Hudson and Rex Episodes

It has come to my attention that Hudson and Rex episodes are not easily accessible to a lot of people, despite it being broadcasted in many countries. I was looking for a place to archive the episodes myself in good quality as a backup but up until recently, the 1080p rips were huge so it was an impossible feat. I finally found some mkv ones that are not as ginormous as the others, and I'd like to share them with the fandom.

Disclaimer: I did not do these rips or the transcoding. I haven't checked the episodes one by one to see if there are any faults with them, just a few as random tests, I also watched a few, and they were all good, subtitles were working and in sync, etc.

What you need to know before downloading:

The files are in mkv format and Mega, the host I've uploaded them on, does NOT have a player to play MKVs online. The links are for downloading, or alternatively transferring to your own Mega account, not for online streaming.

The video codec is HEVC, which is why the size of the episodes is not huge. That might affect some older computers which may not have this codec, though. Read about HEVC here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Video_Coding and if it's missing, you can add the HEVC codec.

Same goes for your tv if you choose to play them in one (although you probably can't add the codec there). I generally recommend downloading one episode as a test. If it plays in your device, they all should play in that device.

Most of the files have forced English subtitles on them. I am unfamiliar with forced subtitles in general. You may have trouble removing them on a tv, maybe. I've tested them only using VLC on my computer and they can appear and disappear just fine when I choose so like normal subs do. Forced subtitles are not hard-coded subtitles.

Episodes S01E01 - S06E06 were all transcoded by one team as it was a pack, the rest by another, as the first pack was uploaded during this winter hiatus and there was no other upload by the first team for the rest. I only see small differences between the episodes, not worthy of a mention. I've kept the original file names, so you will know when the teams change if you're interested in that (team name is the last input on the title of the file).

The size of all the episodes in total is around 92GB. When you go to download them, each file will also display the size of it.

How to download (skip this if you've downloaded from Mega before):

Even if you have set your browser to ask you where to download the file, Mega will download the file you requested entirely before asking you were to save it. It's how their cloud service works. You don't need to download anything else to get these files, just right-click a file and click Download, and then Standard Download when the submenu opens. You do not need to download the Mega Desktop App, unless you want to download the entire folder at once as a ZIP file. I don't know how many concurrent downloads a free user gets on Mega, or limitations regarding the GBs per day on free users.

Mega suggests users download using Chrome or a Chromium based browser, however downloading the files one by one should work in any browser.

If you have a download manager, just load these folders in it and it will do the job better than your browser.

If you attempt this with a smartphone, then I highly suggest you download the Mega mobile app. I don't think the files will download to your phone otherwise.

Links:

These lead to each season's folder of episodes. Only copy the link below, do not copy the season identifier at the start of each line. Make sure you copy the entire link especially the S4 one which apparently continues in a second line.

S1: https://mega.nz/folder/1ZMTlbpY#DqS2V2KKgeajbINzx8c6Pg

S2: https://mega.nz/folder/kZE1yTTC#p29HrvXgahGXW-0rlzx77Q

S3: https://mega.nz/folder/0Bt3gBJL#hcX7tjU1GScmprTc0nkc0w

S6: https://mega.nz/folder/lBUFnBwb#WszZvKLzfpRKVvuz5B78Nw

S7: https://mega.nz/folder/kJlEFCLJ#exM6rRVhPtNSULhvsjHWZg

About Season 7 rips: I will upload the first rip that is up so that we won't waste time, this is usually a HDTV rip by the release team SYNCOPY (so basically the episode as seen on tv without ads, usually with the promo, in 720p, no subtitles - subtitles will be added on the same folder in separate link, if any). Later, this will be replaced with 1080p links. Please, check the link periodically to find more links. The goal is to have 1080p Webrips around 1GB for each episode.

Other information:

I'll try to keep the links up as long as I can but I suggest keeping your own copies. Mega does not offer that amount of space for free, so this is a paid cloud service. I'm not looking for anyone to participate on the upkeep but there might be a day when these links will be taken down for any number of reasons. Personally, I don't trust the cloud. Keep local copies of anything you don't want to lose.

If these are reported, I will not be reuploading them and I assume that reporting may also take down my account with them so I will probably also not be able to be a paying customer of their service either way. So, keep the sharing of the links within the fandom. I will not tag this post, but I highly encourage reblogging it to spread the info.

I suggest that anyone who wants to share this with a lot of people should make their own cloud backup. The purpose of me uploading these links is, ironically, not piracy. The purpose is to make the episodes easily accessible to fans.

