  • BROADCAST CODEC?

    Posted by Sedesign on October 31, 2005 at 5:42 pm

    I wanted to see what codecs others were using out there for broadcast quality in FCP. At the moment my only choice is DV/DVCPRO50 inside FCP. My Mpeg2 coded doesnt work. It says i have to serialize DVD Studio Pro first, and it is serialized. If anyone knows the answer to that one let me know. Thank you.

    .LAME.

    DVCPro 50 is good…as is 8-bit and 10bit uncompressed.

    But most of this depends on how you output. What media format are you outputting to? DVCPro 50? Digibeta?

    well ultimately we deliver the broadcast using an Mpeg2 stream. However, This process takes place inside the streambox, and i believe can be bypassed, which whereinlies my concern. I know that DV/NTSC is a very high compression scheme with lots of data loss. This scheme is reversed when captured into FCP (depending on what codec is set) in this situation its DV/NTSC which is the same as the tape therefore i dont think there is much happening there…
