HD 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720 Recording Using the MPEG HD422 Codec High-quality Uncompressed Audio Recording XDCAM HD422 products record and play back highdefinition video with 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720 resolutions using MPEG HD422 compression, which employs MPEG-2 4:2:2P@HL compression technology. Data rates of up to 50 Mbps are used for recording, providing the highest picture quality in the XDCAM Series while keeping data size as low as possible for easy transfer and transmission. Moreover, the MPEG HD422 codec is based on industry-standard MPEG compression, offering high compatibility with many other devices such as nonlinear editing systems. Wide Choice of Video Formats: Interlace and Progressive XDCAM HD422 products offer a wide choice of video formats for different frame rates and scanning modes. They include 59.94i, 50i, 29.97p, 25p, and 23.98p*1 in a resolution of 1920 x 1080, and 59.94p and 50p in 1280 x 720. *1: The PDW-700 requires the CBKZ-FC02 key. The PDW-HD1500 requires the PDBK-F1500 hardware key.
