2、 for long GOP,Goal: generate a post produce-able Digibeta quality master Practical tests with various test material Long-GOP vs I-frame Constant (CBR) vs Variable Bit Rate (VBR) Example: assume archive asset at 14 Mbps 12 Mbps video + 1.5 Mbps audio + data 6.3 GB storage space required for 1 hour 22

3、.5 GB for 50 Mbps I-frame only Issues Storage cost Access / transfer time Number of simultaneous clients (e.g. edit),39,SOLD TO TURNER,Ingest for server play-out & Master delivery applications,HD encoding solution for server play-out Benefits: Highest quality results, including at DS-3 bitrates (ie

4、45 Mbps) Easy integration with broadcast server (Pinnacle at Turner) Flexibility on the audio: ability to mix stereo and multichannel, uncompressed and compressed (Dolby E, Dolby AC-3, etc.),40,Ingest for server play-out & Master delivery applications,Ingest Station,CORE,Source from production site,
