Mark Burnett Productions standardizes on XDCAM HD

Mark Burnett Productions, which decided last year to use Sony’s XDCAM HD optical-disc format to launch the first season of CBS staple Survivor in HD, announced that it has standardized on the XDCAM format for most of its shows, including Expedition Africa: Stanley & Livingstone, The Contender and Wedding Day. The firm is using both the high-end 4:2:2 PDW-700 XDCAM HD camcorder and PDW-HD1500 recording deck for HD productions like Survivor, and earlier versions of XDCAM for standard-def shows.
