  Avid DnX MXF AUdio Compression

  Posted by Michael Urban on April 11, 2013 at 5:38 am

  Hi,

  I am trying to find out when audio is encoded from a broadcast .wav file, along with video into a Avid DnX MXF is the audio compressed at all?

  I can find lots of info about the video compression but none about the audio.
  I will be using Assimilate Scratch Lab to encode from F65 media that will be synced to master broadcast .wav files.

  Any info on this is greatly appreciated!!

  Thanks in advance,
  Mike.

  No compression in Avid MXF audio. If the source is polyphonic (multiple channels wrapped into a single file), it will be extracted to monophonic MXF files. These will be PCM inside and MXF container.

  Hi Job,

  Thanks for the reply, that is what I suspected but needed to double check.
