HDCAM SR Formats and Resolutions
The following table lists the formats and resolutions available when you work with HDCAM SR
media:
Working with XDCAM HD Media
Your Avid editing application supports linking of both low-resolution (proxy) and
high-resolution XDCAM HD media.
XDCAM HD media is recorded in one of the following resolutions:
XDCAM HD LP (long play) (17.5 mb/sec)
XDCAM HD SP (standard play) (25 mb/sec)
XDCAM HD HQ (high quality) (35 mb/sec)
XDCAM HD HQ (high quality) (50 mb/sec)
You can play XDCAM HD media to a Client monitor or output a digital cut as Best Performance
(yellow/yellow) or Draft Quality (yellow/green). If you use Avid Nitris DX or Avid Mojo DX,
you can play out the back of the HD-SDI.
Working with AMA XDCAM Multiple Resolution Media
The XDCAM AMA plug-in allows you to link to low-resolution (proxy) or high-resolution
audio or video media. To link to the AMA XDCAM multiple resolution media, see “Working
with AMA Multiple Resolution Media” on page 393.
The AMA multiple resolution feature supports specific XDCAM devices which include a
/PROAV folder. For example, the Sony PDWU1 Professional Disc Drive Unit. See your Sony
documentation for information on how to enable the /PROAV directory for your device.
Avid editing systems do not support XDCAM proxy audio.
