Page 41: Performance And Limitations
Performance and limitations Performance and limitations The XVC encoder is capable of encoding a single channel at 1080p60 or two channels at 1080p30 or any combination that does not reach the limit of 1920x1080x60. There are cases where the encoder will not be able to reach the maximum limit due to pre-processing which uses common resources.
