Professional Disc™ Media 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.
