CinemaDNG

The CinemaDNG format is designed for storing high-resolution image streams in camera raw format. CinemaDNG is an open, documented format leveraging standard formats for video and imaging — DNG, TIFF, TIFF/EP, MXF, XMP. Each image is encoded using the DNG image format. The image stream can be stored in one of two formats: either as video essence in an MXF file, or as a sequence of image files in a file directory.

Adobe CinemaDNG Importer prerelease 1 (version 0.9.5) adds support to Adobe® After Effects® CS4 and Adobe Premiere® Pro CS4 for reading CinemaDNG video streams in the form of MXF files and DNG file sequences.
