10 and 12-bit encoding
===================
## Supported Encoders
The follow encoders support higher than 8-bit.
| Encoder |
|---------------------|
| x264 |
| x265 |
| Intel QuickSync |
| Apple Video Toolbox |
Please note, you must select a "10-bit" or "12-bit" encoder from the "Video Encoder" dropdown on the "Video" tab to enable this feature.
For hardware encoders, the option will only be shown if the system supports it.
### Limitations
Some filters that ship with HandBrake, do not currently support higher than 8-bit.
When these filters are enabled, HandBrake's pipeline will run at 8-bit rather than 10-bit or 12-bit.
This applies to the following filters:
- NLMeans
- Detelecine
