Optical Disc-based HD Solution for a Wide Spectrum of Video Professionals
Since its debut in 2004, Sony’s XDCAM™ Professional Disc system – an optical disc-based video production system – has been widely adopted for use by a large number of broadcast stations, production companies, sports teams, corporations, houses of worship and government and educational facilities around the world. Users have been enjoying the tremendous benefits of its disc-based operations, such as instant random access and network capability to name just two. At the same time, video productions have been moving rapidly toward HD acquisition and programming, and accordingly they are looking for a wider choice of tools that can meet many different requirements for picture quality and ease of operation while still meeting their budget.
To address this growing demand, Sony introduces the XDCAM HD lineup – an HD version of the successful XDCAM products – to further enhance its HD lineup that currently consists of the HDCAM-SR™ and HDCAM™ products for high-end video production including broadcast and movie-making, and the affordable HDV™ products for entry-level HD production.
A distinct advantage of the XDCAM HD lineup is that the camcorder offers HD/SD dual-format recording capability with support for the new “XDCAM HD” format and the well-proven DVCAM™ format, providing users with an SD to HD migration path. Up- and down-conversion capabilities are also incorporated into each product*, further increasing operational flexibility.
With its outstanding HD picture quality, high level of versatility, and significant workflow efficiencies achieved by the disc-based recording, the XDCAM HD lineup will be an ideal choice for all video professionals looking for an HD solution to meet today’s and tomorrow’s requirements.
HD 1080 Recording at Selectable Bit Rates
The XDCAM HD products record video signals in 1080/59.94i, 50i, 29.97P, 25P, and native 23.98P using the “MPEG HD” codec that adopts the industry standard MPEG-2 MP@HL compression. Users can select desired bit rates either from 35, 25, or 18 Mb/s depending on their requirements for picture quality and recording length. Choosing the highest bit rate of 35 Mb/s results in the highest-quality pictures over a long recording time of over 60 minutes, while choosing the 18 Mb/s bit rate provides a recording time of over 120 minutes, which is the longest recording time offered by any current HD camcorder.
