1.8.7 AVID DNXHD ® AND APPLE PRORES 422
INTRODUCTION
EVS XT2+ servers feature a native implementation of the Avid DNxHD® and Apple
ProRes 422 high definition video codecs. This enables native audio and video file
transfers in either direction between the EVS XT2+ servers, and Avid and Apple
post-production tools in High Definition. This document explains the impact of
using Avid DNxHD® and Apple ProRes codecs on XT2+ servers, on the XNet2
SDTI network and on the XFile2 or XF2 in terms of storage capacity, number of
usable video channels and network transfers.
For details on how to setup a direct connection between an HD XT2+ server and
an Avid or Apple server, please refer to the specific documents
(EVS_AvidTM_integration_v3.01 or EVS_Apple_integration_v.3.01).
VIDEO BITRATE COMPATIBILITY WITH AVID AND APPLE
PRODUCTS
Avid DNxHD® is standardized at specific bitrates according to 2 profiles:
1. Standard profile: 120Mbps in “PAL” (50Hz) and 145Mbps in “NTSC” (59.94Hz)
2. High Level profile: 185Mbps in “PAL” (50Hz) and 220Mbps in “NTSC” (59.94Hz)
Although Avid DNxHD® is standardized at the specific bitrates mentioned here
above, Avid products can seamlessly read DNxHD® files and streams at other
bitrates. DNxHD® pictures at other bitrates than those defined by the 2 official
Avid profiles can also be referred to as “VC-3” as defined in SMPTE 1019.
