Rendering Bit Depth Limitations
Each producer and consumer has its own bit depth limitation. If you try to play/render content with a higher bit depth (for example 10-bit DPX, 16-bit TIFF or 32-bit EXR) you will not get predictable or even working results.
Producer Bit Depths
- The Flash Producer is currently limited to 8 bits per RGB channel plus an 8 bit alpha/key, since this is a limitation in Adobe’s FlashPlayer.
- The FFmpeg Producer is limited to 8 bits per RGB channel plus an 8 bit alpha/key, since this is a current limitation of the FFmpeg library.
- The Producers#TGA_Producer is limited to 8 bits per RGB channel plus an 8 bit alpha/key.
- The Color Producer is limited to 8 bits per RGB channel.
Consumer Bit Depths
- The Bluefish Consumer currently supports 8 bits per channel rendering for RGB/fill, plus an 8 bit alpha/key, even though the Bluefish cards support 10 bit output.
- The GDI Consumer supports 8 bits per channel rendering for RGB/fill, but no key/alpha channel, since this is a limitation of GDI.
- The Fullscreen Consumer currently supports 8 bits per channel rendering for RGB/fill and an 8 bit key/alpha channel. Please check; does it deliver a key???
