Whats the picture quality of Casablanca?
Casablanca’s digital video greatly exceeds broadcast quality. Horizontal resolution extends beyond 700 lines in both MPEG-2 and DV modes. Casablanca’s MPEG-2 IBP codec is endorsed by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers and the European Broadcasting Union. These same organizations endorse Casablanca’s DV25 codec for Electronic News Gathering applications. The EBU’s tests confirmed that both Casablanca’s digital video compression formats provide picture quality equal to or better than Betacam SP which is regarded as analogue video’s best tape format.
