Data Calc Pro 2

Data Calc Pro is made up of five sections to make data calculations clear, simple and accurate. Data can be entered on any section with the results transferred to the other sections for complete workflow calculations.

Time
The time calculator's intuitive interface allows you to perform normally complicated time calculations at the touch of a button, and easily convert between units, for example from timecode to hours or minutes to frames.
Want to know how many minutes footage you would shoot with 2 cameras each shooting 20 minutes over 3 days? No problem. Then convert that to frames? Easy.

Shoot
With over 100 digital cameras to choose from and hundreds of formats, the Shoot tab allows you to accurately estimate the amount of data produced on any shoot. Choose a camera, codec, resolution, frame rate and run time to give the amount of data produced. Conversely, input the amount of data created to calculate the run time. The Stereo button allows dual camera calculations.

Camera Info
Gives you a large range of technical specifications for each camera, helping you choose the right camera for the job.

Film
Select a film gauge, frame rate and run time to calculate the footage used. Conversely, find the running time from the footage. Feet and meters are supported.

Post
Choose from over 70 current popular editing or finishing codecs to calculate the storage required for the post on your project. Switch between Shoot, Film and Post tabs to calculate the difference between your acquisition and transcoded material.

Transfer
The transfer tab allows you to calculate how long it will take to transfer a given amount of data over a wide range of peripherals or connections/bandwidths. Conversely, find out how much you will be able to transfer in a given time.

Updates
Data Calc Pro will be regularly updated with new cameras and codecs so you'll always be up to date with the latest technology. You can contact us at [email protected] with any queries.

The calculations of Data Calc Pro are solely intended for estimation purposes only. Video codecs that use a Variable Bit Rate (VBR) adjust data rate based on the source footage. Data Calc Pro VBR codecs have been calculated by their target bit rate. Actual data sizes may vary dependent on content.
Data Calc Pro calculates data sizes in base-10.
