with an 8K global shutter sensor that is larger than full-frame and enables the camera to capture oversampled 4K 14-bit CinemaDNG internally to CFast cards or 8K RAW externally to SSD. OCTOPUS RAW Player The new OCTOPUS RAW Player is a free, lightweight, multi-platform RAW video player that currently supports CinemaDNG RAW .dng sequences. To open a sequence, either drag the folder containing .dng files or a single .dng frame file into the player window. Alternatively, .dng sequences can be opened explicitly under the “File…Open CinemaDNG Sequence…” menu and then selecting the folder containing the .dng files.
