Arriraw ADA-7sw vs ADA-7hw

found a case where it make a difference

greenscreen shot on alexa35, using ada7sw in the arri reference tool i get somewhat cleaner edges vs using ada7-hw in resolve (flame crashes when I try to export arriraw to exrs with denoising applied thats why i had to use resolve)

also arri reference tool exports broken exrs when you select anything but uncompressed exrs :joy: anyhow - interesting will use ART for my pulls on crucial jobs .

Have to also check flames decoding and if it support ada7sw , it was only released by arri in may 2024 so idk if it made it into any softeare yet

Hardware decode:

Software decode:

@finnjaeger - it looks like 2025.1 only uses ADA-5sw or ADA-5hw for decoding Arriraw & Arriraw7 material.
Perhaps it’s in 2025.1.1?
