Inherits unique features of XDCAM series
The unit inherits the workflow features of the
XDCAM series, including thumbnail display and
metadata management, and improves them by
introducing an improved man-machine interface.
Metadata includes new user-settable clip flags
(OK/NG/KEEP) in addition to the existing Rec
Start essence marks. The new metadata types
enable more efficient workflows when clips
recorded on this unit are edited on nonlinear
editing systems.
Plays clips shot with existing equipment
Clips recorded at system frequencies of 1080/
29.97p, 1080/25p, 720/59.94p or 720/50p on
PDW-700 or other existing XDCAM devices can
be transferred to the unit (for example, by
inserting a disc containing the clips) and played
back, even though the unit does not shoot clips at
these frequencies.
