"Searching for Home: Coming back from War"
Eric Christiansen, an award-winning filmmaker, chose to shoot with XDCAM HD for this challenging project.
In 2003, Sony introduced a series of products for video recording using nonlinear media. Along with the advantages of a tapeless workflow, this heralded a number of other tremendous benefits including file based recording, split second random access capability, thumbnail search capability, no overwriting on existing footage and an IT/network capability. Sony named this epoch-making product line the XDCAM® Professional Disc™ System.
Since then, the XDCAM series has continued to demonstrate the many advantages of nonlinear recording, including a superb system for high definition (HD) production. In response to ever-increasing demands of video production, Sony has expanded the XDCAM series by introducing four lines of products - the XDCAM HD422, XDCAM HD, XDCAM SD and XDCAM EX - each of which is well suited to meet the wide range of applications and budget constraints. For user flexibility, there is also a choice of recording format, such as HD or SD, recording bit rate, interlace or progressive mode, and optical disc or memory card recording media.
With the XDCAM family, users can now select the product best suited to the particular production being created, and enjoy all the great benefits and efficiencies of a nonlinear workflow.
