The PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software that is
supplied with all XDCAM products is a highly
convenient tool to easily browse recorded footage
and even perform simple cuts-only editing right on
your PC. This software also provides a variety of
convenient tools for disc operation such as entire or
partial disc copy (dubbing) and transfer between
two XDCAM devices. It runs on a Windows-based
PC, and supports two types of interfaces: i.LINK
(File Access Mode) and Ethernet.
The XDCAM HD products can transfer Proxy Data
to a PC running the PDZ-1 software at an extremely
high speed. The software then enables simple and
quick cut editing of this Proxy Data, and once the
editing is complete, the edit results can be saved as
a “Clip List” (or “XDCAM EDL”) and written back to
the original disc, allowing the disc to be played back
according to the EDL. The Clip List also allows you
to instantly generate a popular ASF file, which can
be played back according to the EDL on Windows
Media Player – a powerful feature that can streamline
production workflows.
The PDZ-1 software also includes a variety
of convenient functions such as “clip search by
metadata”, “EDL export in various formats”, and
“high-resolution file transfer according to a Clip
List”.
PDZ-VX10 XDCAM Viewer is a tool that enables you to play back and check the video and audio material in MXF files. In addition to playback of
proxy AV data, it supports playback of the material at its original screen quality. So, after a shoot you can upload the MXF files to your server or
PC and quickly browse and quality check the material in High Definition on your desktop.
