Recording Format

and Editing Workflow
The Revolutionary
AVCHD Format
AVCHD is an efficient data compression method which greatly reduces
memory requirements. The new format allows tapeless recording with high
image quality in a small file size. This is made possible by the revolutionary
MPEG4 AVC/H.264 codec. In addition, the AVCHD file format is spreading
rapidly into the market. Many consumer electronic devices already support
AVCHD playback, and more are likely to come. Major NLE software
manufacturers already support AVCHD ingestion and editing.
Loss-less Audio Recording Capability
The audio recording format on HXR-NX5U can be selected from either
Dolby Digital stereo or Linear PCM stereo. LPCM audio recording provides
uncompressed audio quality. Customers who needs high quality audio, such
as in music videos will be able to acquire CD quality audio data.
MPEG-2 for SD (standard definition)
Recording Format
SD format recording is available in addition to HD format recording. The SD
recording format uses MPEG-2 which is the same compression codec as
standard DVD-VIDEO Discs. Customers who make delivery in DVD-VIDEOs will
be able to obtain video data in sufficient SD quality using this format.
