| Print | |  Email

The Drastic YCbCr codec for QuickTime, Video For Windows and Direct Show allowed third party applications to use files (AVI and MOV primarily) generated by Drastic's Titan Series DDRs, MediaNXS batch I/O software and MediaReactor file transcoding software.  This codec is a legacy software from Drastic.  It has been incorporated into the MediaReactor Workstation software for Windows and OS-X.<

The codecs support cross conversion between YCbCr colors paces as well as conversion to and from RGB/BGR24, RGBA/BGRA32. For translating between RGB(A) and YCbCr (also called YUV by some manufacturers), the Drastic codec provides a wide variety of transform matrices included CCIR 601, RP 709, SMPTE 240M and SMPTE 274M. Each may use full scale (computer) translation or the more traditional video scale (sRGB/SMPTE) for translation. Separate matrices are available for encoding and decoding as well as HD and SD material for maximum flexibility.

  • CCIR 601-2 Standard Video Range (Y 64..940)
  • CCIR 601-2 Extended Range (Y 0..1023)
  • SMPTE 240M Standard Video Range
  • SMPTE 240M Extended Range (Y 0..1023)
  • SMPTE 274M Standard Video Range
  • SMPTE 274M Extended Range (Y 0..1023)
  • NOTE:
    • For SMPTE 293, use CCIR 601-2
    • For SMPTE RP-177, use SMPTE 274M
    • For ITU-R BT 709-2, use SMPTE 274M
    • For 709-1, use SMPTE 240M
    • For SMPTE 296M, use SMPTE 274M
    • For Vesa, use SMPTE 274M
