I use [the XDCAM Component] to import XDCAM footage from Sony PDW-1500 deck. It doubles the transfer speed. I get high quality footage with no dropped frames during capture. This saves me time and is a solution I can trust. Working with freeware like Sony XDCAM FAM Driver Tool does not save time; instead it loads a lot of cache and increases the amount of data, so my workflow is much more qualified and simple when using [the XDCAM Component].”

[The XDCAM Component] saves us hours in our many edit sessions. We are able to accommodate more clients on a weekly basis and able to do more work with those clients during their allotted edit sessions with the help of [the XDCAM Component]. The time and money saved digitizing our footage compared to the old fashioned way is infinitely favorable to WJCT. Our clients marvel at the speed in which WJCT now operates in the edit suites.”
