Codec designs are many, as are the resulting visual fidelity and CPU requirements that result from various designs. As a general rule, most
codecs have been designed for either acquiring images or video inside a camera (JPEG, DV, DVCPRO, AVCHD, DNxHD) or for distribution
(MPEG, h.264).
CineForm has taken a different approach with its compression engine, instead designing a compression subsystem specifically optimized for the
needs of post-production, and with the inclusion of many system features. There is a codec at the heart of CineForm’s compression subsystem,
but the codec is surrounded by additional processing engines that operate underneath the AVI/MOV interface layers through which calling
applications access compressed data. This allows CineForm’s compression subsystem to perform myriad system-level features difficult to
otherwise implement.
