Storage and Data Rates For Uncompressed Video

The document discusses storage and data rates for uncompressed video in different formats. It provides the data rate calculations based on color depth, resolution, and frame rate. Examples are given for NTSC, PAL, 720p HD, and 1080i/1080p HD video. Data rates range from 20 MB/sec for 8-bit NTSC to 237 MB/sec for 10-bit 1080p 60Hz. HDMI 1.3a specifications support various standard and high definition progressive and interlaced video formats from 480i to 1080p at 24-120Hz, using YCbCr or RGB color with up to 48-bit depth.

Storage and Data Rates for Uncompressed Video

Constant bitrate formula: Uncompressed data rate = color depths * vertical resolution *
horizontal resolution * refresh frequency
Examples
24bit @ 1080i @ 30fps :24*1920*1080*30=1.49 Gbps.
24bit @ 1080p @ 60fps :24*1920*1080*60=2.98 Gbps.
The storage and data rates for the widely-used YCbCr 4:2:2 chroma subsampling uncompressed
video are listed below:
525 NTSC uncompressed
8 bit @ 720 x 486 @ 29.97fps = 20 MB per/sec, or 70 GB per/hr.
10 bit @ 720 x 486 @ 29.97fps = 27 MB per/sec, or 94 GB per/hr.
625 PAL uncompressed
8 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 20 MB per/sec, or 70 GB per/hr.
10 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 26 MB per/sec, or 93 GB per/hr.
720p HDTV uncompressed
8 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94fps = 105 MB per/sec, or 370 GB per/hr.
10 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94fps = 140 MB per/sec, or 494 GB per/hr.
1080i and 1080p HDTV uncompressed
8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 95 MB per/sec, or 334 GB per/hr.
10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 127 MB per/sec, or 445 GB per/hr.
8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 99 MB per/sec, or 348 GB per/hr.
10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 132 MB per/sec, or 463 GB per/hr.
8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97fps = 119 MB per/sec, or 417 GB per/hr.
10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97fps = 158 MB per/sec, or 556 GB per/hr.
1080i and 1080p HDTV RGB (4:4:4) uncompressed
10 bit @ 1280 x 720p @ 60fps = 211 MB per/sec, or 742 GB per/hr.
10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 190 MB per/sec, or 667 GB per/hr.
10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 50i = 198 MB per/sec, or 695 GB per/hr.
10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 60i = 237 MB per/sec, or 834 GB per/hr.

HDMI 1.3a Specifications


According to HDMI 1.3a Spec.
Detailed timing is found in CEA-861-D or a later version of CEA-861 for the following video
format timings.
Cameras mostly use the progressive segmented frame format: for example a 25p/30p progressive
scan is transported in a 50i/60i interlaced format respectively, but with identically information:
No deinterlacing should be used.

Pixel Encodings and Color Depth
There are three different pixel encodings that may be sent across an HDMI cable: YCbCr 4:4:4
(chroma subsampling), YCbCr 4:2:2 and RGB 4:4:4.
There are four color depths supported: 24-, 30-, 36- and 48-bits per pixel.
