The company adopted the MPEG-2 Full HD (4:2:2) file-based recording codec for its new professional video camera being developed right now. This codec provides high-quality images and audio with data recording up to 50 Mbps and twice as much color data as HDV profile formats.
File-based recording helps video operations increase their efficiency during post-production processes, making it an ideal format for various industry applications such as news gathering, documentary making, and event recording.
The adoption of MPEG-2 Full HD compression (which is compatible with MPEG-2 4:2:2P@H) allows HD video recordings to be made at 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. In addition, compared to the 4:2:0 profile format, used in HDV and other standards, 4:2:2 color sampling provides twice the volume of data as well as twice the color resolution.
Other advantages of this cpdec are: it provides a higher resolution and an increase in color data to enable the recording of HD video, it has the open source file format MXF (Material eXchange Format) for the recording of video, audio and metadata, support for editing and processing software programs from companies such as Adobe Systems Incorporated, Avid Technology, and Grass Valley.
