RED’s nemesis YouTuber is at it again – In his latest video, Jinni.Tech claims that the patented method used in RED’s compressed raw format REDCODE is virtually identical to the (JPEG 2000-based) CineForm RAW format with a slightly altered GAS (green average subtraction). He further claims that RED simply took advantage of the CineForm not being patented and hints at the method therefore being “prior art”.
