AJA Data Rate Calculator

The AJA Data Rate Calculator is a useful application for determining how much storage space on a harddrive or disk array will be required for a given format and frame rate. In the pictured example, the calculator is used to determine how much storage space would be required for one hour of 720p 59.94 in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ). This application may be used on any machine, not just machines that have AJA hardware installed; keeping a copy on a laptop can be a useful tool for doing quick computations to see if storage capacity meets format and frame rate demands.
