NOTES

  • All content is 30 fps, with the exception of DPX Sequence, 8-bit, RGB, 60.
  • Readings are taken from an actor machine.
  • VFC-compatible machines run with pass-through style cards (HDMI or DP).
  • 60Hz project.
  • Genlock/framelock applied when supported.
  • One unique video file per layer, all mapped onto one screen.
  • All videos used are the same video of the specified data rate.
  • One more layer means the actor starts to drop frames.
  • Measured on r17.5, Build 74443.
