The 4K recording system was carried on CRS-4, a commercial resupply services flight from Cape Canaveral<\/p><\/div>\n

A 4K Codex recording system has been launched into space for a forthcoming IMAX production, and will orbit the Earth for the next twelve months.<\/p>\n

Paired with a Canon Cinema EOS C500 camera, the Codex recording system will be used by the astronauts onboard the International Space Station to capture a set of pre-determined shots at 4K resolution for an upcoming IMAX production. It’s been tentatively titled\u00a0A Perfect Planet<\/em>. Codex\u2019s\u00a0Onboard S recorders enable the Canon EOS C500 to capture 4K Cinema RAW at up to 120fps.<\/p>\n

The kit set out on its astronautical venture on 20 September, when SpaceX launched CRS-4, a commercial resupply services flight from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. CRS-4 is also carrying crew supplies, cargo and the ISS-RapidScat instrument, a replacement for NASA’s QuikScat Earth satellite.<\/p>\n

Codex MD Marc Dando revealed that during the last few months the recording system has been put through rigorous testing, including radiation testing, by cinematographer James Neihouse and a team of engineers. Neihouse has worked on many IMAX movies, including\u00a0Hubble 3D, Space Station 3D\u00a0and\u00a0Mission To Mir.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone at Codex is excited to be involved in this ground-breaking endeavour,\u201d said Dando. \u201cCodex equipment has already been pushed to the limit during the testing process and now we get to support this project in space.\u201d<\/p>\n
