    The document discusses video compression rates. It explains that compression reduces the size of stored data by throwing away some data. Formats with little or no compression are highest quality but most expensive. It provides examples of compression ratios for various video formats, from uncompressed to ratios of 2:1, 3.3:1, 5:1, and 10:1. The conclusion is that Digital S uses a mild 3.3:1 compression, providing better quality than small DV formats while being less expensive than other high-end formats.

    Compression : Rate

    • The amount by which the data you have


    decided to keep is then reduced in size
    ready for storage.
    • Some formats throw away lots of data even
    before compression takes place.
    • Best formats are those which use little or no
    compression (visually lossless). These are
    usually the most expensive.
    COMPRESSION RATES

    Simple Example
    What is the size of the original picture that
    I get to keep on tape.

    COMPRESSION RATES

    UNCOMPRESSED (D1, D5)


    2 : 1 (Digital Betacam)
    3.3 : 1 (Digital S)
    5 : 1 (DVCPro, DVCAM, DV)
    10 : 1 (Betacam SX)
    Conclusions
    • Digital S, like other high end formats uses
    mild 3.3:1 compression, producing better
    picture detail, multi-generation performance
    and less compression artifacts than the
    small DV formats.
    • Unlike the other high end formats, Digital S
    is not expensive to own and run.