I will not upload these in other cloud services, if anyone wants to go upload these in google drive, for example, I'm not willing to risk it but of course, anyone else willing to do it is welcome to.

If anyone has questions or concerns, I'll be glad to answer them. Not everyone is familiar with hosting sites, but this is easier than a torrent. I'm sure I've forgotten things which to me may seem simple.

Video Transcoding: An Essential Process for Content Distribution Across Multiple Platforms

What is Video Transcoding It refers to the process of converting a video file from one format or codec to another. This allows video files captured or encoded in one format to be played back on devices that support different formats. Transcoding is necessary because video formats have different technical specifications for things like resolution, frame rate, audio channels and compression standards. Need for Video Transcoding The need for transcoding arises because videos today need to be consumed across a wide variety of platforms like smartphones, tablets, desktops and streaming devices. However, not all devices or platforms support the same video formats. While a high-resolution movie may play fine on a high-end desktop, the same file may be too large for a mobile device with limited processing power and storage. Transcoding allows video content distributors to create optimized versions of a video tailored for specific devices or networks. Some key reasons why transcoding is required include: - Device and Platform compatibility: As mentioned earlier, different devices have varying support for video formats. Transcoding ensures the video can play on the target device. - File size optimization: Transcoding to lower resolutions and bitrates helps reduce file sizes, important for streaming over cellular networks or for devices with limited space. - Encoding optimizations: Transcoding allows re-encoding videos using optimal encoder settings, codecs and profiles best suited for the target environment. - DRM restrictions: Video Transcoding may need to be converted to formats that support Digital Rights Management (DRM) for distribution through licensing platforms. - Subtitle/Closed caption embedding: Non-burned subtitle/caption streams can be burned into the video during transcoding. Transcoding Workflow A typical video transcoding workflow would involve the following basic steps: 1. Import and Analysis: The source video file is imported into the transcoding system which then analyses key attributes like resolution, frame rate, audio/subtitle streams etc. 2. Profile Mapping: The analyzed data is mapped to pre-defined transcoding profiles configured for various target device classes or bitrate tiers. 3. Transcoding: The source file is transcoded to the appropriate target format(s), resolutions and encoding parameters as per the matched profile using CPU/GPU transcoding. 4. Optimizations: Additional optimizations may be applied like deinterlacing, denoising, ad insertion etc. 5. Quality Check: Random transcoded clips can be checked for quality issues using automated or manual review. 6. Delivery/Distribution: The transcoded files are delivered to various streaming servers, packaged for OTT/VOD platforms or downloaded directly for local playback. Transcoding Formats and Codecs Some common formats generated during transcoding include: - MP4: A popular wrapper format generated at lower resolutions for platforms like iOS, Android, Roku etc. H.264 video with AAC audio is common. - MPEG-2 Program Stream (M2PS): Used for distribution to set-top boxes and cable/satellite systems. - Flash Video (FLV/F4V): Used for progressive download and streaming delivery to desktop browsers. - Microsoft Smooth Streaming (MSS): An adaptive bitrate format optimized for Silverlight/HTML5 delivery. - HLS: A standard HTTP Live Streaming format for OTT on mobile/desktop with H.264/AAC. - DASH: An ISO-standard dynamic adaptive format popular for premium OTT with H.264/AAC or HEVC/AAC. Popular codecs used include H.264, H.265/HEVC for video compression and AAC, MP3 for audio. Selecting the right codecs and container depends on the target audience and delivery network.

” I have footages in QT h.264 codec, 1920×1080 24p, but I found that FCP struggles with these MOV files. Any solution?”

” I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to work with the H.265 .mov files from DJI Inspire 2 in FCPX? They come up all black with no image. Any help is appriciated.”

Lisa Wilson on Apple Prores 4444 Xq Codec Mac venesafa. Dec 4, 2020 — ProRes XQ (or ProRes 4444 XQ) was released in June 2014 as an expansion to the already very robust ProRes 4444. Work at a faster clip. With its modern Metal engine, Final Cut Pro allows you to edit more. Apple ProRes is a high quality, lossy video compression format developed by Apple Inc. For use in post-production that supports video resolution up to 8K.It is the successor of the Apple Intermediate Codec and was introduced in 2007 with Final Cut Studio 2.

A MOV file is a common multimedia container file format developed by Apple and compatible with both Macintosh and Windows platforms. It may contain multiple tracks that store different types of media data and is often used for saving movies and other video files. MOV files commonly use the MPEG-4 codec for compression.

ProRes is a line of intermediate codecs, which means they are intended for use during video editing, and not for practical end-user viewing.

