Affordable, removable, archivable media. Unlike some other tapeless media, Professional Disc media can be used for everything from acquisition to program exchange, editing, play-to-air and archiving.
Format flexibility. The same media supports DVCAM™, MPEG IMX?, XDCAM SD, XDCAM HD and XDCAM MPEG HD422 codecs.
High transfer speed. For faster-than-real-time speed, the disc supports write transfers up to 86 Mbps using one optical head.
Extended data recording. XDCAM discs can be utilized for storage of data files with the use of selected hardware, like the PDW-1500HD AV/IT recorder. This gives the XDCAM disc format expanded flexibility beyond video content.
