Native File Recording

No File Re-Wrapping, No Re-Encoding and No Waiting

Native File Recording — the ability to record directly to the native file formats of non-linear editing systems — is the feature that will accelerate and streamline your production teams’ workflow both in the area of ENG and in the post production. Needless to say, these gains in production efficiency translate directly into significant cost savings for your business.ProHDinbro

ProHD memory card camcorders are designed to support most
professional non-linear editing systems. Users of Apple’s Final
Cut Pro™ can record directly in QuickTime™ MOV format, while
XDCAM EX™ MP4 file format* recording ensures broad
compatibility with other major NLE systems, including those
from Avid, Adobe and Canopus. Support for native file formats
eliminates any loss of quality when video is brought into the NLE
system for editing.
*GY-HM700 requires the optional KA-MR100G SxS memory card recorder for XDCAM
EX™ MP4 file-based workflow.
Note:
• Playback compatibility may not be guaranteed on the different types of products
due to variation of supported recording mode.
• MP4 is the compliant file format used on the XDCAM EX™.
• SxS is a flash memory card designed for professional video cameras with a
high-speed PCI Express interface.

Common File Wrapper with QuickTime™MOV & XDCAM EX™ MP4 Formats

Files recorded to SDHC media are
immediately editable without
conversion or file wrapping,
making on-the-fly editing possible
directly from the card. What's
more, the relatively small size of
MOV/MP4 files means that when
you need to transfer clips to HDD,
it is quick. In contrast, on-the-fly
editing in FCP of competing
formats is only possible after file
wrapping, and much larger file
sizes significantly increases clip
transfer times.

Integrating ProHD memory card
camcorders into your existing workflow can
reduce operating costs on three fronts: The
simplified, streamlined workflow makes it
possible to reduce total ENG and
newsroom staffing; the on-going purchase
of consumables and the need for frequent
expansion of server capacity is reduced;
and compatibility with the lower bit-rate
Super Encoded HD format means more
efficient use of leased fiber and microwave
bandwidth.
