Introducing the XDCAM Professional Media Station for a Unique
Hybrid Workflow and Wide Range of Multi-tasking Operations.
Since introducing XDCAM
®
Professional Disc™ products in 2003, Sony has been supporting
smooth migration from tape to tapeless with user-friendly file-based operations. To
accelerate operational efficiency, Sony introduced the revolutionary XDCAM EX™
camcorder with SxS
®
memory cards in 2007. Like the XDCAM Professional Disc products, this
new camcorder series adopted MPEG2 Long GOP compression technology.
Now, to meet a broad variety of customer application needs, Sony has established a
unique hybrid workflow featuring both of these media formats - Professional Disc and SxS
card - that share the same compression technology. Sony proudly introduces a powerful
new XDCAM family member, the XDCAM Professional Media Station (XDCAM Station)
providing a “bridge solution” between Professional Disc media and SxS cards, and featuring
large-capacity internal storage (HDD or SSD).
By supporting this range of recording media, the XDCAM Station realizes a flexible hybrid
workflow and enables high-performance multi-tasking operations. It has the characteristics
both of a utility deck, with VTR-like user-interface, and of a high-performance server system
in one single unit.
