Power of Proxy Data
– Highly Streamlined Workflows
At the same time as recording its high-resolution
video and audio data, the XDCAM HD products also
record a low-resolution version of this AV data on the
same disc. Called “Proxy Data”, this is much smaller
in size than the high-resolution data (1.5 Mb/s for video
and 0.5 Mb/s for audio), and its format is identical to
that of the SD version of the XDCAM products.
Because of its lower resolution, Proxy Data can be
transferred to a standard PC at an amazingly high
speed, and easily browsed and edited using the
PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software (or other compatible
editing software offered by many industry-leading
manufacturers). What’s more, with the PDZ-1 soft-
ware, it can be converted to the popular ASF format
for playback on Windows
®
Media Player, providing
dramatic improvements in production workflows.
Proxy Data can also be viewed directly on a PC with-
out data transfer using an i.LINK (File Access Mode)
connection, and can even be sent over a standard
Ethernet network.
The overall flexibility of Proxy Data means that it
can be used for a variety of applications, such as
immediate logging on location, off-line editing, daily
rushes of shooting on location, client approvals, and
more.
Editing Solutions
The XDCAM HD products are equipped with both
conventional AV and IT-based interfaces for flexible
integration into a wide array of editing environments.
These interfaces* include HD-SDI, HD analogueue
component video, analogueue/digital audio, and
RS-422A 9-pin remote control – enabling connection
to a wide variety of VTRs, linear and non-linear editors,
and audio mixers.
SD interfaces*, including SD-SDI and SD analogue
composite, are also provided for down-converted SD
outputs, allowing the XDCAM HD system to be inte-
grated into a conventional SD-based editing environ-
ment as well.
Another interface that all XDCAM devices provide is
an i.LINK interface that supports DV OUT and File
Access Mode. Recordings made in both MPEG HD
and DVCAM formats can be output as DV files via the
i.LINK port, and then be used in many DV-based non-
linear editing system. The i.LINK (File Access Mode)
allows not only SD (DVCAM) files but also HD (MPEG
HD) files to be written (recorded) onto and read from
Professional Disc media. This allows you to establish
an extremely compact and affordable HD non-linear
editing system, for example, using an XDCAM HD
camcorder and an i.LINK-compatible laptop PC.
*The supported interfaces vary by product.
Metadata
All XDCAM HD products are capable of recording
a variety of metadata, which provides a huge
advantage when searching for specific data after
the initial recording has been made. Information
such as production dates, creator names, and camera
setup parameters can be saved together with the
AV material on the same disc using the supplied
PDZ-1 software. This makes it possible to organise
and search through all recordings effectively. One
particular metadata, called EssenceMark™ (Shot
Mark), is a convenient reference that can be added
to desired frames to make them easy to recall in
subsequent editing processes.
Easy Maintenance and High Reliability
The XDCAM HD products use the same platform as
the XDCAM SD products that are in wide use
around the world. Having the advantage of no
mechanical contact between the equipment and
recording media, both a high level of durability and
long media life have been achieved. XDCAM HD
products also offer the same high resistance to
shock and vibrations provided by the SD version of
the XDCAM products.
PBZD-E1500 software
PBZD-E1500 software allows the PDW-F70 deck
to be used for traditional broadcast insert and
assemble editing. This can be very useful when
integrating XDCAM into a linear editing environment
or when selectively archiving tape based material to
professional disc.
