Now, Sony is also actively bringing its XAVC format corresponding MPEG-4 / H.264 Intra Frame and Long GOP encoding into the XDCAM product linecovering high resolution high-bit-rate high-frame-rate capabilities and low bit rate production extending the lines usage into not only news production but also to TV program and commercial production. A new firmware upgrade adds XAVC support to the PMW-400 and PMW-300 memory camcorders, Sony is also working to further streamline XDCAM workflows in concert with the accelerated move toward file-based and networked-based implementations. Sonys CBK-WA100 and WA101 wireless adapters enable network transfer and mobile viewing of proxy files, significantly reducing the time required to get time-critical location work on air. As its effort to offer a viable wireless workflow, Sony Media Cloud Services has built Ci a cloud-based video production and collaboration platform for professional content creators.
