The AJA DataCalc computes storage requirements for professional video and audio media.

Designed for video professionals, this application works with all the most popular industry video formats and compression methods, including AJA Raw, Apple ProRes, DVCProHD, HDV, XDCAM, DV, CineForm, REDCODE, Avid DNxHD, Apple Intermediate, 16 bit RGB and RGBA, uncompressed, and more.

AJA DataCalc allows you to change settings and calculate storage requirements in a single screen with simple controls and a clear concise display. Media durations can be entered in units of days, hours, seconds, or even as precise as frames using time code mode. Clicking on results will rotate you through alternative values whether GB or TB for storage calculations or time results in a variety of formats when in TimeCalc mode. Summary information obtained by DataCalc can even be optionally emailed and a Presets feature allows you to save common calculations for speedy reference.

Ratings and reviews

Wouldn't start even once. Also why it requires access to read, modify and delete contents of SD card? And full network access? WHAT is this app???

OK, but excludes ProRes RAW, BRAW and HEVC. Also misses various resolutions - notably no 6K at all. Needs updating!

Clean interface, quick and easy way to calculate file size, and has a lot of codecs.
