  • How many Terabytes per hour for Panasonic Varicam

    Posted by Bill Miller on April 10, 2006 at 6:47 pm

    I just shot a project using the Panasonic Varicam. @ 30P, HD720P. Does anyone know how many Terabytes per hour of recorded material I will get when loading this into Final Cut pro?

    Thanks

    The beauty of DVCPro HD, it’s GB not TB that you need. As gary noted, about 30GB per hour at 30fps.

    You can download the ever-useful Aja Data Rate calculator to see just how much disk space the DVCProHD codec is saving you compared to, say, Uncompressed.

    Scroll to the bottom of this page: https://aja.com/support_kona.html and look for AJA Data Rate Calculator Application (Version 1.2)
