About AVC-Intra

AVC-Intra is a form of H.264 compression that uses only intraframe compression (I-frame-only compression) as opposed to the interframe (long-GOP) compression used by formats such as HDV and AVCHD. For more information about interframe and intraframe compression, see “About MPEG Compression” on page 13.

AVC-Intra is recorded on Panasonic P2 cards at either 100 or 50 Mbps. The 100 Mbps format can record full-width HD video (1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720) with 4:2:2 color sampling. The 50 Mbps format records at 1440 x 1080 or 960 x 720 with 4:2:0 color sampling. Both formats record 10 bits per color sample.

AVC-Intra Formats Supported by Final Cut Pro

Final Cut Pro can ingest all AVC-Intra frame rates and image dimensions in both 50 and 100 Mbps formats. For details, see “AVC-Intra Format Specifications” on page 117. Although Final Cut Pro does not have native editing support for AVC-Intra footage, the Log and Transfer window automatically transcodes AVC-Intra footage to the

Apple ProRes 422 codec or the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec.

Important: You cannot export footage back to the AVC-Intra format from Final Cut Pro.

6 specifications

The Apple iPhone 6, released in September 2014, marked a significant evolution in Apple's smartphone lineup. This model introduced a larger screen and a sleeker design, setting the stage for future devices in the iPhone series.

One of the most notable features of the iPhone 6 was its display. With a 4.7-inch Retina HD screen, the iPhone 6 offered a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, delivering vibrant colors and sharp images. This screen size was a departure from previous models, appealing to users who favored larger displays for better viewing experiences, whether for gaming, watching videos, or browsing the web.

The design of the iPhone 6 was another highlight. It featured a slim, curved aluminum body that not only made it more aesthetically pleasing but also improved its ergonomics. Weighing just 129 grams, the phone was light yet robust. The placement of volume buttons, the power button, and the headphone jack was thoughtfully designed to enhance usability.

Under the hood, the iPhone 6 was powered by the A8 chip, a 64-bit dual-core processor that offered impressive performance and energy efficiency. Coupled with the M8 motion coprocessor, the device could effectively handle demanding apps and services while optimizing battery life, providing users with a smooth experience throughout the day.

The camera capabilities of the iPhone 6 were also advanced for its time. It featured an 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization and a f/2.2 aperture, allowing for clearer low-light photography. The front-facing camera was improved as well, offering a 1.2-megapixel resolution and support for 720p HD video, making it great for selfies and video calls.

Connectivity options included LTE support, enabling faster download speeds, and Wi-Fi calling, which allowed users to make calls over Wi-Fi networks, enhancing communication in areas with poor cellular coverage. The iPhone 6 also introduced the Apple Pay feature, allowing users to make secure transactions using their devices.

In terms of software, the iPhone 6 originally came with iOS 8, which boasted new features such as HealthKit and HomeKit, further integrating technology into daily life. Regular software updates ensured that users could enjoy the latest features and security enhancements well into the device's lifecycle.

Overall, the iPhone 6 distinguished itself with a combination of innovative design, powerful performance, and a user-friendly experience, solidifying Apple's position in the smartphone market and paving the way for future iterations in the iPhone lineup.
