XDCAM Workflow Guide
IMC Technologies has optimized the XDCAM workflow for maximum flexibility as well as speed. Users can choose what to download
from the XDCAM, and whether to stay in native MXF format or to rewrap or transcode. We support access to multiple XDCAM units
at the same time and after the initial selection all the work is done in the background so the user can immediately start naming the
shots, sub-clipping, and editing either in proxy mode or using hi-res files.
Work in native MXF mode.
1. From M2, use the “Connect to XDCAM” function to download either by Ethernet or by i.LINK (FAM).
2. In the background we will automatically download all the clip metadata, proxy files and then the hi-res files.
3. Optionally, the user can choose to download the proxy files only and decide on the hi-res files later.
4. Clips can immediately be organized in M2, metadata may be added, names changed.
5. As the proxy files become available users can start Logging in M2 and Editing in RP/MP/N1.
6. Once the hi-res files are downloaded, the user can switch M2 or RP/MP/N1 to hi-res mode and all the work done is transparently available in either
mode.
Work in AVI/WAV mode.
1. From M2, use the “Connect to XDCAM” function to download either by Ethernet or by i.LINK (FAM).
2. Select a template to rewrap MXF into AVI/WAV.
3. In the background we will download the clip metadata, if proxy files and then hi-res files, and will start converting them.
4. Clips can immediately be organized in M2, metadata may be added, names changed.
5. Converted clips can be used as soon as they are created and they will grow dynamically as the conversion progresses.
6. Like above the proxy/hi-res switch is available.
Use XDCAM material with other NLEs.
1. From M2 Standalone, use the “Connect to XDCAM” function to download either by Ethernet or by i.LINK (FAM).
2. Select either native MXF, a template to rewrap MXF (eg. to AVI/WAV or to QT), or a template to convert to another format (eg. XDCAM IMX to DVCAM
in AVI/WAV).
3. In the background we will automatically download all the clip metadata and start downloading the selected files (proxy/hi-res) and convert them as
specified in step 2.
4. Converted files are written in read-while-writing mode so they may be accessed at all times and grow dynamically.
