5. (Option) Select Use Marks.
When Use Marks is selected, the current IN and OUT points in the selected clip or sequence
determine starting and ending frames for the export.
6. (Option) Select Use Enabled Tracks.
When Use Enabled Tracks is selected, the system uses tracks that are enabled in the
Timeline. To export all the tracks in the sequence, deselect this option.
7. Select an XDCAM HD disk from the Target XDCAM Disk list.
If the target XDCAM disk you are exporting to already has other clips on it, you are only
allowed to export a clip with the same number of audio tracks. For example, if the target
XDCAM disk has a clip with 4 tracks of audio, you cannot export a new XDCAM clip with
2 tracks. You either have to reformat the disk and wipe it clean or add two dummy tracks to
your 2-track sequence before you export.
8. Select a video format.
Select XDCAM-50, XDCAM-35, XDCAM-25, or XDCAM-17.
For HD, a single disk can have clips with mixed bit rates (17.5, 25, and 35 Mbits).
Additionally, a sequence that is being exported to an HD XDCAM disk can have mixed bit
rates, as well.
If you use the Sony PDW HD1500 or the Sony PDW 1500 XDCAM device, export of up to
8 tracks of audio is supported for the MPEG IMX and XDCAM HD 50 Mbits formats. For
other formats or devices that do not support 8 tracks, the system mixes down to audio tracks
1 and 2 during export.
9. Select a Bit Depth: 16 or 24 bits.
For HD projects, select 16 bits. XDCAM HD devices are not capable of handling 24 bits,
except for the Sony PDW HD1500 device, which is capable of handling 24 bits.
10. Click OK.
