Flash XDR User’s Manual
• 100/140/180/220/280 Mbps = Full-Raster (1920x1080/1280x720) 4:2:2 I-Frame
SD Bit Rate (Qt, MXF)
• for Standard Def: 50, (40, 30 ver1.5.25) Mbit IMX 4:2:2 (720x486/720x576)
HD Bit Rate (MPG)
1. 19/25/35 Mbps (1920x1080/1280x720) 4:2:0 Long-GOP
SD Bit Rate (MPG)
1. 5/9 Mbps 4:2:0 Long-GOP
CODEC (Long GOP / I-Frame)
This option selects the XDCAM 422 CODEC format. Long GOP is the standard, and supports
the bit rates at 35, 50, 100, 140, and 180 Mbps. I-Frame only allows recording at 100, 180,
and 220 Mbps. The Flash XDR utilizes the high quality Sony XDCAM 4:2:2 CODEC for video
compression. The data rates of 100 Mbit or greater Long GOP and 180 Mbit or greater I-
Frame are generally considered to be Master Quality video. The highest quality video from the
Flash XDR is the 180 Mbit Long-GOP video, due to the greater efficiency of Long GOP
recording vs. I-Frame.
Record PSF->Progressive [ ]
Turn “On” to record PSF input video or progressive input video as progressive. Turn “Off” to
record PSF input video or interlaced video as interlaced.
Play Progressive->PSF [ ]
Turn “on” to play 1080p progressive video off of a CF card as PSF video to the video outputs.
( Note: some SDI monitors only accept 1080PSF video, not progressive. In this case,
set “On”.)
Turn “off” to play 1080p progressive video as 1080p. ( Note: HDMI monitors do not support
1080psf23.98 . In this case set “Off”. )
SD Aspect Ratio
For Standard Definition Video input only: select the pixel aspect ratio (16:9 or 4:3). This
setting needs to match the camera's aspect ration setting for SD.
Remove 3:2 Pulldown
Preserves 1080p2398 frame rate from a 1080p2398 source which is outputting as 1080i59.94
with 3:2 pulldown, such as Canon cameras in 24F mode. Be sure this feature is turned off if
not needed. Now works with 720p60 sources (to 720p24) (ver1.5.25).
E to E Direct (SDI Output loop-through only)
Sets the SDI loop-through output to the exact same format as the incoming video format (such
as psf). This is particularly useful for looping through a PSF input. However, in E to E mode,
only embedded video/audio/timecode are looped to the output (not analog audio, nor
LTC/internal timecode). ( Note: some SDI monitors only accept 1080PSF video, not
progressive. In this case, set E to E “On” to loop out PSF from a PSF input.)
Time-Lapse
Records individual video frames (as I-Frame only) based on a set time interval
