Reliable And Non-Reliable Media Or Constructs
The TARGA 3000 card streams a wide range of media and constructs in real time without
dropping frames. Such media and timeline constructs are considered real-time reliable.
There are some types of media and constructs though that will cause the TARGA to drop
frames. These exceptions are considered to be non-reliable media or timeline constructs.
The basic definition of a reliable timeline is one that can contain two video AVI files, six
or more audio WAV files, and six graphic files. When TARGA 3000 encounters an
unreliable timeline, use your video-editing application’s (e.g., Adobe Premiere) “smart
rendering” to make that segment of the timeline real-time reliable.
Reliable Real-Time Media
The following is a list of reliable real-time media for TARGA 3000:
• Video -- Video clips in TARGA 3000 AVI file format (including “smart rendered” blue
