AVCIntra @ 100mbps?

[STORMDAVE]

If the Panasonic HPX2000 shoots at 1920x1080/100mbps/10bit, and Edius is going to support this, how will it handle 10bit?

Since EDIUS NLE software always processes in 8bit, it only works with the upper eight bits of the video stream (of anything 10bit really).

This is the case with AVC-Intra 10bit too. It can be argued that the difference is negligible. I'll leave the analogies to Brandon..

The real question is how many bits it stores?

In After Effects, I work in 16bit...when I render out graphics, I render out to a 10bit codec and keep a backup of the final project. Yes, there is a difference between 10bit and 8bit. If you want to see the difference, try messing with gradients, at 10bit it looks superb compared to 8bit.

10bit? The new AVCIntra codec has 2 settings, one is 8bit the other one is 10bit (@100mbps). It records to p2 cards, and once you have the raw mxf files, you can examine the files.
