Not just video, XDCAM archive manages all your documents, pictures, music clips, and graphics; in fact anything you want!

This intuitive system offers great tools for digitizing, importing, cataloguing, and archiving, besides supporting ingesting of video content from both file-based and tape-based materials.

Q: 2. I am looking to purchase the AX700, NX80 or the Z90. My primary use will be to record live band in low light. The video editing software I use is CyberLink Power Director 17 64bit. Will I be able to edit footage from any of these 3 cameras with this software or will I need different software?

A: Yes it will. Cyberlink Power Director 17 is able to import and edit MP4 (XAVC S, XAVC 8bit 4:2:0) files. It will work with the files that those cameras create. https://bhpho.to/2kZCcAM

Q: 3. I'm looking for a 4K video camera with both HDMI & SDI video outputs, as well as XLR audio inputs... which led me to this product. My question is how much background blur this aperture/sensor ratio can produce, and whether a different camera, also meeting the above criteria, might produce better background blur? For example, I read that the aperture is f2.8 when the zoom is set to all the way wide -- but to what focal length would that correspond in full frame mirrorless terms? Thanks in advance!

Q: 9. I tested this camera in the field for some weeks and when I got back, surprise - the video noise is very high, especially the colour noise. Even at 0dB when you apply corrections in the post the images look ugly. Compared to X70 it is very noisy. I used a customised picture profile (Vortex Media), not Slog, but I really don't know why this noise. I miss the old X70. I started a documentary project with X70 and it looks much much better on that camera (with colour corrections applied). Please help... does anyone know why this happens? And if this can be corrected?

A: If you are getting high nose even in well-lit conditions, I suggest having the camera checked out by Sony.
