Note: All of the guidelines specified in the four tables above assume that all TGA sequences will be
ingested as VAF (Vertigo Animation Format). Converting the TGA sequences to VAF on ingest ensures
optimal playback performance. Also note that backwards compatibility with legacy .OXI format is
maintained.
