NOTES

  • Content is played back at 30 fps and 60 fps as outlined in the video codec above.
  • All HD codecs listed above have an output resolution relevant to Full-HD (1920 x 1080).
  • All UHD codecs listed above have an output resolution relevant to 4K DCI (4096 x 2160).
  • One codec and frame rate tested per track.
  • One unique video file per layer.
  • One LED screen per resolution tested (Full-HD and DCI 4k)
  • The test machine is run as an actor with its GUI disabled.
  • Absolute maximum level of performance. One more layer means that the system will start to drop frames.
  • Measured against r21, build 87976.
