Recording and playback functions
Support for multiple SD/HD codecs
In addition to the MPEG HD422 codec, this unit supports
1)
the MPEG HD codec.
component files at both 1080i (35/25/18 Mbps
2)
720P (35/25 Mbps ), allowing HD operation across a
wide range of recording times and application objectives.
It can also record SD files (at IMX50/40/30 Mbps
DVCAM codec).
1) MPEG HD is a registered trademark of Sony Corporation.
2) SDI recording only supported for 35 Mbps, and playback only supported
for 25 Mbps and 18 Mbps.
3) SDI recording only supported for 30/50 Mbps.
Support for multiple frame frequencies
This unit can record and play at multiple frame
frequencies: 1080/59.94i, 50i, 29.97P, 25P, and 23.98P or
720/59.94P and 50P (for MPEG HD422).
Support for mixed format recording mode
You can record clips in different formats to the hard disk
drives, regardless of the system frequency and recording
format (MPEG2 HD422/HD420) of the clips.
As long as the frame frequency group is the same, clips in
different recording formats can be recorded or written to
the same SxS memory card.
1) The recording format is regarded as different whenever the system
frequency, video resolution, video codec/bit rate, or number of audio
channels or number of bits does not match.
The system frequencies supported by this unit are divided
into frame frequency groups, as shown in the following
table.
Frame frequency group System frequency
59.94 Hz
50 Hz
23.98 Hz
Note
Continuous playback may not be possible at the transition
point between two clips with different recording formats.

Simultaneous recording to internal storage and
an SxS memory card
The unit supports simultaneous recording to internal
storage and SxS memory cards (see page 50).
Linear editing function
The unit can function as a recorder to support insert editing
and assembly editing of recorded clips.
1) Installation of the optional XDBK-105 is required.
SD upconvert function
The unit is provided with an upconvert function.
You can input SD signals to the HD/SD-SDI INPUT
connector and record them as HD signals.
or by
HD downconvert function
The unit is provided with a downconvert function. HD clip
playback signals can be downconverted to SD signals and
then output as SD-SDI or composite signals. This allows
you to use this unit for editing and program output in an SD
environment.
1080/720 cross-conversion
This unit supports cross-conversion output. It can output
720 while playing media recorded as 1080, and output
1080 while playing media recorded as 720.
Recording of proxy AV data
Proxy AV data is a low-resolution (1.5 Mbps video, 64
kbps per audio channel), MPEG-4 based version of a full
resolution data stream. Whenever this unit records video
signals input to the HD/SD-SDI INPUT connector,
transfers files to internal storage via a network, copies files
from internal storage to an SxS memory card, etc. it
simultaneously generates and records low-resolution
proxy AV data (see page 99).
High-speed searches with the shuttle/jog dial
The shuttle/jog dial can be used to find scenes inside clips
on the internal storage (hard disk drives), in the same way
as the shuttle and jog dials on conventional VTRs.
In variable-speed mode, you can search in field units at
from –2 to +2 times normal speed. Shuttle mode supports
high-speed searches up to a maximum of ±20 times normal
speed.
Convenient playback and searching
Like previous products in the XDCAM series, this unit
supports convenient search functions, including thumbnail
searches.
Networking
File transfer functions
This unit is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet connector,
allowing you to perform high-speed file transfers of the
video, audio, and metadata on internal storage using FTP
and other standard protocols.
