OCTOPUS RAW Player is a multi-platform (Windows/macOS) lightweight video playback application for reviewing RAW video footage from professional cameras. Currently the player supports CinemaDNG RAW .dng
sequences. The OCTOPUS RAW Player leverages native C++ code for low-level decoding and implements our unique sophisticated colour science processing pipeline in GLSL (OpenGL shading language).
Features
- Modern minimal interface
- Efficient real-time CinemaDNG playback for 8,12,14,16-bit bayer or monochrome, uncompressed or lossless compressed
.dng
sequences. - Professional RAW controls (White balance, exposure)
- Advanced colour science control (Highlight recovery/roll-off, SDR Tone-Mapping)
- Timecode and metadata display
- Support for real-time 8K playback
Tested Cameras
- Sigma Fp
- DJI Xenmuse X5,X5R,X7
- Blackmagic Cinema Camera 2.5K
- Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (Original)
- Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera
- Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4K
- OCTOPUSCAMERA 8K/4K/MONO

- Windows 10 / macOS 10.10 or newer
- GPU with support for OpenGL 3.2 or greater (Native Apple Metal API support in progress)
OCTOPUS RAW Player releases are usually installed by launching the Windows .msi
or macOS .pkg
installer file. Alternatively, OCTOPUS RAW Player can be run as a portable single-file executable without installation.

Building OCTOPUS RAW Player requires Visual Studio 2022 with the C# desktop development workload. The OCTOPUS RAW Player project references several NuGet packages which should be restored (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/consume-packages/package-restore) prior to building.
The OCTOPUS RAW Player executable for Windows can be built from the raw-player/Player.Windows.sln
solution file. The solution contains both C# and C++ projects (mixed managed/unmanaged code). C++ project dependencies are linked dynamically at run-time - please ensure the C++ projects raw-player/Decoders
are built prior to publishing or launching the debug/release executable.
The raw-player/Player.Windows.sln
solution includes a publish profile to build a standalone single-file executable with an embedded .net runtime. This executable can be run on systems without .net runtimes installed.
Building OCTOPUS RAW Player requires Visual Studio 2022 for Mac (with Xamarin.Mac version 8.12 or newer) and Xcode 13 or newer. The OCTOPUS RAW Player project references several NuGet packages which are normally automatically restored prior to building. (See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/mac/nuget-walkthrough?view=vsmac-2022 for more information)
The OCTOPUS RAW Player application for macOS is built from the raw-player/Player.macOS.sln
C# solution file. Visual Studio for Mac does not support C++ projects - native library dependencies must be built manually from the raw-player/Decoders/Decoders.macOS.xcworkspace
Xcode workspace prior to building the C# solution.
Cross platform (Windows/macOS) C# and C++ source code and projects/solutions/workspaces including OpenGL GPU kernel source (GLSL)
