For information on connecting your XDCAM device, see “Connecting the XDCAM or XDCAM
EX Device” on page 348.
See “XDCAM and XDCAM EX Formats and Resolutions” on page 346 for the formats and
resolutions you can export to the XDCAM device.
Exporting to XDCAM
You can export NTSC and PAL projects. Depending on the format (SD or HD), you need to use
the appropriate XDCAM device (if you export SD media, use an XDCAM SD device; if you
export HD media, you must use an XDCAM HD device).
By default, the Avid editing application pans audio tracks to the center which causes the
XDCAM export operation to combine audio channels 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and so on. Before you
export audio to XDCAM, use the Audio Mixer Tool to set the pan values to left/right in order to
maintain discrete audio tracks in your exported media.
To export to an XDCAM device:
1. Connect your XDCAM device.
2. Select the appropriate mode on your XDCAM device that corresponds to the video format
that you will be exporting.
For example, set your XDCAM device to 1080i 59.94 if you want to export a clip or
sequence at XDCAM-35 1080I/59.94.
3. Select the sequence or clips to export.
4. Select Clip > Export to Device > XDCAM.
If you have a sequence loaded in the Record monitor, the sequence exports when you select
Export to Device.
