Use this cinematography or projection calculation to plan image geometry, exposure, timing, storage, film footage, or presentation from explicitly stated camera and display parameters.

Width Pixels (px)

Required integer input.

Height Pixels (px)

Required integer input.

Bits Per Pixel (bit/px)

Required number input.

Frames Per Second (fps)

Required number input.

Decimal megabytes per second for uncompressed constant-frame-rate raster video; excludes headers and audio. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Megabytes Per Second (MB/s)

The resulting megabytes per second returned as a number.

• Storage and bitrate estimates depend on codec, chroma sampling, bit depth, frame rate, audio, metadata, overhead, variable bitrate, compression settings, and DCP profile. Nominal rates do not predict image quality or exact package size.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Confirm critical values with the actual camera, lens, codec, projector, and delivery specification, then run a camera or projection test under representative conditions.

• Bitrate From File Size Runtime

  Average decimal megabits per second from a decimal megabyte file size and duration; includes any audio/container overhead already in the size.

• Data Rate Compressed

  Compressed decimal MB/s estimate from uncompressed data rate divided by an assumed compression ratio.

• Motion Blur Shutter Angle

  Shutter angle needed for a target moving-object blur length, from image speed in pixels per second and frame rate.
