Chapter 2 T2 XDCAM Option
What is XDCAM?
XDCAM is a professional broadcast disc video system developed by Sony
Corporation. This system uses a professional disc as its recordable medium and this
single medium provides operations from collecting materials to editing, exporting,
and archiving.
XDCAM uses the MXF file format for video recording. Compression formats include
the following four types: MPEG HD422, MPEG HD, MPEG IMX, and DVCAM. T2
XDCAM Option supports all four of these formats.
Recording video in the file format allows for high speed access that is impossible for
tape media. Each file is saved as a single clip with operations to start and stop a
recording. Each file is also linked to thumbnail data. T2 allows you to access a
professional disc from the Browse tab to list the saved clips as thumbnails and
manipulate them in the same way as clips in a bin.
XDCAM content records additional information such as date, time, or comments and
proxy AV data as metadata in addition to high resolution video and audio data. T2 can
play and edit high resolution data without using any proxy data.
What is XDCAM EX?
XDCAM EX is a professional broadcast video system developed by Sony
Corporation. This system uses SxS memory cards that are compatible with
ExpressCard as its recordable media. XDCAM EX uses the MPEG file format for
video recording. MPEG HD is incorporated as the compression format. T2 allows you
to access an SxS memory card from the Browse tab to import a saved clip converting
it to GrassValley HQ AVI.
