It’s all about workflow.

The XDCAM

®

Professional Disc system

brings you the efficient workflow of

file-based recording, plus the comfort,

reliability, and predictability of a

medium that you can exchange like

tape. It provides the advantages of

both conventional VTR operation and

cutting-edge IT features like high-speed

data transmission and proxy A/V data

management. With these advantages

comes a highly sophisticated and

comprehensive workflow for your

content.

A crucial component of the XDCAM

HD system is Sony’s Professional Disc

media which was co-engineered with

XDCAM hardware equipment to assure

maximum compatibility, stability, and

performance in extreme temperature,

humidity, and vibration environments.

High density recording.

Sony’s blue-violet laser technology

means extraordinary high density

recording. This enables Sony to provide

high capacity discs that support

various video recording workflows.

The formatted 23GB* single-layer disc

(PFD23A/3) holds up to 43 minutes, the

50GB* dual-layer disc (PFD50DLA/3)

holds up to 95 minutes, and the

100GB* triple-layer disc (PFD100TLA)

holds up to 190 minutes of material

at the best quality (HD 422, 50 Mbps).

The 128GB* quad-layer write-once disc

(PFD128QLW) holds up to 240 minutes

of recording capability at 50Mbps.

Affordable, removable,

archivable media.

Depending on the feature set of your

recorder, Professional Disc media can

capture a wide range of video formats,

including DVCAM

®

and MPEG IMX

®

standard definition, as well as XDCAM

HD and XDCAM MPEG HD422. When

used with select decks, the entire disc

capacity can be used for writing data

files of any type. This gives the XDCAM

disc format expanded flexibility beyond

video content.

Unlike some other tapeless media,

Professional Disc media can be used

for everything from acquisition to

program exchange, editing, play-to-air,

and archiving.
