Multi-Camera Storage Calculator

Plan total camera media for multi-camera shoots, including backup copies.

Copies are counted explicitly. Two copies means the original media exists in two storage locations.

How to use this calculator

What to enter

Enter or select the following as requested: Bitrate per camera (Mbps); Recorded hours per camera; Cameras; Total copies to keep. Follow the units, valid ranges, examples, and options displayed beside each field.

What the result means

The production result estimates runtime, footage duration, transfer or render time, media capacity, or camera data rate from the frame rate, resolution, bitrate, storage, or timing values entered. Check frame-rate units, codec/bitrate, audio tracks, variable-frame-rate footage, and whether overhead or safety margin is included.

When to use it

Use this to plan shoots, estimate storage, or schedule transfers and exports. Real performance depends on the camera, codec, storage media, computer, network, and export settings; allow extra capacity and time for production work.
