Format |
Image Quality |
Hardware Requirement |
|---|---|---|
7th 6to1 |
Medium |
6:1 compression, lowest hardware requirements; a legacy format no longer used |
7th 420 |
Good |
[4:2:0] This is 2:1 compression, and can be the best compromise between quality and performance High performance disks required |
7th 420 Z |
Good |
[4:2:0] 2:1 compression with lossless compression. High performance CPU and disks required |
7th 422 |
Excellent |
[4:2:2] This is 1.5:1 compression, and improves on the 420 format for quality. High performance disks required |
7th 422 Z |
Excellent |
[4:2:2] 1.5:1 compression with lossless compression. High performance CPU and disks required |
7th 422 10 bit |
Excellent |
[4:2:2] Added colour depth. This is 1.5:1 compression, and improves on the 420 format for quality. High performance disks required |
7th RGB Z |
Perfect |
Lossless compression. High performance CPU and disks required |
7th 444 |
Perfect |
[4:4:4] No compression. 8-, 10- or 12-bit High performance disks required |
7th 444A |
Perfect |
[4:4:4:4] No compression High performance disks required |
7th HapQ (YCoCgS) |
Good to Excellent |
3:1 compression |
YUV 422 |
Excellent |
[4:2:2] Raw, single 422 frames in 2VUY [UYVY] 8-bit format. SSD disks required |
DPX |
Perfect |
No compression, can be 8, 10 or 12-bit SSD disks required |
CIN |
Perfect |
No compression, can be 8 or 10-bit SSD disks required |
A7S |
Perfect |
No compression (can be losslessly compressed), can be 8 or 10-bit, RGB or 422 colour space. SSD disks required |
TGA |
Perfect |
Uncompressed or RLE compression, 24-bit (can have 8-bit alpha plane) or 16-bit (optional 1-bit alpha plane). Single file per frame TGA files are supported (will require SSD disks). |
SGI |
Perfect |
No compression, 8-bit SSD disks required |
Note that TGA, A7S, CIN, DPX and SGI sequences can be used as movies with a system using SSD and NVMe disks. |
BMP, TIF, JPG2000 and JPG are not optimised for real-time playback, but can be used as a source movie for recording out to another format.
