Thank god. The actual patent (roughly; I researched it myself, but a few years ago so memory fuzzy) involves compressing frames/video before debayering which makes the streams more easily compressible; instead of after debayering, and as part of a camera (internal RAW). Yeah.
Wow that’s big!
I've been waiting for this result for a long time - great news!!
This is a terrible patent (it's basically a list of features) and unfortunately Red was able to milk it for almost 20 years.
> One possibility the abolition of the license fees reportedly due to Red from users of Apple’s ProRes RAW codec.<p>This would be great but I’m not going to hold my breath.
