- FOURCC: TSC2
- Company: TechSmith
This codec was developed by TechSmith and used in their screen capturing products.
Frame format
This codec operates on 16x8 macroblocks.
0 - frame type (1- coded, 0 - skip frame) 1 - luma quantiser? 2 - chroma quantiser? 3 - ??? [macroblock properties] [macroblock slices]
Macroblock properties:
4 bytes LE - chunk size rest - RLE-coded properties in bytes in form (val << 6) | (count)
Macroblock slices begin with slice size. If the first byte is odd, then it's the full size. Otherwise read whole 32-bit word and divide it by two in order to obtain real macroblock data size.
Macroblocks encode series of 4x4 DCT blocks (4x2), one component after another.
Block format:
DC - 8 bits for the first block, or VLC (for the difference from the previous DC) number of AC coefficients - VLC [AC coefficients] - VLC, bottom 4 bits - skip value, top 8 bits - AC value
Scan order is zigzag:
0 2 3 9 1 4 8 10 5 7 11 14 6 12 13 15