This codec offers nearly all the benefits of Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), but at 66 percent of the data rate for even better multistream, real-time editing performance.

The Transformation of Primary Video Distribution: Embracing the Future

Every day, millions of people tune in to watch their favorite TV shows, live events, and preferred media content. This massive exercise is made possible by distribution networks, which play a crucial role in delivering this content from the owners to the viewers.

Understanding the Relevance of Primary Distribution

As a system, Primary Distribution plays a vital role by enabling the transfer of media content like live sports events or 24/7 TV channels from creators and content owners to distribution entities. These distribution intermediaries such as broadcasters, Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPDs), Paid TV Providers, and Over-the-top media platforms, in turn, deliver the content to consumers’ screens via the delivery network of their choice, ranging from a mobile network to a cable connection, or a satellite TV to a terrestrial TV.

When it comes to the professional distribution of live events or archive media for 24/7 channels, the distribution entities need a system that enables them to deliver the content securely, reliably, and in high quality. The video primary distribution, which has evolved from satellite transmission to IP-based delivery and cloud operations, offers flexibility, cost savings, and adaptability. Hybrid distribution models are also considered as a viable option.

Meeting the Demands of Modern Media Delivery

The critical stage of primary distribution ensures the delivery of TV channels from the content provider's video headend and uplink to the headends of each service provider.

Video encoding in simple terms

Nowadays, it is difficult to imagine a field of human activity, in which, in one way or another, digital video has not entered. We watch it on TV, mobile devices, and stationary computers; we record it with digital cameras ourselves, or we encounter it on the roads (unpleasant, but true), in stores, hospitals, schools and universities, and in industrial enterprises of various profiles. As a consequence, words and terms that are directly related to the digital representation of video information are becoming more firmly and widely embedded in our lives. From time to time, questions arise in this area. What are the differences between various devices or programs that we use to encode/ decode digital video data, and what do they do? Which of these devices/ programs are better or worse, and in which aspects? What do all these endless MPEG-2, H.264 / AVC, VP9, H.265 / HEVC, etc. mean? Let’s try to understand.

A very brief historical reference

The first generally accepted video compression standard MPEG-2 was finally adopted in 1996, after which a rapid development of digital satellite television began. The next standard was MPEG-4 part 10 (H.264 / AVC), which provides twice the degree of video data compression. It was adopted in 2003, which led to the development of DVB-T/ C systems, Internet TV and the emergence of a variety of video sharing and video communication services. From 2010 to 2013, the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) was intensively working to create the next video compression standard, which was called High Efficient Video Coding (HEVC) by the developers; it ensured the following twofold increase in the compression ratio of digital video data. This standard was approved in 2013. That same year, the VP9 standard, developed by Google, was adopted, which was supposed to not yield to HEVC in its degree of video data compression.

Basic stages of video encoding

There are a few simple ideas at the core of algorithms for video data compression. If we take some part of an image (in the MPEG-2 and AVC standards this part is called a macroblock), then there is a big possibility that, near this segment in this frame or in neighboring frames, there will be a segment containing a similar image, which differs little in pixel intensity values. Thus, to transmit information about the image in the current segment, it is enough to only transfer its difference from the previously encoded similar segment. The process of finding similar segments among previously encoded images is called Prediction. A set of difference values that determine the difference between the current segment and the found prediction is called the Residual. Here we can distinguish two main types of prediction. In the first one, the Prediction values represent a set of linear combinations of pixels adjacent to the current image segment on the left and on the top. This type of prediction is called Intra Prediction. In the second one, linear combinations of pixels of similar image segments from previously encoded frames are used as prediction (these frames are called Reference). This type of prediction is called Inter Prediction. To restore the image of the current segment, encoded with Inter prediction, when decoding, it is necessary to have information about not only the Residual, but also the frame number, where a similar segment is located, and the coordinates of this segment.

Residual values obtained during prediction obviously contain, on average, less information than the original image and, therefore, require a fewer quantity of bits for image transmission. To further increase the degree of compression of video data in video coding systems, some spectral transformation is used. Typically, this is Fourier cosine transform. Such transformation allows us to select the fundamental harmonics in two-dimensional Residual signal. Such a selection is made at the next stage of coding — quantization. The sequence of quantized spectral coefficients contains a small number of main, large values. The remaining values are very likely to be zero. As a result, the amount of information contained in quantized spectral coefficients is significantly (dozens of times) lower than in the original image.

