Sony XDCAM Users Guide
Sony’s XDCAM™ decks and camcorders use an optical disc with a capacity of up to 23.3 GB to store recorded media. The XDCAM devices can record media in high-resolutionMPEG IMX™, DVCAM™, and XDCAM HD formats. At the same time, XDCAM devices create corresponding low-resolution proxy media (MPEG-4). This allows you to work with the proxy media in an off-line editing session and then later conform the proxy media to the corresponding high-resolution media.
Working with XDCAM media entails the following general steps:
1. Connecting the XDCAM device to your system and configuring your settings.
2. Importing the proxy media.
3. Editing the proxy media.
4. Using the Import function or the Batch Import function to import DVCAM or MPEG IMX media, and then conforming the proxy media with the high-resolution media.
5. Editing and finishing the sequence
