XDCAM is a format. It packages MPEG 2 or MPEG 4 files in a container called “.mxf.” Vegas can read these files natively, and has a unique proxy browser for XDCAM HD formats. It’s a standard of the ENG world. XDCAM EX records to SXS/Express cards, and XDCAM HD records to Professional Blu-ray discs.
XDCAM HD has either 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 color sampling, depending on which model you chose. Bitrates range from 35Mbps up, but XDCAM EX can shoot an HDV-compatible 25Mbps stream as well.Douglas Spotted Eagle
