Avid’s Digital Nonlinear Extensible High Definition codec with intra-frame compression is designed for multi-generation compositing with reduced storage and bandwidth requirements. It has four levels to match quality requirements and manageable data volumes. 145 or 220 Mb/s 8-bit and 220 Mb/s 10-bit all at 4:2:2. There is also a 36 Mb/s version for HD offline. This offers HD post at SD data rates, or less, meaning that infrastructure and storage requirements can be as for uncompressed SD. DNxHD is assigned as VC-3 by SMPTE.
