Creating XDCAM output

Other constrained format is XDCAM. Just like with AVC Intra, all you need to do is to provide a preset which sets key video parameters to their proper values.

Format property lets you pick which type of XDCAM should be produced on the output.

XDCAM EX

Value (String)	XDCAM Output (all 35 Mbps VBR)
xdcam_ex_1080i60	1080i 29.97 (1920 x 1080)
xdcam_ex_1080i50	1080i 25 (1920 x 1080)
xdcam_ex_1080p30	1080p 30 (1920 x 1080)

XDCAM 422

Value (String)	XDCAM Output (all 50 Mbps CBR)
xdcam_422_1080i60	1080i 29.97 (1920 x 1080)
xdcam_422_1080i50	1080i 25 (1920 x 1080)

PCM

Format property lets you pick which type of PCM should be produced on the output. Available formats for OP1a below:

Value (String)	PCM Output
pcm_16int_little	PCM 16bit Little Endian
pcm_20int_little	PCM 20bit Little Endian
pcm_24int_little	PCM 24bit Little Endian

Composition below will produce 50Mbps XDCAM 422 MXF OP1a with 1920x1080p resolution at 30FPS and PCM audio 16bit Little Endian with the same channels configuration as source.
