Hello folks, I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. My
production company has a rather odd workflow but it involves passing MXF
files from Sony cameras through Quantel systems. We're having a lagging
issue recalling footage. Quantel responded with the following:

What is the difference between Quantel MXF and XD Cam MXF in File Flow
Engines used for archiving out?

Quantel: The Quantel MXF option conforms to the OP-1a MXF standard. XDCAM
MXF is a Sony

proprietary version of MXF which works with the XDCAM folder structure and
use slightly

different codecs etc. Quantel will consider clarification of this in the
product documentation.

I've never heard of a Sony-proprietary MXF format. Does anyone have
additional data on this? Thanks!