In the next stage of coding, the obtained set of quantized spectral coefficients, accompanied by the information necessary for performing prediction when decoding, is subjected to entropy coding. The bottom line here is to align the most common values of the encoded stream with the shortest codeword (containing the smallest number of bits). The best compression ratio (close to theoretically achievable) at this stage is provided by arithmetic coding algorithms, which are mainly used in modern video compression systems.

From the above, the main factors affecting the effectiveness of a particular video compression system become apparent. First of all, these are, of course, the factors that determine the effectiveness of the Intra and Inter Predictions. The second set of factors is related to the orthogonal transformation and quantization, which selects the fundamental harmonics in the Residual signal. The third one is determined by the volume and compactness of the representation of additional information accompanying Residual and necessary for making predictions, that is, calculating Prediction, in the decoder. Finally, the fourth set has the factors that determine the effectiveness of the final stage- entropy coding.

Let’s illustrate some possible options (far from all) of the implementation of the coding stages listed above, on the example of H.264 / AVC and HEVC.

AVC Standard

In the AVC standard, the basic structural unit of the image is a macroblock — a square area of 16x16 pixels (Figure 1). When searching for the best possible prediction, the encoder can select one of several options of partitioning each macroblock. With Intra-prediction, there are three options: perform a prediction for the entire block as a whole, break the macroblock into four square blocks of 8x8 size, or into 16 blocks with a size of 4x4 pixels, and perform a prediction for each such block independently. The number of possible options of macroblock partitioning under Inter-prediction is much richer (Figure 1), which provides adaptation of the size and position of the predicted blocks to the position and shape of the object boundaries moving in the video frame.

In AVC, pixel values from the column to the left of the predicted block and the row of pixels immediately above it are used for Intra prediction (Figure 2). For blocks of sizes 4x4 and 8x8, 9 methods of prediction are used. In a prediction called DC, all calculated pixels have a single value equal to the arithmetic average of the “neighbor pixels” highlighted in Fig. 2 with a bold line. In other modes, “angular” prediction is performed. In this case, the values of the “neighbor pixels” are placed inside the predicted block in the directions indicated in Fig. 2.

In the event that the predicted pixel gets between “neighbor pixels”, when moving in a given direction, an interpolated value is used for the prediction. For blocks with a size of 16x16 pixels, 4 methods of prediction are used. One of them is the DC-prediction, which was already reviewed. The other two correspond to the “angular” methods, with the directions of prediction 0 and 1. Finally, the fourth — Plane-prediction: the values of the predicted pixels are determined by the equation of the plane. The angular coefficients of the equation are determined by the values of the “neighboring pixels”.

Inter- Prediction in AVC can be implemented in one of two ways. Each of these options determines the type of macroblock (P or B). As a prediction of pixel values in P-blocks (Predictive-blocks), the values of pixels from the area located on the previously coded (reference) image, are used. Reference images are not deleted from the RAM buffer, containing decoded frames (decoded picture buffer, or DPB), as long as they are needed for Inter-prediction. A reference list is created in the DPB from the indexes of these images.

The encoder signals to the decoder about the number of the reference image in the list and about the offset of the area used for prediction, with respect to the position of predicted block (this displacement is called motion vector). The offset can be determined with an accuracy of ¼ pixel. In case of prediction with non-integer offset, interpolation is performed. Different blocks in one image can be predicted by areas located on different reference images.

In the second option of Inter Prediction, prediction of the B-block pixel values (bi-predictive block), two reference images are used; their indexes are placed in two lists (list0 and list1) in the DPB. The two indexes of reference images in the lists and two offsets, that determine positions of reference areas, are transmitted to the decoder. The B-block pixel values are calculated as a linear combination of pixel values from the reference areas. For non-integer offsets, interpolation of reference image is used.

As already mentioned, after predicting the values of the encoded block and calculating the Residual signal, the next coding step is spectral transformation. In AVC, there are several options for orthogonal transformations of the Residual signal. When Intra-prediction of a whole macroblock with a size of 16x16 is implemented, the residual signal is divided into 4x4 pixel blocks; each of them is subjected to an integer analog of discrete two-dimensional 4x4 cosine Fourier transform.

The resulting spectral components, corresponding to zero frequency (DC) in each block, are then subjected to additional orthogonal Walsh-Hadamard transform. With Inter-prediction, the Residual signal is divided into blocks of 4x4 pixels or 8x8 pixels. Each block is then subjected to a 4x4 or 8x8 (respectively) two-dimensional discrete cosine Fourier Transform (DCT, from Discrete Cosine Transform).

