1 Extrapolation of TMPGEnc Xpress* 4.4 converting a 1 minute 16 seconds 1440x1080 HD video file to HDV format. See footnote 7 for more details.
2 Extrapolation of Adobe Premiere Pro* CS3 applying a cross-dissolve and 3-way color correction to a 60-second HDV video clip. See footnote 8 for more details.
3 Extrapolation of DivX* 6.7 compressing a 1 minute 50 seconds standard definition MPEG2 video file to DivX MPEG4 format. See footnote 9 for more details.
4 Extrapolation of Apple iTunes* 7.1.1 converting 4-minute songs from WMA to MP3 format. See footnote 10 for more details.
5 Extrapolation of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom* 1.1 resizing and creating 125 ten-megapixel and 75 six-megapixel photos at 480x360 resolution. See footnote 11 for more details.
6 Extrapolation of Adobe Photoshop Elements* 5.02 preparing 24 ten-megapixel photos in WMV format. See footnote 12 for more details.
7 TMPGEnc* is a digital media application used for converting one video format to another. For this test TMPGEnc Xpress* 4.4 is used to convert a 1 minute 16 seconds high definition video file at 1440x1080 to HDV MPEG2 format at the same resolution. This reduces the file size by approximately 4 times (1.2G to 254MB).
8 Adobe* Premiere Pro* CS3 is a video editing tool for professionals with features like color correction and specials effects creation. This test applies a cross-dissolve on two 30-second 1080p HDV clips and a "Three-Way Color Corrector" effect on the first 30 seconds, independently adjusting the scene's shadows, highlights, and midtones. Additionally the 25fps input clips are converted to 29.7fps in HDV format.
9 DivX* technology compresses video to a fraction of its original size for efficient storage on your hard drive and easy sharing online. This test case uses DivX 6.7 to compress a standard definition 66.2MB, MPEG2, 720x480 video file to a 10MB MPEG4 DivX video file at 720x480 resolution for uploading to YouTube*. iTunes is a digital media application that can be used to manage digital music such as converting from one digital audio format to another. In this case, Apple iTunes* 7.1.1 is used to convert 61 minutes 24 seconds of music (635MB) from WMA to MP3 format with a bit rate of 160Kbps for listening on your iPod*.
10 Apple* iTunes* is a digital media application that can be used to manage digital music such as converting from one digital audio format to another. In this case, Apple iTunes 7.1.1 is used to convert 61 minutes 24 seconds of music (635MB) from WMA to MP3 format with a bit rate of 160Kbps for listening on your iPod*.
11 Adobe* Photoshop* Lightroom* is a photography application that lets you manage, adjust, and present a large amount of photographs. For this scenario Lightroom 1.1 is used to resize 125 ten-megapixel and 75 six-megapixel JPEG photos at 480x360 resolution for posting to Facebook* or viewing on portable devices such as an iPhone*. The photos are also used to create a personal HTML web gallery that can be published online.
12 Adobe* Photoshop* Elements* enables users to organize, edit and enhance photos. For this test Elements 5.02 used to create a WMV slideshow out of 24 digital photographs (10Mpel, approximately 5.3MB each). The resulting slideshow video is 2 minutes long and is 14.6MB; it has a bit rate of 1530Kbps, a frame rate of 30fps, and is at 800x600 resolution.
13 Microsoft* Office Excel* 2007 is a spreadsheet application that features calculation and graphing tools. This enables business users to analyze and share information in order to make more informed decisions. In this scenario Excel 2007 performs a Monte Carlo simulation using the Black-Scholes* model to calculate a theoretical call and put price using the five key determinants of an option's price: stock price, strike price, volatility, time to expiration, and short-term (risk free) interest rate. This simulation performs 300,000 iterations.
14 Microsoft* Office Word* 2007 is a powerful word processing program that gives you the ability to create and share documents. Microsoft Office Powerpoint* 2007 enables users to quickly create high-impact, dynamic presentations. In this scenario Word 2007 is used to compare an original manuscript to a revised version and then generates a third document containing only the differences. The original manuscript was 1085 pages containing 463,000 words. The revised version is now 1227 pages with 464,530 words.
