5.XDCAM-EX series is special, using SxS memory card. At present, there are two series, SxSPRO and SxS- 1, which are slightly lower in grade and adopt MPEG-2 long GOP compression mode, which is inter-frame compression and belongs to professional equipment.

6.XDCAM-HD series is a high-definition series product, which adopts MPEG-2 compression, 4:2:0 sampling, and the highest bit stream is 35 MB/s. ..

Extended data:

Cameras are very sophisticated and expensive equipment, so we should always pay attention to their safety when using them. When you go out to shoot, you should have a sound and safe packaging box. If it is transported by long-distance bus, pay attention to putting the camera equipment in the front of the car to minimize the vibration of the machine.

Here's how to use and maintain it:

1, protect the LCD screen, and the LCD screen of a digital camera may stick with some fingerprints or dirt that is not easy to erase during use. Besides wiping with a soft cloth, you can also stick a transparent protective film to prevent the screen from being scratched more effectively.

2. Photographers should pay attention to the connection between the cable and the video recorder when grabbing the lens, never run away with the machine, and ignore that the cable is still connected to the video recorder to prevent the cable from breaking the connection in the video recorder or camera cable due to excessive force.

The camera should be protected from the rain. Avoid using the camera in damp, high temperature, places where sharp objects scratch the lens, there is much dust and strong magnetic field. These factors will cause great damage to the camera or cause machine failure.

4. Because most cameras use camera tubes, long-term exposure to light or strong reflection may burn out the camera tubes. When the camera is in use, it can't face the light and the sun, let alone focus on them. This kind of loss should be avoided.