In the next step, spectral coefficients are subjected to the quantization procedure. This leads to a decrease in bit capacity of digits representing the spectral sample values, and to a significant increase in the number of samples having zero values. These effects provide compression, i.e. reduce the number and bit capacity of digits representing the encoded image. The reverse side of quantization is the distortion of the encoded image. It is clear that the larger the quantization step, the greater is the compression ratio, but also the distortion is greater.

The final stage of encoding in AVC is entropy coding, implemented by the algorithms of Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding. This stage provides additional compression of video data without distortion in the encoded image.

Ten years later. HEVC standard: what’s new?

The new H.265/HEVC standard is the development of methods and algorithms for compressing video data embedded in H.264/AVC. Let’s briefly review the main differences.

An analog of a macroblock in HEVC is the Coding Unit (CU). Within each block, areas for calculation of Prediction are selected — Prediction Unit (PU). Each CU also specifies the limits within which the areas for calculating the discrete orthogonal transformation from the residual signal are selected. These areas are called the Transform Unit (TU).

The main distinguishing feature of HEVC here is that the split of a video frame into CU is conducted adaptively, so that it is possible to adjust the CU boundaries to the boundaries of objects on the image (Figure 3). Such adaptability allows to achieve an exceptionally high quality of prediction and, as a consequence, a low level of the residual signal.

An undoubted advantage of such an adaptive approach to frame division into blocks is also an extremely compact description of the partition structure. For the entire video sequence, the maximum and minimum possible CU sizes are set (for example, 64x64 is the maximum possible CU, 8x8 is the minimum). The entire frame is covered with the maximum possible CUs, left to right, top-to-bottom.

It is obvious that, for such coverage, transmission of any information is not required. If partition is required within any CU, then this is indicated by a single flag (Split Flag). If this flag is set to 1, then this CU is divided into 4 CUs (with a maximum CU size of 64x64, after partitioning we get 4 CUs of size 32x32 each).

For each of the CUs received, a Split Flag value of 0 or 1 can, in turn, be transmitted. In the latter case, this CU is again divided into 4 CUs of smaller size. The process continues recursively until the Split Flag of all received CUs is equal to 0 or until the minimum possible CU size is reached. Inserted CUs thus form a quad tree (Coding Tree Units, CTU).

As already mentioned, within each CU, areas for calculating prediction- Prediction Units (PU) are selected. With Intra Prediction, the CU area can coincide with the PU (2Nx2N mode) or it can be divided into 4 square PUs of twice smaller size (NxN mode, available only for CU of minimum size). With Inter Prediction, there are eight possible options for partitioning each CU into PUs (Figure 3).

The idea of spatial prediction in HEVC remained the same as in AVC. Linear combinations of neighboring pixel values, adjacent to the block on the left and above, are used as predicted sample values in the PU block. However, the set of methods for spatial prediction in HEVC has become significantly richer. In addition to Planar (analogue to Plane in AVC) and DC methods, each PU can be predicted by one of the 33 ways of “angular” prediction. That is, the number of ways, in which the values are calculated by “neighbor”-pixels, is increased by 4 times.

We can point out two main differences of Inter- prediction between HEVC and AVC. Firstly, HEVC uses better interpolation filters (with a longer impulse response) when calculating reference images with non-integer offset. The second difference concerns the way the information about the reference area, required by the decoder for performing the prediction, is presented. In HEVC, a “merge mode” is introduced, where different PUs, with the same offsets of reference areas, are combined. For the entire combined area, information about motion (motion vector) is transmitted in the stream once, which allows a significant reduction in the amount of information transmitted.

In HEVC, the size of the discrete two-dimensional transformation, to which the Residual signal is subjected, is determined by the size of the square area called the Transform Unit (TU). Each CU is the root of the TU quad tree. Thus, the TU of the upper level coincides with the CU. The root TU can be divided into 4 parts of half the size, each of which, in turn, is a TU and can be further divided.

The size of discrete transformation is determined by the TU size of the lower level. In HEVC, transforms for blocks of 4 sizes are defined: 4x4, 8x8, 16x16, and 32x32. These transformations are integer analogs of the discrete two-dimensional Fourier cosine transform of corresponding size. For size 4x4 TU with Intra-prediction, there is also a separate discrete transformation, which is an integer analogue of the discrete sine Fourier transform.

The ideas of the procedure of quantizing spectral coefficients of Residual signal, and also entropy coding in AVC and in HEVC, are practically identical.

Let’s note one more point which was not mentioned before. The quality of decoded images and the degree of video data compression are influenced significantly by post-filtering, which decoded images with Inter-prediction undergo before they are placed in the DPB.

