Huh? This is going to be nothing like RED compression.
This is light lossless compression, Huffman, one of the most basic compression algorithms around. Think zipping a file, not creating a tiny jpg from a huge raw file. You get exactly the same file you started with when you remove th compression. It looks like they are just trying to take the edge off that heavy data bandwidth requirement.
And I'm glad it is so. Who wants to lose precious resolution. Storage is cheap. I just bought a 4TB hard drive for about $150 with discounts.
