Container File Formats (Compressed)
The VENICE server supports different variants of MXF (e.g. MXF OP-
Atom, MXF OP-1a and P2) as well as DV (DIF) files. Both are container
TIFF *.tif
*.tiff
3×8bit RGB,
4×8bit RGBA and
8bit Luma
TIFF or Tagged Image File Format in 8 bit RGB
with or without key. Highly flexible and plat-
form-independent image format. Not all vari-
ants of this format are supported by DVS.
3 × 12 bit RGB,
4 × 12 bit RGBA and
12 bit Luma
TIFF or Tagged Image File Format in 12 bit
RGB with or without key. Highly flexible and
platform-independent image format. Not all
variants of this format are supported by DVS.
3 × 16 bit RGB,
4 × 16 bit RGBA and
16 bit Luma
TIFF or Tagged Image File Format in 16 bit
RGB with or without key. Highly flexible and
platform-independent image format. Not all
variants of this format are supported by DVS.
YUV *.qnt
*.qtl
*.yuv
*.yuv8
8 bit YUV 4:2:2 Raw 8 bit YUV file format.
3
This file has no
header. The image format is recognized by the
file size. This is done with a table of pre-
defined file sizes. Component order UYVY.
*.yuv10 10 bit YUV 4:2:2 Raw 10 bit YUV file format. This file has no
header. The image format is recognized by the
file size. This is done with a table of pre-
defined file sizes. Component order UYVY.
Bits are packed tightly from left to right for
three component samples, then two bits of
padding (zero) to fill up to four bytes. The
lines are padded to a multiple of four bytes.
The file is padded to a multiple of 512 bytes.
*.yuv16 16 bit YUV 4:2:2 Raw 16 bit YUV file format.
4
This file has no
header. The image format is recognized by the
file size. This is done with a table of pre-
defined file sizes. Each component is stored as
a 16 bit value in big-endian byte order (left-
aligned). Component order UYVY.
1) DVS saves files of this format by default in big-endian byte order. However, for a play-out
both formats (little- and big-endian byte order) are supported.
2) Regarding the file type: V2 is the DPX file format according to SMPTE 268M-2003, the
remaining (V1) are SMPTE 268M-1994. ’b.e.’ stands for big endian, ’l.e’ for little endian.
3) 8 bit YUV422: 8 bit per component, 16 bit average per pixel
4) 16 bit YUV422: 16 bit per component, 32 bit average per pixel
