Transcode/Direct Convert Formats
You can encode or direct convert media in the following media formats using the AAF
encoder:
• AVC Intra 50 (4:2:0) and 100 (4:2:2) at 720p/1080i
• DNxHD 720p/1080i/1080p
• DV25
• DVCPRO 25/50 NTSC/PAL
• IMX 30/40/50 NTSC/PAL
• XDCAM HD 4:2:0/4:2:2
Transcode-only Formats
You can encode media in the following media formats using the AAF encoder:
• H.264 Proxy 800kbps
• H.264 Proxy 1.5 | 2Mbps (Available when using the 2014.14 or later Transcoder.)
• JFIF (JPEG Interchange Format) NTSC/PAL
Preservation of Ancillary data is not supported with the AAF Encoder’s H.264 Proxy
codec.
CAUTION: Direct convert processing of XDCAM HD 4:2:2 with the decoder set to Auto
has been known to fail intermittently, depending on the input media content. This
intermittent failure can be eliminated by setting the decoder to Telestream.
