Importing XDCAM Media
XDCAM and XDCAM HD devices store media as MXF OP1a interleaved files. Your Avid
editing application does not use these files directly. Instead, you must first import the media. The
import process creates new video and audio MXF OP Atom media files which consist of one
video track and up to eight audio tracks.
n
Low-resolution proxy media have the same number of audio tracks as the high-resolution
formats.
