Is SheerVideo useful for high-definition video?
Yes, SheerVideo is optimal for High-Definition video. Because of its power, SheerVideo halves the enormous HD video file sizes, and halves the huge bandwidth required to transmit HD. And, because of its power and speed, SheerVideo also halves the storage, transmission, and retrieval times required for HD, even when encoding and decoding on the fly. As a result, SheerVideo makes it possible to use cheaper storage and transmission solutions. For example, SheerVideo makes it possible to transmit the highest-definition HD, 1920 x 1080 pixels at 30 frames per second, over a single FireWire 800 link in real time. Or to stream real-time HD to or from ordinary hard disks software-RAIDed on a FireWire 800 bus. And SheerVideo does this with perfect fidelity. Moreover, SheerVideo supports the Y’PbPr and Y’CbCr 8b 4:2:2 and 4:4:4[:4] pixel formats used for HD.
