    DPX is a specification for a file format that supports whatever resolution. What resolution are you looking for? DS supports 2K, 4K, 6K, etc, but performance will differ.

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for your reply.

    There is a particular workflow where we will be working with DPX files in SD PAL resolution and these files will be sent to different systems for grading, and compositing on the Avid DS.

    More questions :

    1) Does the Avid DS need to convert the DPX to its internal .gen format before it can work with the files or can it work directly on the DPX files ?

    2) Does it render out DPX files as well ?

    3) And if it does, will it preserve the metadata information in the DPX headers, such as timecode/keycode ?

    Thanks,
