Sorry, but I'm confused...
I own a Decklink SDI 4k and read up on its specifications.
What does the following paragraph on its tech specs page [I'm not allowed to paste URLs(*)
] mean?
Supported Codecs
AVC-Intra, AVCHD, Canon XF MPEG2, Digital SLR, DV-NTSC, DV-PAL, DVCPRO50, DVCPROHD, DPX, HDV, XDCAM EX, XDCAM HD, XDCAM HD422, DNxHR & DNxHD, Apple ProRes 4444, Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes LT, Apple ProRes 422 Proxy, Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2, Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2, Uncompressed 10 bit 4:4:4.
It's an SDI-only card, and I thought SDI (at least SD) was always uncompressed.
What use cases are supported for these codecs? Playback, capture? And in which application?
Thanks for clearing that up for me
