[FREE Tool] The most accurate Storage & Bitrate Calculator for Z9, S1H, and Sony RAW Workflows

[jmochon]

Hi everyone,

I’ve spent the last few weeks building a data management tool because I found that most existing calculators were either outdated or didn't handle modern hybrid RAW workflows correctly. I’m sharing the BETA v0.3 of the Workflow Data Calculator with the community for free.

Why this is useful for EOSHD shooters:

• N-RAW & ProRes RAW: The engine handles the specific bitrates for the Nikon Z9/Z8 and external RAW recording with surgical precision.
• 10-bit & 12-bit accuracy: Unlike generic tools, it accounts for the real bit-depth and chroma subsampling of your specific codec.
• 32-bit Float Audio Support: It’s one of the few tools that calculates the real impact of high-end field recorders on your total storage.
• Instant Technical Reports: You can generate a PDF with a Dynamic QR Code. It’s great for planning how many SSDs or CFexpress cards you actually need for a shoot.
• Hardware Validation: It warns you if your current drive speed is a bottleneck for 8K or 4K high-frame-rate playback.

The tool is based on official manufacturer whitepapers and uses Base 1000 for units to match your actual disk capacity (no more 'where did my 200GB go?' surprises).

I’d love to get your feedback, especially if you are shooting with the latest firmware updates on Nikon, Sony, or Panasonic. Let me know if you’d like to see any specific camera added to the database!
