For the last few years, Sony has been shipping cameras with a new format, XAVC. This format is found in the popular Sony PMW-F55 and PMW-F5. The digital container format of XAVC generally uses the MXF wrapper, with the audio and video in a single file, and covers different resolution rates, frame rates, colors and max bit rates, satisfying the different requirements to image quality.
XAVC can support 4K resolution (4096 × 2160 and 3840 × 2160) at up to 60 frames per second (fps).
