Uncompressed 10bit 4:2:2 on PC?

Hi,

We're using the Quicktime uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 as our codec of choice in FCP. Does anyone know where it comes from and if it is possible to put it on a PC machine? We're using a Decklink Extreme card to capture but I've downloaded the PC codecs and its not included there, nor in the latest QT7 release for PC. I'm fairly new to Macs so I don't know if the codec comes from FCP, Decklink, QT or OSX.

Cheers and hope everyone has a great Christmas,
Paul

G5, Mac OS X (10.4.2)

It is a quicktime codec. There are several blackmagic codecs that are also 10-bit 4:2:2, and they are called BLACKMAGIC 10-BIT 4:2:2...the base one is QT...
I don't think a PC would work with it. PCs are AVI based.

Okay, thanks. Must be something to do with the Quicktime that comes bundled with FCP. For the record, I'm using quicktimes just fine through AE on PC, but yeah I don't know any editing apps that natively use it on PC

We had the same problem. We were wanting to render animations in AfterEffects on a PC and import them into our FCP 10-bit uncompressed project. We found that the AJA v210 for 10-bit uncompressed is the same codec, i.e. it does not require rendering when placed into the timeline. Use AJA 2vuy (not 2Vuy) for 8-bit uncompressed.

Download those codecs from http://www.aja.com/support_kona.html. Get the qicktime for windows codec and install it.

Good luck.
