Avid Technology, Inc. announced that this season's final two episodes of "Bones," a crime investigation drama produced by FOX, were mastered in Avid DNxHD, Avid's high-definition (HD) codec. The episodes, which aired May 10 and May 17, were the first primetime television shows delivered to FOX in the Avid DNxHD mastering format. As the only encoding format to maintain the eight- and 10-bit full raster of HD images, Avid DNxHD delivers the pristine quality of 10-bit uncompressed HD media – but at the bandwidth of standard-definition (SD) files.
Since Avid introduced Avid DNxHD in 2004, the format has been used in a range of film and television productions including King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia, the XX Olympic Winter Games in Torino, American Idol and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
