Setting a New Benchmark: XDCAM HD422 Takes the Lead in File-based Production Since its introduction in 2003, Sony's XDCAM™ Series has been embraced around the world for its file-based recording capability utilizing high-capacity and reliable Professional Disc™ media. Within this series, top-of-the-line XDCAM HD422 products were introduced in 2008; today, they represent an ever-expanding range that delivers a brilliant image resolution of 1920 x 1080 and eight-channel 24-bit uncompressed audio. With fast file-based operation and outstanding picture quality, XDCAM HD422 products are ideal for applications such as news gathering, when speed is a key concern, and invaluable when a high-quality impression is crucial, for example in the production of TV dramas, documentaries, and mainstream entertainment programs. In 2010, file-based operation was further enhanced with SxS Pro and SxS-1 memory media, while file interoperability was also maintained.
