AVCIntra 100 Export with 24Bit Audio

[embelstudio]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to export a file for the german broadcaster ZDF. They require an HD 25fps file with container "MXF OP1a" and codec "AVCIntra (H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC High 422 Intra RP2027 Constrained Class 100)" as well as 24bit 48kHzPCM audio tracks.

I tried 
Format "MainConcept MXF"
Codec "Panasonic P2 AVC-Intra"
Type "AVC-Intra 100 (1920x1080)"

as well as
Format "MainConcept MXF"
Codec "Sony XAVC-Intra"
Type "XAVC HD Intra Class 100 CBG (1920x1080)"

without success. For both, i get an error upon rendering stating "Audio Bit Depth is not supported".
It only works with 16bit.

Is it possible to meet the required ZDF specs with the Mainconcept plugin? Do I miss anything?
(I successfully exported a broadcast-file for ZDF with the "Sony XAVC Long GOP 502 with 24bit audio in the past. But for this playout they demand the AVCIntra Codec)

Thanks,
Andi

That error usually means the MainConcept MXF template is limited to 16-bit PCM with those AVC-Intra profiles. I had the same issue. You might need to export 24-bit WAV separately and rewrap into MXF OP1a with another tool, because some MainConcept presets simply don’t support 24-bit audio in AVC-Intra.
