# Codex

OffShoot's Codex integration features a tailor-made copy engine for Codex media built in close collaboration with Codex. It supports transfers of High Density Encoded (HDE) clips.

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature requires an OffShoot Pro license. Upgrade via the license manager, or via OffShoot > Settings > License. Check out all Pro features here.
{% endhint %}

## Requirements

1. [Hedge 19.2 or newer](/hedge/releases.md) / OffShoot 23.2 or newer (macOS only)
2. [Codex Device Manager](https://codex.online/software)

## How to use

If Codex Device Manager is installed, the integration is always active and fully automatic. Once you connect your Codex media, OffShoot will detect it and check if you are running a compatible version of the Codex Device Manager.

Codex disks work with dynamic VFS volumes. After the Codex driver has mounted the disk, it takes a while for the file system to be populated. The duration depends on the performance of your computer, and how much content is living on the disk.

When transferring a Codex drive, the Codex integration verifies Codex transfers for completeness, checking Source contents at the beginning and end of each transfer. If inconsistencies are detected, you will be prompted with an [Incomplete Codex Disk Detected alert](/offshoot/faq.md#why-does-hedge-show-an-incomplete-codex-disk-detected-alert), with an option to fix the issue.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hedge.video/offshoot/integrations/codex.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
