01 Codec & Video

SCREEN REFRESH 59.94Hz CONTENT FRAME RATE 29.97fps CODEC NotchLC
Video: encode video files with NotchLC in a QuickTime (.mov) container. NotchLC prioritizes real-time playback performance over file size, using minimal compression.

Notch.One provides a free Adobe CC plugin for encoding NotchLC directly from Adobe Media Encoder: Windows Download, Mac Download.
Still images: single-frame NotchLC, same QuickTime (.mov) container as video.
Verify / QC: standard players (QuickTime Player, VLC) do not support NotchLC playback. To verify NotchLC files, use one of these suggested players, or preview in the Adobe Suite: PotPlayer or MPC-HC (Windows), IINA (Mac).
