Sony’s XAVC format employs MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 level 5.2, the highest picture resolution and frame rate video compression codec based on industry standards. XAVC enables a very wide range of operational possibilities for content production, notably: from Proxy to 4K pixel resolutions, intra frame and long GOP schemes, and 1080 50P/60P infrastructure capability.

Built with the principles of workflow efficiency, evolution and optimized image quality at its heart, Sony’s XAVC can support the following content formats: 

• 
  4K (4096 x 2160 and 3840 x 2160), HD and proxy resolution 
  
• 
  MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression 
  
• 
  12, 10 and 8 bit color depth 
  
• 
  Up to 60fps 
  
• 
  MXF wrapping format can be used 
  
• 
  4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0 color sampling 
  

XAVC has been developed as an open format, providing a license program for other manufacturers in the broadcast and production industry to develop their own high quality and high frame rate products.
