Supported Codecs

The Channel Recorder supports the following containers and codecs.

Note: If a combination of CODEC / CONTAINER / RESOLUTION is not supported, Channel Recorder floods the logs with errors. If this happens stop the recording using RECORD STOP. Please make sure that the mentioned combination are supported by consulting the tables below.

Note: Only the containers AVCINTRAMXF, DVCPROMXF, XDCAMMXF, XAVCMXF support capturing of closed captions. The closed captions must be part of SMPTE 334M CDP. The captured close caption is found in the recorded clip in the wrapper according to SMPTE 436M and in the actual MXF essence.

Note: The examples below are not exhaustive. Some parameters such as the number of audio channels have other options.
