Video file formats and settings can be pretty complicated, and it’s all about trading off file sizes against quality. 8-bit video capture keeps file sizes smaller and is pretty much a universal common ...
What’s the cost of an underused hardware resource? If you spec your microcontroller to have a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) but only require 8 bits, you’ve paid for extra performance that ...
I’ve been doing some transcoding of videos from x264 to x265NVENC. So far some of the results have gotten really good compression ratios but I end up being disappointed by a lot of the banding that ...
The OnePlus 10 Pro’s camera has a 10-bit color mode, which the company says is great for amateur photographers wanting to take the best possible photo, and that it expects the mode to become more ...