In AVC, there is one kind of such filtering — deblocking filter. Application of this filter reduces the block effect resulting from quantization of spectral coefficients after orthogonal transformation of Residual signal.

In HEVC, a similar deblocking filter is used. Besides, an additional non-linear filtering procedure called the Sample Adaptive Offset (SAO) exists. Based on the analysis of pixel value distribution during encoding, a table of corrective offsets, added to the values of a part of CU pixels during decoding, is determined.

In HEVC, the size of the discrete two-dimensional transformation, to which the Residual signal is subjected, is determined by the size of the square area called the Transform Unit (TU). Each CU is the quad-tree of TU’s. Thus, the TU of the upper level coincides with the CU. The root TU can be divided into 4 parts of half the size, each of which, in turn, is a TU and can be further divided.

The size of discrete transformation is determined by the TU size of the lower level. There are four transform block sizes in HEVC: 4x4, 8x8, 16x16, and 32x32. These transforms are discrete two-dimensional Fourier cosine transform of corresponding size. For 4x4 Intra-predicted blocks, could be used another discrete transform — sine Fourier transform.

The quantization of spectral coefficients of residual signal, and entropy coding in AVC and in HEVC, are almost identical.

Let’s note one more point which was not mentioned before. The quality of decoded images, hence the degree of video data compression, is influenced significantly by post-filtering, which applied on decoded Inter-predicted images before they are placed in the DPB.

In AVC, there is one kind of such filtering — deblocking filter. It masking blocking artifacts effect originating from spectral coefficients quantization after orthogonal transformation of residual signal.

In HEVC, a similar deblocking filter is used. Besides, an additional non-linear filtering procedure called the Sample Adaptive Offset (SAO) exists. Sample level correction is based either on local neighborhood or on the intensity level of sample itself. Table of sample level corrections, added to the values of a part of CU pixels during decoding, is determined.

And what is the result?

Figures 4–7 show the results of encoding of several high-resolution (HD) video sequences by two encoders. One of the encoders compresses the video data in the H.265/HEVC standard (marked as HM on all the graphs), and the second one is in the H.264/AVC standard.

Fig. 5. Encoding results of the video sequence Aspen (1920x1080 30 frames per second)

Fig. 6. Encoding results of the video sequence BlueSky (1920x1080 25 frames per second)

Fig. 7. Encoding results of the video sequence PeopleOnStreet (1920x1080 30 frames per second)

Pic. 8. Encoding results of the video sequence Traffic (1920x1080 30 frames per second) Coding was performed at different quantization values of spectral coefficients, hence with different levels of video image distortion. The results are presented in Bitrate(mbps) — PSNR(dB) coordinates. PSNR values characterize the degree of distortion.

On average, it can be stated that the PSNR range below 36 dB corresponds to a high level of distortion, i.e. low quality video images. The range of 36 to 40 dB corresponds to the average quality. With PSNR values above 40 dB, we can call it a high video quality.

We can roughly estimate the compression ratio provided by the encoding systems. In the medium quality area, the bit rate provided by the HEVC encoder is about 1.5 times less than the bit rate of the AVC encoder. Bitrate of an uncompressed video stream is easily determined as the product of the number of pixels in each video frame (1920 x 1080) by the number of bits required to represent each pixel (8 + 2 + 2 = 12), and the number of frames per second (30).

As a result, we get about 750 Mbps. It can be seen from the graphs that, in the area of average quality, the AVC encoder provides a bit rate of about 10–12 Mbit/s. Thus, the degree of video information compression is about 60–75 times. As already mentioned, the HEVC encoder provides compression ratio 1.5 times higher.

