Supported DVCPRO HD Formats
Motion natively supports the following DVCPRO HD formats.
Note: Motion also supports additional uncompressed high definition formats using
third-party PCI cards. The table above shows only DVCPRO HD formats currently
supported by Motion.
A Comparison of Data Rates of Common High Definition and
Standard Definition Formats
The table below shows the relative data rates of some commonly used high
definition formats. These data rates can be used as a reference for deciding how
much hard drive space you may need for the media you want to use in your project.
