Proxy data is made up of low-resolution video
data (MPEG-4) and audio data (A-Low) (video:
1.5 Mbps; audio: 64 Kbps per channel). This
lightweight proxy data can be used in the same
way as the original data, but it can be transferred
more quickly, for more efficient viewing and
editing.
In UDF mode, proxy data is generated and
recorded automatically when you record video
and audio with a USB flash drive connected to the
external device connector. By loading the proxy
data from the USB flash drive into a computer,
you can quickly check the recorded content or
perform rapid offline editing.
Note
Do not power this unit off or do not remove the USB
flash drive while the USB flash drive is being accessed.
Doing so may cause the loss of all data recorded on the
USB flash drive.
You can record proxy data to a USB flash drive
while recording clips to an SxS memory card.

At the same time that the original data is
recorded to an SxS memory card, proxy data
is saved to the automatically generated
\MSSONY\PRO\XDCAM\MEMDISC\
<Proav-ID> folder (Proav-ID is an ID
specified in the DISCMETA.XML file on the
SxS memory card).
