OK, I'm a practitioner. What answer do you think I should give?

Of course they will - but that doesn't mean that there aren't other interfaces that carry video around in RGB form. What SHOULD I call the color encoding on DVI, if not "RGB"? Bob M.

Whatever comes naturally. ;-)

DVI's color encoding is via separate Red, Green, and Blue TMDS signals.

Not true! Radium gets perfect reception through his aluminum beanie cap. His favorite show is "TROLLS-R-US" -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A. Terrell Central Florida

It's the old "do the math" game. 30 images a second, with say 720x480 DVD video, 24 bit data words. 345,600 pixels 1,036,800 bytes 31,104,000 bytes per second. This is a data rate that is almost thinkable for a single PC hard drive. 30 images a second, with say 1920x1080 HD video, 24 bit data words. 2,073,600 pixels 6,220,800 bytes 186,624,000 bytes per second. RAID array, for sure! Back in the real world, the most uncompressed video seen outside of a camera is usually more like M-JPEG w/o i-frames.

No problem - just buy one of these. http://www.codexdigital.com/ d -- Pearce Consulting http://www.pearce.uk.com
Interesting little box, bet there are some really mean
little DSP(s) inside... probably not 386 code...

Can the DiskPacks simply be connected to another computer to access the 
data?
The Codex DiskPacks feature proprietary hardware connectors designed for 
thousands of connect/disconnect cycles and this precludes them from simply 
being connected to any other computer to access this original data. 
Moreover, the material on the DiskPacks is not stored in an 
industry-standard format (such as DPX frames) but in the camera source's 
native output - conversions to DPX, QuickTime, HD video, AVI etc. are done 
only when the material is accessed in a Codex system.

I think I saw something about 20,000 Pounds. I think that was currency, not weight - right? ;-)

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCIR_601 This is closest to raw digital video. Norbert

CCIR 601 appears to be 4:2:2 That means that the chrominance data is compressed 2:1 (Like analog NTSC is). Of course DV is compressed 4:1:1 (NTSC) or 4:2:0 (PAL)

Only if you regard reducing the sample rate as a form of compression. But then your typical 44.1kHz audio CD has also likely been reduced in sample rate from 48 or 96 kHz as recorded in the studio. Is that compression? Or just an appropriate choice of filtering and data format? The chrominance in 601 is reduced to a bandwidth that better matches the typical human perceptual bandwidth of the luminance channel. IMHO. YMMV.
