Intensity and JPEG codec questions
Is the jpeg codec discrete frame capture, and can it capature timelapse event recording via HDMI? If so at what frame rates, and what limitations. This could be an annimators dream come true. Is it in fact a motion jpeg codec? Can Intensity and Multibridge Extreme coexist in the same chassis, providing adequate slot and PCIe bandwidth. If the 5.7 drivers support the jpeg codec, would this allow capture from HDMI and output to HDSDI. Is this possible with MBE and Intensity combination?
KUDOs for what appears to be another great product.

Hi Gene,
I think you are asking if the JPEG codec uses intraframe compression (each frame is treated seperately) or interframe compression such as MPEG and HDV. The JPEG codec uses intraframe compression so it is easy to edit your media when you have captured it to a JPEG timeline.
I’m not sure what you are asking in regards to timelapse event recording. Intensity needs to receive video at a standard TV rate such as 25 or 29.97 Hz. Having said that, it would probably be possible to capture Varicam material at different frame rates if a Varicam device exists with HDMI ouput. I’m not aware of one. Can you provide me with an example of the type of device from which you would like to capture a timelapse event? Does this device have HDMI output?
I am hopeful that we will be able to run Intensity and Multibridge Extreme in the one computer although I doubt the initial drivers will support that. However I expect that might be possible via a software switch as it would be nice to capture through HDMI and then output through any of the outputs of Multibridge Extreme.
Intensity is due for release soon and then the engineers can look at whether they can run Intensity alongside other cards in the same computer. I can’t promise that but we’d like to do it if we can and I am hopeful it can be achieved.
