To export to an XDCAM device:
1 Connect your XDCAM device.
2 Select the appropriate mode on your XDCAM
device that corresponds to the video format that
you will be exporting.
For example, set your XDCAM device to 1080i
59.94 if you want to export a clip or sequence at
XDCAM-35 1080I/59.94.
3 Select the sequence or clips to export.
4 With an XDCAM device connected to your
system, do one of the following:
• Choose Output > Export to Device > XD-
CAM.
– or –
• Right-click the clip or sequence in a bin
and select Export to Device.
If you have a sequence loaded in the Record
monitor, the sequence is exported when you se-
lect Export to Device from the Output menu.
The XDCAM Export Settings dialog box opens.
5 Do one of the following:
• If you want to export only the portion of
the selected clip or sequence marked by In
and Out points, select Use Marks.
• If you want to export the entire selected
clip or sequence, deselect Use Marks.
6 Do one of the following:
• If you want to export only enabled tracks in
the Timeline, select Use Enabled Tracks.
• If you want to export all tracks in the se-
quence, deselect Use Enabled Tracks.
7 Select an XDCAM disk from the Target XD-
CAM Disk list.
If the target XDCAM disk you are exporting to
already has other clips on it, you are only al-
lowed to export a clip with the same number of
audio tracks. For example, if the target XDCAM
disk has a clip with 4 tracks of audio, you cannot
export a new XDCAM clip with 2 tracks. You ei-
ther have to reformat the disk and wipe it clean
or add two dummy tracks to your 2-track se-
quence before you export.
8 Select a Video Format as follows:
• For SD projects, select: DV-25, IMX30,
IMX40, or IMX50. For SD, a disk cannot
have mixed formats. For example, in order
to export IMX40, the disk must be format-
ted as IMX40.
• For HD projects, select XDCAM-35, XD-
CAM-25, or XDCAM-17. For HD, a single
disk can have clips with mixed bit rates
(17.5, 25, and 35 Mbits). Additionally, a se-
quence that is being exported to an HD
XDCAM disk can have mixed bit rates as
well.
If your exported sequence has more than two
audio tracks, only two tracks are exported, even
though the Sony XDCAM device is capable of
handling 4 to 8 tracks. If your sequence has
more than two tracks, they are mixed down dur-
ing export.
9 Select a Sample Bit Depth: 16 or 24 bits. (For
HD projects, select 16 bits—XDCAM HD devices
are not capable of handling 24 bits.)
10 Click OK.
Sony applies its own file-naming convention.
All exported clips are given a new sequential
name of Cxxxx.mxf, for example, C0019.mxf.
A progress bar appears displaying the new Sony
XDCAM sequential clip name. The sequence is
exported.
