Quantel Demonstrates AVC-Intra Compression

"Quantel has demonstrated AVC-Intra in an exclusive technology preview at NAB.

AVC-Intra is generating considerable interest as a next-generation compression scheme that potentially offers significant improvements over today’s compression technologies.

AVC-Intra can deliver either much improved picture quality, full-sampling 4:2:2 10bit at same bit-rate as DVCPROHD, or similar picture quality to DVCPROHD at half the bit-rate. This versatility is exciting broadcasters and post houses around the world, and Quantel is exploring its full potential in all applications.

The demonstration showed material produced by Panasonic’s AVC-Intra codec being ingested and processed by a Quantel editing system."
