Sony will introduce a high-definition version of the XDCAM optical technology in March 2006.

XDCAM HD products, featuring one camcorder and two decks, will offer users the ability to record 1080i video at three data recoding rates: 18-, 25-, and 35Mb/s. The XDCAM HD camcorder will also feature 24P acquisition and native recording capabilities and be able to record four channels of 16-bit, 48kHz uncompressed audio.
