Media Compatibility

File types and encoding implementations can vary between cameras, systems, and software. We strongly recommend testing your specific media files with Tin Man during the free trial period before purchasing.

Format & Hardware Requirements

  • DNxHD / DNxHR / Uncompressed decoding requires a Tin Man Pro License, or can be natively decoded on macOS with Apple Pro Video Formats 2.2.4 or later installed.

  • Sony HDCAM-SR playback requires an Intel-based CPU.

  • AAC and AC3 audio decoding is dependent on operating system support.
