Uncompressed bitrate

• Megapixels: 2.1 MP (2,073,600 pixels)
• Aspect ratio: 1.78:1 (HD 16:9)
• 1 frame of RGB 3x8bit: 6.22MB (2.1 MP x 24 bits)
• Interlaced: 50 fps x 6.22MB x 50% (interlacing) = 1.24Gbps = 155.52MB/s
• Progressive: 50 fps x 6.22MB = 2.49Gbps = 311.04MB/s
• Longer durations: 18.66GB/min = 1.12TB/hr
