XAVC is a recording format that was introduced by Sony on October 30, 2012. It is licensed to companies that want to make XAVC products.
==Technical details== XAVC can use level 5.2 of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, which, when XAVC was introduced, was the highest level supported by H.264 and which they now call XAVC S 4K/XAVC S HD. In addition, their XAVC HS 4K or 8K versions can use the MPEG-H HEVC/H.265 codec with 10-bit color sampling. XAVC can support 4K resolution (4096×2160 and 3840×2160) at up to 60 frames per second (fps). XAVC supports color depths of 8, 10, and 12 bits. Chroma subsampling can be 4:2:0, 4:2:2, or 4:4:4. The Material Exchange Format (MXF) can be used for the digital container format.
