KONA 3G Installation and Operation Guide — What’s In The Box?

Apple ProRes 422

and Apple ProRes

422 HQ (SD or HD)

Data rate: Approximately 18 MB/second ProRes 422, Approximately 31 MB/second ProRes 422

HQ— supported by internal system drive or attached storage

Quality: Excellent (broadcast quality)

Captured media is virtually indistinguishable from pristine uncompressed sources. Better yet,

ProRes maintains the quality during editing, surviving multiple encoding/decoding generations

without degradation. It was designed by Apple for editing, not as a transmission/distribution

codec as are most popular codecs. Advantages include:

• Full-size 1920-by-1080 and 1280-by-720 HD resolutions.

• Full-size 720-by-486 and 720-by-576 SD resolutions.

• 4:2:2 chroma sampling providing precise compositing and blending at sharp saturated-

color boundaries.

• 10-bit sample depth preserving subtle gradients of 10-bit sources (perfect for green-screen

compositing, graphics or color correction) with no visible banding artifacts.

• One frame-only encoding ensuring consistent quality in every frame and no artifacts from

complex motion.

• Variable bit-rate (VBR) encoding (“Smart” encoding) analyzes the image and allocates more

bits to complex frames.

• Low data rate requirements make for more storage options and require less drive space to

store high-quality video.
