When Kinefinity announced the MAVO Edge 8K, one feature that surprised us the most was the internal ProRes RAW recording. This is because RED has a patent on recording compressed internal RAW, and other manufacturers, like Blackmagic Design, Canon, and Sigma, have engineered workarounds for its cameras that don't infringe upon the patent. Apple even tried to challenge the patent but lost.
Kinefinity has now changed course, announcing on social media that it "will not implement ProRes RAW at first" when it comes to the MAVO Edge 8K. While unfortunate, they also said they "will continue to focus on the optimization of Apple ProRes, especially the ProRes444/XQ on the current and future product line."
