    Is HDCAM *really* 135 Mb/sec, or is it *really* 440 Mb/sec?

    Posted by Bill Russell on November 22, 2005 at 3:40 am

    When you capture to hard disk natively regular Sony HDCAM footage, using now say a JH-3, how much storage does it take up in your experience?

    See, the HDCAM specs say 135 Mb/sec, 8bit, 3:1:1 sampling (whatever that one is). BUT… does it really capture natively to hard drives at 135 Mb/sec, or does it transcode via the SDI to 4:2:2 uncompressed 440 Mb/sec or higher?

    Thanks for your help!

    If you have an xpri then you can record the compressed HDCAM codec.
    Otherwise you will record the HDSDI stream from the player.
