EDL-based Editing Scene Selection Function The Scene Selection function allows simple cuts-only editing*1 to be performed within the camcorder or deck itself. The result of these edits can be saved as an XDCAM EDL (also called a Clip List), which can be written back to the original disc so as to stay with the material. *1: The video and audio of a clip cannot be edited independently. Proxy Data At the same time as recording high-resolution video and audio data, a low-resolution version of this AV data (called Proxy Data) is recorded on the same disc. Proxy Data is much smaller in size, can be transferred at an amazingly high speed, easily browsed and simply edited using the XDCAM Browser (or compatible editing software offered by many other industry-leading manufacturers). Materials on Professional Disc Sub Metadata All XDCAM HD422 products are capable of recording a variety of metadata, which provides a huge advantage when searching for specific data after an initial recording has been made. Information such as production dates, creator names, and camera setup parameters can be saved together with the AV material. This makes it possible to organize and search through all recordings effectively. One particular metadata, called EssenceMark™ (Shot Mark), is a convenient reference that can be added to desired frames to make them easy to recall in subsequent editing processes. Clipflag is another convenient metadata which users can add to their desired clips as "OK","NG" (No Good) or "KP" (Keep). This simplifies efficient clip management, enabling for example batch ingesting of OK clips or deletion of all NG clips. XDCAM Workflow: Rapid Cuts-only Editing and Partial Transfer ➊ Proxy Data can be downloaded at an amazingly high speed. Users can easily find required material by referring to metadata. ➋ Users can quickly make a storyboard using the XDCAM Browser. Storyboarding can now be performed in the field with just a mid-specification notebook computer, because Proxy Data is so light in size. Storyboard data (the Clip List) is recorded back to Professional Disc media. ➌ If required, only the parts necessary for the storyboard are transferred to the editing system. XDCAM HD422 products can transfer materials to NLE systems in remote locations via Ethernet. Users can also transfer material to a VTR using an HD-SDI interface. Rapid-cuts-only Editing Edit XDCAM Browser Clip High-resolution data, Proxy Data, and the Clip List are separately recorded (to the Clip folder, Sub folder, and Edit folder, respectively). There are also a General folder and a User Data folder, both of which can be used to record any type of PC file. 6 NLE or VTR
