No proprietary applications, SDKs, or similar are used.

# Video
|
||||||
|
The camera can acquire video in two main formats:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `.braw`, a proprietary format from Blackmagic.
|
||||||
|
* `.mov`, a format that can be read freely.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is some software available to use `.braw` files on Debian,
|
||||||
|
but they require using the proprietary SDK.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is one unmaintained hackish project that can read `.braw`
|
||||||
|
with ffmpeg.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Still
|
||||||
|
The camera acquires still pictures in `.dng` format.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Out-of-the-box neither Darktable or Gimp can read these files.
|
||||||
|
They can be read by Rawtherapee.
|
||||||
