XAVC S consumer-use 4K/HD recording format
The AX1 records 4K/HD movies in the XAVC S format, which was developed for consumer use based on the XAVC 4K/HD format suited for professional use. To extend the hours of 4K video capture capacity, XAVC S employs the Long GOP codec of H.264/AVC for video file compression. Moreover, the MP4 container format simplifies the handling of 4K video.
High-quality 50 Mbps HD recording
The XAVC S can record high-quality images at 50 Mbps even during Full HD (1920 x 1080) recording.
