Supported file formats
PIX:XP provides fairly comprehensive support for most popular file formats used in
graphics production. It does not currently support images with alpha channels. That
feature is slated for a release in the near future. The following table lists of supported
file formats:
Supported Profile systems
At the moment, PIX:XP is supported on PVS1000 (the Profile XP Media Platform)
and PVS1100 Profile servers. Support for Media Area Network (MAN) Profile
systems and PVS2000 Profile systems is planned for future releases. Legacy
(PDR100, PDR200, PDR300, and PDR400) Profile systems will not be supported.
At present, only MPEG2 compression is supported. Profile movies consist of I-frame
only, either 15Mb/s or 50Mb/s video. Support for other MPEG 2 bitrates and
DVCPRO is planned for a future release.