Announcing Emby Server 4.0

At long last we're pleased to announce Emby Server 4.0. This new release will begin rolling out over the next 24 hours, so please be patient. This has been our longest release period ever, and going forward we intend to get back to a more frequent release schedule. This release is packed with improved performance, updates to existing features, as well as several brand new features.   Important Upgrade Information After installing the update, the server will begin a database upgrade operation. If you attempt to open the web app during this time, you'll be given a friendly message informing you about this. This operation could take a little time, so please be patient with it.   After this is complete, any plugins you may have installed will require updates, so please check the status of this on your server dashboard. If any plugins are updated, remember that Emby Server will need to be restarted. After all updates have been applied, we recommend that you run a library scan. The first scan following the update could take longer than usual, so please be patient.   With that out of the way, let's go over the highlights of this release.   No Telemetry or Anonymous Usage Reporting   If you're wondering why the anonymous usage reporting setting has been removed, it's because not only have we removed the setting, but we've removed the function altogether. We know our audience pretty well thanks to this community, and because of that we've decided we no longed need any data reporting.   New Emby Live TV Guide Data   As previously announced, Live TV Guide Data is Now Included with Emby Premiere, if you're in the USA, Canada, or the UK. What does this mean? This means if you're in the USA, Canada or UK, you'll no longer need to setup an account with another website nor pay someone else for this data. You'll simply enter your zip code into Emby, select your channel lineup, and we'll handle retrieving your guide data.   We believe this will provide a better experience for Emby users with fewer setup steps. The new data is also quite a bit richer, and we will be looking at how we can take advantage of that to bring new Live TV features to Emby. Going forward, Live TV will require Emby Premiere in the web app, where previously this was not the case.   How to Migrate From Schedules Direct If you are setting up the server fresh, then you should use our new Emby guide provider, which will be the default. If you are already using Schedules Direct, then you can continue to use it through the remainder of your Schedules Direct subscription. Schedules Direct has pledged to continue to honor your subscriptions, and we thank them for that.   New Levels of Performance   A database re-structuring brings your Emby Server and apps to new levels of performance that were previously not possible. Screens will load faster, videos will start quicker, and more. This will also manifest itself in other areas, such as improved library scan performance, and faster live tv guide refreshes. Please Note: The first scan after the update may take quite a while depending on your library contents and exactly what features you have enabled. Please be patient as subsequent scans will be much faster.   New and Improved Hardware Acceleration   This has been rebuilt from the ground up and is better than ever. We now have sophisticated hardware detection that runs on server startup to determine what your system can support. This allows us to provide you with an "easy mode" setting:     And if you enable advanced control, you'll be able to see what was detected:     Our hardware transcoding has been rewritten to take better advantage of each of the major GPU platforms, whether it be QuickSync, Nvidia, DXVA, VAAPI, MediaCodec, or others. This will allow hardware transcoding performance to perform better than ever.   Best of all, you can now monitor this on the server dashboard. The green bar indicates the current playback position while the orange bar designates the range that has been transcoded so far.     Important: Hardware acceleration has been truly a major effort for us, and because of this, it will now require Emby Premiere on all platforms except for Nvidia Shield and Western Digital.   Transcoding Throttling is Back   This feature has returned after a two year hiatus and is better than ever. What is transcoding throttling? Sometimes your server can transcode content much quicker than you're actually watching it. When the transcoding process gets a big enough lead on your watching position, we can slow it down on the fly in order to reduce the load on your server. Then as you're watching, if we need to speed it back up, we can do that too.   And best of all, your server dashboard will show you when transcoding is being throttled:   Emby Server Now Available for Android and Nvidia Shield   Stay tuned for separate announcements.   Improved Search   Search is now faster and now supports fuzzy search! This means you don't need to type your searches perfectly in order to see the matches you're looking for. For example, if you accidentally enter "Bad Breaking", instead of "Breaking Bad", you'll still be able to see Breaking Bad in the results.   Multi-Resolution TV Shows   Without requiring any changes to your file names, we now support having multiple versions of episodes. This doesn't require any special setup and you'll now see the friendly version selection on the episode screen:     Revamped Grouping Into Collections   This has now been moved from a server setting to directly onto the Movies list screen where it can be easily toggled.     Expanded Filtering   You can now filter on more fields such as container, video codec, audio codec, subtitle codec, and more. This filters are also remembered !   Expanded User Library Access   User library access can now be controlled for sub-folders, providing you with even greater flexibility than before.   Other Improvements * Update to .NET Core 2.2 * Update to Sqlite 3.26.0 * Improve library scan performance * Improve performance of live tv guide refresh * Improve subtitle delivery performance * Support Brotli http compression * Display video size on detail screens in Media Info * Significantly reduce dlna related network traffic * Add More Like This On Live TV section * Add tabbed layouts for music videos and home videos * Add network browsing to directory picker for Linux, Android and MacOS. * Change new indicators for programs to match guide data * Rework mobile context menus * Rework tv tabs to be consistent with Emby Theater * Downloaded subtitles are now saved using the two-character language code * Improve transcoding of low bit rate hevc * Add Moviedb season image provider * Show favorite people * Support tvg-chno with m3u tuners * Support tvg-shift with m3u tuners * Allow a library to be named "backdrops", a previously reserved name * Improve server dashboard display with blue radiance theme * Improve mobile server dashboard with bottom navigation * Added live tv channels to search feature * Improve layout of live tv channels tab under live tv * Add audio books content type * Use es-MX with MovieDb when Spanish language is selected along with Mexico as the country * Improve metadata with absolute episode ordering * Cloud sync upload improvements * Support launching android server on device startup * Add container, video codec, audio codec, and subtitle codec filters * Improve multi-resolution naming recognition * Improve automatic refreshing in the web app * Improve resiliency with iptv streams * Improve Windows sleep prevention while server is being used * Improve Chromecast volume control * Improve xmltv parsing of European characters * Support multiple images with xmltv * Use transcode=none profile for HD Homerun when appropriate * Support splitting musicbrainz id's on both slashes and semi-colons * Make alpha pickers dynamic based on content * Improve identify feature * Improve manual refreshing when replacing existing images * Improve database cleanup procedures of removed content * Improve automatic refreshing of recordings * Restore user permission to change password and profile image * Prevent syncing of in-progress recordings * Improve authentication failure logging for Fail2ban support * Add API to find item by provider id * Update new user defaults to not allow deleting media * Make news notifications configurable * Reduce size of Windows and MacOS installers by 30 MB * Support user subtitle download permissions * Defer collage image generation until images are needed * Move AudioDb and Omdb to pre-installed plugins * Move fanart.tv to pre-installed plugin * Move MusicBrainz to pre-installed plugin * Move MovieDb metadata provider to pre-installed plugin * Move nfo saver to pre-installed plugin * Move tvdb to pre-installed plugin * Support per-library resume settings Bug Fixes * Fix issue of changing password in Firefox when Firefox password manager is used * Fix repeated Visual Studio C++ install prompts when VS2017 is already present * Fix favorite artists page showing empty list * Fix search by accent characters * Fix web access by ipv6 ip address * Fix More Like This for artists always showing same content * Fix xmltv programs not being marked as new when they are also a Premiere * Fix recording image file names for shows containing a period in the name * Workaround .net core crashes on network availability changes * Fix collection and playlist separation per library * Fix hardware transcoding options being reverted to defaults * Fix cloud sync upload throttle not being applied * Fix xmltv failures with SMB paths * Fix audio books getting immediately marked as watched * Fix intermittent crash associated with log file rotation * Fix windows task scheduler entries not getting cleaned up * Fix typo in Exynos spelling * Fix remote URL showing with remote access disabled * Various DLNA bug fixes http://dlvr.it/QwgNpv

