The Best XAVC Converter to Convert XAVC to MP4 MOV FLV and More

Do you know Sony’s new PMW-F55 and PMW-F5? They are warmly welcomed by global fans. Do you know why they can stand out above the already-crowded HD camcorders marketplace? If we keep our eyes on their key features, we will find out the answer easily.

1. Both PMW-F55 and PMW-F5 are able to record 16-bit linear raw to a docked Sony recorder, the AXS-R5, in both 4K and 2K, at a sustained 2.3Gbps.

2. As for the record formats, the PMW-F5 offers 2K in Sony’s new codec XAVC (10-bit, 4:2:2, 100Mbps), as well as 1080P in a versatile range of Sony codecs (HDCAM SR Lite, XAVC HD and XDCAM HD).

3. The PMW-F55 internally records 4K in XAVC (4:2:2, 300Mbps- about an 8:1 compression on its external raw recording mentioned above), in addition to 2K and HD in the same formats as the F5 for higher frame rates and compression if desired.

Looking through the description above, we cannot miss the XAVC. Some people may wonder what it is. As a matter of fact, XAVC is a recording format which was introduced by Sony in 2012. With the successful sales of PMW-F55 and PMW-F5, the XAVC format has become more and more popular in the marketplace. It holds various advantages for high quality image reproduction including 4K pixel resolution, 10 bit color depth, wide color space (S-Gamut) and refined gamma (S-log). However, XAVC is not as popular as current video formats like MKV, AVCHD etc. In other words, it is not recognized by a lot of popular devices, programs and applications. Many people are disappointed by its poor compatibility, for example, they cannot import XAVC footage to mobile devices, say iPhone 5, Galaxy S4 etc for playing, or edit XAVC in Final Cut Pro smoothly.
