Nodes > Tasks > Encoders

Purpose

To create .dpx (Digital Picture Exchange) files (single files or enumerated sequences)

These .dpx files can include alpha channel or not, depending on the selected codec.

Inputs

AV In: The image track to be encoded.

Ext. Audio (Optional): The audio tracks to be encoded. The format of this node can not contain audio, but if the Transcoding -> Audio Codec property is used the input audio will be rendered to companion audio files as selected.

Outputs

AV Out: A .dpx file or enumerated sequence of files and an audio file in case the audio codec is activated.

Node specific properties

Transcoding->Codec: Choose the codec according to the transcoding needs such as color depth (8, 10 or 16 bits) and including alpha channel, or not.

Note: Being an uncompressed format, the encoding speed of this task node mainly depends on disk speed, so it is highly recommended to use it with fast storage units.
