PLEAST NOTE: srRAW requires specific hardware found in the newest iPhones. Currently supported models include iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max as well as iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. srRAW captures the highest fidelity images and cinema of any iPhone camera with its custom "only RAW" cinema pipeline. Designed for filmmakers, creators, photographers and teams who shoot, edit and grade. It has "plug and grade" support with DaVinci Resolve using our Node Tree - transfer footage to your editing machine and start cutting, grading and designing looks in seconds. Images can be pulled from sequences for use in image editors including Affinity and Lightroom. It's easy enough for advanced beginners and powerful enough for twenty year pros to shoot beautiful images, kinetic bursts and organic cinema.  srRAW is a custom RAW cinema capture engine that encodes DNG images straight from the iPhone sensor and writes files to the industry standard CinemaDNG format, WAV stereo audio and a field H2365 proxy. No image processing or noise reduction is applied - captured images have the highest fidelity compared to video that has gone through processing at the time of production. When the latter occurs, it results in discarded data and bakes in noise reduction and exposure compensation all of which inhibit post-production options. srRAW on the other hand allows you to have absolute control over highlights and shadows at the time of production and because it shoots RAW cinema, allows for unmatched creativity at the time grading and designing looks.  Quite different from an iPhone video camera, srRAW has been designed to bring the filmmaking experience to iPhone. srRAW includes: • Custom developed CinemaDNG RAW format encoding, the open-source industry-standard. Edit, grade and design looks with DaVinci Resolve using our "Plug and Grade" node tree. • Uncompressed stereo WAV audio • H265 proxy file to easily check your recordings in the field • Up to 6 different resolutions from 1080p to 3k (iPhone dependent) • Transfer to industry-standard post-production software on your Mac/PC/Linux with USB-C or AirDrop • Full manual exposure with manual shutter and manual ISO • Custom auto-exposure mode designed for RAW cinema capture We made this for you!
