Alias

This option creates files that are compatible with Alias/Wavefront systems.

BMP

Windows

This option creates files that are compatible with systems running the Microsoft Windows operating system.

OS/2

This option creates files that are compatible with systems running the IBM OS/2 operating system.

Chyron

Developed by Chyron Corporation for use with video frame buffers of Chyron character generator titles.

Cineon

Blackpoint (Windows) BlackáPoint (Macintosh)

This option allows you to adjust a film exposure value that corresponds to filming a 2% black card. Values can be between 0 and 1022. The default value of 0 is adequate for most uses.

Whitepoint (Windows) White Point (Macintosh)

This option allows you to adjust a film exposure value that corresponds to filming a 90% white card. Values can be between 1 and 1023.

If the files came from and will be transferred back to a Cineon system, use a white point of 1023. The default value of 685 is appropriate if the final destination is not a Cineon system — for example, a video display.

Gamma

This option specifies an adjustment to correct for any gamma inconsistencies in the output display. Values can be between 0.01 and 100.0.

Use a value of 1.0 (the default) for images displayed on a PC monitor. Use a value of 0.59 for a SiliconáGraphics or a Macintosh monitor.

Use a value of 0.45 for ITU-R 601 (CCIR 601) video.

ERIMovie

Pack 24 bits

This option controls whether the image data is packed into 24-bit color depth (compressed) or is saved as 32-bit (raw) color depth.

Framestore

The Framestore format is a 16-bit video image format used on the Amiga in conjunction with Newtek's VideoáToaster hardware. HIIP supports both compressed and uncompressed Framestore formats.

IFF

Developed by Electronic Arts. IFF (Interchange File Format), or more specifically IFF-ILBM (InterLeaved BitMap), is the standard file format by which applications on the Amiga platform transfer image files.

JPEG

Quality

This option controls the output file size and quality. Higher values produce better images but larger file sizes. Conversely, lower values reduce the image quality but result in smaller file sizes.

Baseline

This option is selected by default. To see if this option is required, see the documentation that came with your JPEG-supported applications.

Progressive

This option allows you to save progressive JPEG files, which divide the file into a series of scans of the image that increase in quality. Each scan progressively improves the recognizability of the image.

Progressive JPEG files can be recognized only by applications with progressive JPEG support, such as some Web browsers.

OMF

Compression

This option controls the compression ratio and, therefore, the size of the file. You can choose from all the compression ratio options used by the Avid system when recapturing. For more information on Avid compression ratios, see Compression Resolutions and Storage Requirements.

Frame Rate

NTSC/PAL

These options appear when you select a compression ratio that allows you to select either NTSC or PAL. When you select an option, the system displays the required image size and the default frame rate.

PCX

Developed by Zsoft Corporation for use with their PCáPaintBrush paint software.

Photoshop

Compression

This option controls the size of the file on disk. Disabling compression creates larger files on disk.

PICT (Windows only)

Create
MacBinary header

This option creates a file with a MacBinary header.

MacBinary is a file format for representing all the information in a Macintosh file in one binary file. It is a compact file format, useful for storing a Macintosh file on a non-Macintosh system for later retrieval. Use a file expander utility to decode a MacBinary file once it is back on a Macintosh system.

Pixar

This option allows you to save the file in the Pixar format.

PNG

Color Depth

The 8 bits option saves 8-bit files. The 16 bits option saves 16-bit files. The Automatic option saves the image in the same depth as the original loaded image.

Interlaced

This option allows you to save the file for progressive display, similar to progressive JPEG files. As the file is transmitted, the recognizability of the image improves.

Interlaced PNG files can be recognized only by applications with interlaced PNG support, such as some Web browsers.

QRT

Developed on the Amiga personal computer to run on several operating systems. Used by many ray tracing programs, such as DKB Ray Trace and the QRT ray tracer.

Rendition

Developed by Numerical Design, Ltd.

SGI

Color Depth

The 8 bits option saves 8-bit files. The 16 bits option saves 16-bit files. The Automatic option saves the image in the same depth as the original loaded image.

Softimage

Developed by Softimage«, Inc. for use in their Softimage software.

Sun Raster

Developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and supported mainly in Sun applications.

TARGA

Color Depth

This option controls how images are saved. The 5-bit option saves data in Targa 16 format. The 8-bit option saves data in Targa 24/32 format.

Compression

This setting controls the size of the file on disk. Disabling compression creates larger files on disk.

TIFF

Color Depth

The 8 bits option saves 8-bit files. The 16 bits option saves 16-bit files. The Automatic option saves the image in the same depth as the original loaded image.

Compression

This setting controls the size of the file on disk. With None, image data is not compressed and can produce large file sizes. RLE (run length encoded) produces relatively small and fairly portable files. JPEG produces files that can vary in size, depending on the quality you have set using the JPEG quality slider. The higher the quality setting, the larger the file size.

JPEG Quality

This option adjusts the image quality of the JPEG file on a sliding scale from 0 to 100. The higher the number you set, the higher the image quality of the JPEG file.

Wavefront

Format Type

This option specifies one of two output file formats supported by Wavefront (either RLA or RLB).

Color Depth

The 8 bits option saves 8-bit files. The 16 bits option saves 16-bit files. The Automatic option saves the image in the same depth as the original loaded image.

Gamma

This option specifies an adjustment to correct for gamma differences between Macintosh and Windows PC output display. This option is intended for cross-platform applications that require adjustment.

XWindows

Developed by the MIT X Consortium, and is supported by many X Window System applications on workstations and some personal computers.

YUV

Format

This option controls the video format of saved images. If set to NTSC, NTSC video format (720 x 486) is used. If set to PAL, PAL video format (720 x 576) is used. Images are either padded with black or cropped.

Smooth YUV

This option enhances the fidelity of images saved in YUV color space (if originating in RGB color space).
