Calibrated Software AVC-Intra Decode v2 - Manual (Page 6)

Known Issues and Limitations
The following known issues and limitations are associated with Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode codec:

Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode for Windows will crash if run on a computer system that does not support SSE3
instructions which were introduced in Pentium 4 processors circa 2004 (see the Windows Requirements section).

Even though Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode supports decoding to 10-bit YUV422 and 16-bit RGB(A) 444(4),
thus preserving the full bit depth of AVC-Intra, it is up to the application using Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode to
request those colorspaces. Please see the FourCC Output Watermark in the Global Options Chapter to see
which colorspace on application is requesting, and also see the Enable High-Precision YUV, and Enable 16-bit
RGB(A) in the Global Options Chapter to learn more about 10-bit support.

For reasons unknown, playback performance in Vegas on Windows will not be in realtime.

BETA Support ONLY for decoding ANY type of Sony XAVC Intra video; AND for decoding Panasonic AVC-
Intra 200Mb or higher bitrates/resolutions. Please note that playback performance may not be in realtime.

Playback of files is dependent on both the speed of your CPU and harddrive, as well as the application that you
are using the movie files in. Please note that Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode can be used in a wide-variety of
applications; however some applications do not use the QuickTime SDK in an optimized way (i.e. the Software
Developer's Kit that applications use to integrate QuickTime) which would cause a notable decrease in playback
performance in those applications. Before purchasing a Software License, please test the software in DEMO
MODE using your own computers and applications to ensure performance is suitable for your particular workflow
needs. Using Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode in DEMO MODE is fully functional (including performance speed)
except for the watermark over the video.
Please see the ‘Performance’ section for more details.

CATDV: If you experience any problems in creating proxies and/or playback in CatDV, please enable Protected
Mode in CatDV. To enable 'Protected Mode', go to the CatDV Preferences and select 'Media Playback' and then
check the option 'Protected player: Use separate QuickTime helper process'. Playback performance is a little less
smooth i
n ‘Protected Mode’ but it will be more stable. Also, in newer version of CatDV you may wish to also
disable ‘scrub audio when dragging play head’ in the ‘Media Playback’ CatDV Preferences to make scrubbing in
CatDV faster.

10.9 (Mavericks) and 10.10 (Yosemite)- QuickTime Player X and Finder Preview in Mavericks do not work with
our software. The workaround for QT Player X is to install QuickTime Player 7 and use that for playback. You can
download QuickTime Player 7 from Apple here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923 and it will install into the
/Applications/Utilities folder and can co-exist fine with QT Player X on the same computer.

Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8). QuickTime Player X may show the DEMO MODE watermarks over the video if you
are licensed due to the license file being ‘sandboxed’ by OSX 10.8. This issue is being investigated – the
workaround is to install QuickTime Player 7 and use that for playback.
You can download QuickTime Player 7
from Apple here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923 and it will install into the /Applications/Utilities folder and can
co-exist fine with QT Player X on the same computer.
