Bitrate: DCP 2K Half

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: 24 fps x 6.22MB x 50% (interlacing) = 597.2Mbps = 74.65MB/s
  • Progressive: 24 fps x 6.22MB = 1.19Gbps = 149.3MB/s
  • Longer durations: 8.96GB/min = 537.48GB/hr
