  3840×2160 (16:9) 25 fps 604 MB/sec CODEC for desktop PB

  Posted by Hilary Koob-sassen on May 13, 2008 at 1:15 pm

  Hello all,
  I am looking for a codec that I can render to from AE and FCP, and can preview 1/2 or 3/4 scaled and actual scle (partial) on my 30″ mac desktop.

  the AJA whack test on Dulce RX shows (720MB/sec.)easily enough disk throughput to handle 604MB/sec,
  but apple uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 won’t play more than 5sec.

  my problem is not editing and rendering of which I will do a variety of methods, but rather

  ?????what uncompressed codec etc. to render TO????….how to see it,
  1/2 or 3/4 scale or actual scale (partial)
  on my 30″ desktop
  so I can check composition…before we finnally have it chopped up for seperate projectors or in the very fancy installation projection system

  or to identify the hardware/software bottle necks to playing such a frame size on my desktop.

  thanks,
  Hilary

  FCP can play your timeline full screen, provided you will be playing this ON the edit rig.

  If that doesn’t work for you, you can consider buying or downloading the trial of the Sheer Video Codec. This is a lossless codec (not uncompressed) and the file size is typically much smaller than uncompressed with no visual degradation. The datarate is also much lower than uncompressed, which means less strain on your throughput.
