Video Specs
Here are the recommended specifications for uploading 720p and 1080p video into CORE for ingest . Video not matching these specs may take longer to be playable, or may have difficulty processing.
Processing times for files not in optimal spec will be processed at a rate of approximately 3-4x real time.

Description
Video Resolution - Optimized Video Resolution settings for CORE for 720P or 1080P
Data Rate - Optimized Data Rate. If the Data Rate is higher than the spec mentioned will result in longer delays for the video to be playable on CORE.
Frame Rate - Frames Rates will be the same as source. It is preferred to be 24 frames per second.
Encoding Profile - High Profile setting
Pixel Aspect Ratio - (often abbreviated PAR) is a mathematical ratio that describes how the width of a pixel in a digital image compares to the height of that pixel. CORE requires the square pixels type.
Color Space ITU - Color spaces are mathematical models describing the way colours can be represented. CORE specs recommend Rec. 709 or sRGB LUT.
Compression Type - CORE uses the H.264 compression type. H.264 is the well-known video compression standard for high-definition digital video (Also known as MPEG-4 Part 10 or Advanced Video Coding (MPEG-4 AVC).
Container Format (Wrapper) - CORE’s recommended container format is .MOV (quicktime).A container format is a type of file format that contains various types of data compressed by standardized codecs.
Encoding Audio Format - CORE’s recommended Encoding Audio Format is AAC. An encoding Audio format is a content representation format for storage or transmission of digital audio.
Audio Bit Rate - CORE’s recommended Audio Bit Rate is 192 kbit/s or below.
Audio Channels - CORE’s recommends up to 8 channels.
