Video file formats and settings can be pretty complicated, and it’s all about trading off file sizes against quality. 8-bit video capture keeps file sizes smaller and is pretty much a universal common ...

Color depth and chroma subsampling are probably two of the most misunderstood aspects of digital video. Trying to educate someone about them usually devolves into a simple “more is better” conclusion, ...

What’s the cost of an underused hardware resource? If you spec your microcontroller to have a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) but only require 8 bits, you’ve paid for extra performance that ...

Few things are more frustrating than a requirement for some feature that exceeds the ability of your present hardware. Say you’re designing a product that has historically required an 8-bit digital-to ...

I’ve been doing some transcoding of videos from x264 to x265NVENC. So far some of the results have gotten really good compression ratios but I end up being disappointed by a lot of the banding that ...
