Purpose

 

To create .mxf DNxHD files.

 

Inputs

 

AV In: Input media files to be transcoded.

 

Ext. Audio (Optional): The audio tracks to be encoded. Alternatively, you can use embedded audio from movie files connected to the AV In connector, which is decided with the Use AV audio property.

 

Outputs

 

AV Out: A .mxf DNxHD file created in the destination folder, and optionally an audio file in case the audio codec is activated.

Node specific properties

 

Transcoding->Codec: DNxHD codecs support 1280x720 and 1920x1080 resolutions. Trying to render at higher resolutions will result in an encoder error. You can choose the codec as you need according to file size and image quality. Each variant is named based on bitrate and bit depth:

 

DNxHD 36 is a 36 Mb/s 8-bit codec.

 

DNxHD 120 is a 120 Mb/s 8-bit codec.

 

DNxHD 185 is a 185 Mb/s 8-bit codec.

 

DNxHD 185X is a 185 Mb/s 10-bit codec.

 

 

Tip: To import these files into Avid, simply copy them to the Avidmediafiles\# folder (# is the last number available) in the Avid storage and when starting the Avid application the index will be generated so that they appear in the Mediatool.

 

NOTE: This node requires a proprietary encoder, which may require additional licenses.
