This section explains AVCHD and HDV, the standard recording formats commonly used, and how to handle the
high-definition video with EDIUS.
AVCHD
AVCHD is an HD video camera standard for recording high-definition videos, designed by Sony Corporation and
Panasonic Corporation. Employing the AVC/H.264 standard to video, high-definition video can be recorded to flash
memories or hard disks that are built in cameras, or removable media. As for the audio, it supports the Dolby Digital
format (1 - 5.1ch) and Linear PCM format (1 - 7.1ch).
By accessing removable media or cameras from the source browser, AVCHD standard video can be handled with
EDIUS, without regard to files.

Files (such as *.m2ts) can be imported as they are and edited, if necessary.
HDV
HDV is a standard format for recording high-definition videos, designed by 4 of camera manufacturers in Japan.
Despite its data rate same as the DV standard (25 Mbps, approximately 13 GB per hour), it offers high-definition video
recordings by incorporating the MPEG-2 technology as its video compression method. With the MPEG-2 technology
that is incorporated by the HDV standard, you cannot divide data by 1 frame unit. Therefore, more memory and CPU
power is necessary for frame unit editing.
