Content Creation with FFMPEG (Large Displays)
If the display size exceeds a width of 3840, or if it exceeds a height of 1080, save content les as uncompressed
AVI les or MOV les with the Animation codec (RLE encoding) or in another lossless format. Route the edited
video content through the Daktronics FFMPEG Converter version 3.3 (or newer) to convert the le to a nal
HAP-encoded format.
The le compression of 4:1 means that the les may be large depending on the content. This requires more
drive bandwidth and may require a RAID drive; however, this does not require any CPU load for decoding.
Note: Some patterns can make the codec output an incorrect image but this is unusual.
Display Type Recommended Output File Type
Large display - no alpha MOV using the HAP codec
Large display - alpha MOV using the HAP codec with alpha
