Capabilities
Playback speed is dependent on the graphics adapter. For full 2K playback a
workstation-class graphics adapter is required. The length of the sequence that
can be played back in real time is dependent on the RAM available in the system.
FrameCycler Professional supports up to 2GB of RAM (Operation system limit).
Playback color depth is 24 bits per pixel. Cineon, DPX, and higher bit-depth
formats are converted to 8 bits per channel linear color using a look-up table.
Special versions of FrameCycler Professional for stereoscopic (3D) playback
(full support for LCD shutter glasses) are
available upon request.
Supported File Formats
FrameCycler Professional supports the following virtually all
industry-standard file formats for RAM-buffered viewing.
Sequences can be played back at full speed after being
loaded into RAM.
