Just from the limited information so far, this does seem to be a much more useable format then ProResRaw - it's more like BMD kept all the desirable elements of CineDNG, but got rid of the awkward file handling issues.
What I'd love to know, is whether this can be applied within an external recorder, to record the Raw outputs from other manufacturers cameras?
I know I represent a very small buying group, as one of the few Aja Cion owners,... When it comes to Raw Recording, we got shafted by both Atomos and Convergent Design, with Cion User Group members buying hardware those two companies claimed would get Raw support, that was never delivered.
This leaves us looking for other solutions. A Raw Recorder that could take the inputs from Aja, Arri, Canon, Sony, Panasonic and other brands cameras, and record to this new format that's not tied to one NLE and one brand of recorders,.. I'd think that would be a very popular piece of kit.
Having the information on colourspace and sensor setting in the sidecar files has got to make things easier when moving projects between post-production applications.
