Recording Format and Editing Workflow The Revolutionary AVCHD Format AVCHD is an efficient data compression method which greatly reduces memory requirements. The new format allows tapeless recording with high image quality in a small file size. This is made possible by the revolutionary MPEG4 AVC/H.264 codec. In addition, the AVCHD file format is spreading rapidly into the market. Many consumer electronic devices already support AVCHD playback, and more are likely to come. Major NLE software manufacturers already support AVCHD ingestion and editing. Loss-less Audio Recording Capability The audio recording format on HXR-NX5U can be selected from either Dolby Digital stereo or Linear PCM stereo. LPCM audio recording provides uncompressed audio quality. Customers who needs high quality audio, such as in music videos will be able to acquire CD quality audio data. MPEG-2 for SD (standard definition) Recording Format SD format recording is available in addition to HD format recording. The SD recording format uses MPEG-2 which is the same compression codec as standard DVD-VIDEO Discs. Customers who make delivery in DVD-VIDEOs will be able to obtain video data in sufficient SD quality using this format.
