Uncompressed bitrate

• Megapixels: 1.6 MP (1,555,200 pixels)
• Aspect ratio: 1.33:1 (TV 4:3)
• 1 frame of RGB 3x8bit: 4.67MB (1.6 MP x 24 bits)
• Interlaced: 25 fps x 4.67MB x 50% (interlacing) = 466.56Mbps = 58.32MB/s
• Progressive: 25 fps x 4.67MB = 933.12Mbps = 116.64MB/s
• Longer durations: 7GB/min = 419.9GB/hr
