Combination Recording
Simultaneous RAW + SxS recording
You can simultaneously record RAW files to the AXSM Card in
your onboard AXS-R5 RAW recorder and record HD or 2K to an
SxS Pro+ Card in one of the camera’s two internal SxS slots.
The RAW files are like your camera original “negative.” The SxS
cards are like your “workprint,” and their files can be edited immediately.
Files on both cards will match frame-accurately as to
timecode, start frame, stop frame, file names and other metadata.
The camera supports the following RAW + Onboard combinations:
4K/2K RAW + XAVC 2K*/HD (* Expected as a future upgrade.)
4K/2K RAW + MPEG-2 HD422
2K RAW + XAVC QFHD*/4K (on F55, not on F5), and more.
Simultaneous SxS + SxS recording
Combination recording also lets you record to two internal SxS
Pro+ Cards at the same time.
You can mirror the data—which provides a simulataneous backup.
For example, one card could be sent to the editor, and the
other could be archived.
You can record each of the two SxS Pro+ cards in different formats.
Files on both SxS cards will match timecode, start frame, stop
frame, file names and other metadata, accurate to the frame.
These scenarios and more are illustrated in Peter Crithary’s diagrams
that follow.
