Preview of Pixel Format: 10-bit 4:2:0 — Actual file preview for Pixel Format: 10-bit 4:2:0

10-bit 4:2:0 HEVC. Ten bits per component gives 1024 levels instead of 256, which is what removes banding from smooth gradients. Now the norm for HDR and for high-quality SDR encodes. Shipped in Matroska rather than MP4 on purpose: an exotic pixel format in an .mp4 would be advertised as browser-playable and then fail to decode. Every clip in this group is the same picture, so the pixel format is the only variable.

Pixel Format: 10-bit 4:2:2

10-bit 4:2:2 HEVC. The professional acquisition and mezzanine format, enough chroma for keying and enough bit depth for grading. Shipped in Matroska rather than MP4 on purpose: an exotic pixel format in an .mp4 would be advertised as browser-playable and then fail to decode. Every clip in this group is the same picture, so the pixel format is the only variable.

Pixel Format: 10-bit 4:4:4

10-bit 4:4:4 HEVC. Full chroma at 10 bits. Effectively an intermediate format only; almost nothing decodes it in hardware. Shipped in Matroska rather than MP4 on purpose: an exotic pixel format in an .mp4 would be advertised as browser-playable and then fail to decode. Every clip in this group is the same picture, so the pixel format is the only variable.

Pixel Format: 12-bit 4:2:0

12-bit 4:2:0 HEVC. Twelve bits, at the top of what HEVC's Main 12 profile supports. Cinema and scientific capture; included as the limit case that finds decoders which silently truncate to 8 bits. Shipped in Matroska rather than MP4 on purpose: an exotic pixel format in an .mp4 would be advertised as browser-playable and then fail to decode. Every clip in this group is the same picture, so the pixel format is the only variable.

Pixel Format: 8-bit 4:2:0

8-bit 4:2:0 HEVC. The universal delivery format. Chroma is stored at quarter resolution, which is invisible on photographic content and very visible on saturated text and thin graphic edges. Shipped in Matroska rather than MP4 on purpose: an exotic pixel format in an .mp4 would be advertised as browser-playable and then fail to decode. Every clip in this group is the same picture, so the pixel format is the only variable.

Pixel Format: 8-bit 4:2:2

8-bit 4:2:2 HEVC. Chroma at half horizontal resolution: the broadcast and mezzanine standard. Survives one round of chroma keying and colour correction far better than 4:2:0. Shipped in Matroska rather than MP4 on purpose: an exotic pixel format in an .mp4 would be advertised as browser-playable and then fail to decode. Every clip in this group is the same picture, so the pixel format is the only variable.

Pixel Format: 8-bit 4:4:4

8-bit 4:4:4 HEVC. No chroma subsampling at all. Necessary for screen content and graphics, and the only format where coloured text stays clean, but unsupported by most hardware decoders. Shipped in Matroska rather than MP4 on purpose: an exotic pixel format in an .mp4 would be advertised as browser-playable and then fail to decode. Every clip in this group is the same picture, so the pixel format is the only variable.

PKCS#12 Bundle (.p12)

A PKCS#12 (.p12/PFX) bundle packaging the sample RSA key and certificate together, protected with the sample password 'novus-sample', for testing keystore importers and PKCS#12 parsers. (The PKCS#12 MAC salt is random, so this file is intentionally not byte-stable.)

Plain-Text Log: ANSI Colour Codes in the Stream (log)

A developer-mode log where the level and service are wrapped in ANSI colour codes, ending with one uncoloured line. Colour codes sit inside the field a parser wants to read, so level extraction fails unless the sequences are stripped first: the classic symptom of a container run without a TTY check.
