Video bitrate: HDCAM SR

Uncompressed bitrate

  • Megapixels: 2.1 MP (2,073,600 pixels)
  • Aspect ratio: 1.78:1 (HD 16:9)
  • 1 frame of RGB 3x10bit: 7.78MB (2.1 MP x 30 bits)
  • Interlaced: 25 fps x 7.78MB x 50% (interlacing) = 777.6Mbps = 97.2MB/s
  • Progressive: 25 fps x 7.78MB = 1.56Gbps = 194.4MB/s
  • Longer durations: 11.66GB/min = 699.84GB/hr
