Hi Everyone,

The MPC Data Lab data rate calculator iPhone app is now available to download (free) from the iTunes store.

<LINK>

It enables you to work out disk space needed for given running times of most digital cameras out there & how much this will take on disk once transcoded. There's also a film footage calculator for those who enjoy a bit of retro.

Hope you find it useful

Cheers

Chris
 
This is very useful... its great to get data rates for numerous cameras rather than just the RED or post formats like ProRes, etc..

Its good and very useful app, thanks for taking the time to create this.

If theres any chance of Prores and uncompressed in the post formats that would be a great addition.
 
The AJA DataCalc app gives you ProRes and some other formats.
 
Here's the review I submitted to Itunes:

I love this app. . . the only thing I wish it did was give you file sizes for ALL the flavors of ProRes, as well as the different REDCODE datarates . . . but other than that, everything is here.


Here's a breakdown of the features:
Camera Types:
RED 4k/2k/3k
Phantom 1920x1080/2028x1152/2048x1536/2048x2048
ARRI D-21 RAW Mode
Silicon Imaging 2k
EX-1
Canon 5D/7D
P2 AVC-Intra 100/AVC Intra 50

With these Datarates, the app will give you # of Frames and Storage based on Run-Time (which you can input) and Framerate (23.98/24/25/29.97).

It'll ALSO give you length/# of Frames of the footage shot if you're shooting film. The options there are 35mm 4/3/2 perf, 16mm, and Super 8mm.

There's even a storage calculator, based on Filetype (DPX 10-bit/Tiff 16bit/Tiff 8bit), Frame size (4k/2k/HD/SD/PAL in EVERY Conceivable size)), and Frame Rate.

AGAIN, the only thing that I think it's lacking is the different flavors of Pro-Res in the storage calculator, but other than that, it's AWESOME. It's currently free, go grab it.
 
Nice one MPC, this does look promising. AVC-I info is very handy and no one else seems to have it yet.
Only constructive criticism is that there's no way to specify frame size, ie AVC-I 1080 or 720, or to specify data rate, ie XDCAM HD 50 Mb/s or 35 Mb/s.
Without those parameters the storage calculations are kind of arbitrary.

Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas!
 
Chris, any chance of an Android version some day?
 
you forgot 59.94 as a frame rate. Better yet, just make it variable