#5dtorgb workflow with samsung nx1 pro

DaVinci Resolve is not required, the workflow is geared towards Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro X! It also makes the NX1 compatible with Film Convert on the Sony A7S S-LOG+1 Profile. Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015 supports HEVC however the performance just is not there yet because my GPU lacks HEVC hardware support so I interchange with the old workflow a lot. The Hybrid AF system, combined with a new stripe pattern AF illuminator, promises low light focusing at light levels as low as -4EV. I cannot speak for Geoff but I got a pretty simple workflow. The biggest features are a 28.2MP APS-C-size BSI CMOS sensor and Hybrid AF system that covers 90 of the frame. This makes the NX1 compatible with a broad range off existing LUTs for quick grading-styles and moods. The NX1 is Samsungs flagship mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. With the GammaDR2LOG set as an Input LUT or at the time of transcoding from H.265 to an editable format, an output LUT can then be applied over the top of the LOG footage. This creates footage which is much easier to colour correct and responds better to colour grading. Included in the book is a LOG LUT for converting GammaDR shot NX1 footage to a flatter picture profile, close to Canon LOG. To get the best out of this camera for video, filmmaker Andrew Reid has spent 8 months shooting with the NX1 and optimising his camera, the workflow and the colour path for cinematic imagery. Now this knowledge is yours with The EOSHD Samsung NX1 Setup Guide. One of the most promising 4K mirrorless cameras of recent times, the NX1 combines spellbinding image quality with a rugged body and satisfying ergonomics. When applied in EditReady, this will convert 8bit NX1 H.265 footage to 10bit ProRes with a LOG curve similar to Canon LOG! Shoot better video with the NX1 Full step-by-step instructions for use are in the guide. Every camera feature explained for filmmakers and video shootersĪbove: GammaDR 2 LOG converts NX1 footage shot using the in-camera GammaDR profile to proper LOG footage which can be matched with a variety of looks and output LUTs in your edit.LOG workflow developed by Andrew Reid to convert Gamma DR footage from the NX1 to LOG (a flat 10bit file that grades better).Recommended video settings and pro tips for optimal performance.Tutorial guide by filmmaker Andrew Reid.Special offer – now just $19.99 (usual price $29.99)
