Equipment on Production Van #1

RTP rolls with the latest in HD production gear.

If we don’t have what your production requires we can usually get it from one of our partners within 24 hours.

At RTP, we pride ourselves on the quality of our video production. Even though most video we shoot goes to web or DVD, the fact that we start off with very high quality footage, our finished videos end up sharp, crisp, and full of color. A couple of items to think about when choosing a video production company.
• All HD is not created equal. Our cameras shoot 4k and full 1080p. To understand the difference, visit this page on Wikipedia. In short, SD (Standard Definition) is 720×480 and has 345,600 pixels, HD 720p has 921,600 pixels, and HD 1080p has 2,073,600 pixels. This means that HD 1080p has 6 times more pixels (and information) than SD, and results in 6 times the quality.

• 4:2:2 chroma subsampling is important. To understand why, visit this page on Wikipedia. Without getting real technical, chroma subsampling is how much color information is encoded in the video. 4:2:2 carries twice as much color information as 4:1:1 and 4:2:0 (which is what the new h.264 codec uses). RTP ALWAYS OFFERS THIS OPTION.
