Planning Video Bandwidth for AV over IP

Everyone knows that video consumes enormous amounts of bandwidth on an AV over IP network. It can be hard to visualize just how much data is required for formats like 4K and 8K – so we're using Skittles to help illustrate. Total Video Bandwidth Equation HP×VP×FR×BD×3×CDF×1.25 Where: HP = Horizontal Pixels VP = Vertical Pixels FR = Frame Rate BD = Bit Depth 3 = Number of Graphic Channels CDF = Chroma Decimation Factor 1.25 = Overhead Required for DVI or HDMI transport For more information, check out the AV over IP Foundations course at avixa.org.
