Overview

Videos recorded by Sony PMW F5/F55/F65 and PXW-Z100 are saved in XAVC format. XAVC is a camera recording format that supports 4K resolution (4096 x 2160 and 3840 x 2160) at up to 60 frames per second (fps), 10 bit color depth. However, since XAVC is not widely supported, it is not easy to edit XAVC files with popular video editors or playback with players and portable devices.
